Jedah Dohma, one of the high nobles of Makai, is resurrected after a premature death long ago. Seeing the current chaotic state of the demon world, he decides that the only way to save Makai is to recreate it. To this end, he conjures a pocket dimension known as Majigen, to which he summons worthy souls to help feed his new world. As luck would have it, those souls belong to the returning Darkstalkers from the first two games, in addition to three newcomers.

Vampire Savior was positively received. In Japan, Game Machine listed Vampire Savior on their June 15, 1997 issue as being the second most-successful arcade game of the month. Game Machine also listed Vampire Savior II on their November 15, 1997 issue as being the tenth most-successful arcade game of the month. Next Generation reviewed the arcade version of the game, stating that "the game has its moments, but this series has so far reached its zenith in NightStalkers.

DS3 is more of the same - it's fun, but nothing special." GamePro echoed these two conclusions, but in reverse priority: "... Vampire Savior is more of the same 2D fighting-game formula Capcom's been churning out for years. Despite this fact, however, the latest Darkstalkers entry holds up beautifully."
