It is set in pastiche Gothic horror universe and features a highly stylized, cartoonish graphic style. The series' characters are based on either various kinds of monsters or their hunters. Darkstalkers introduced many of the concepts used in later Capcom fighting games, including its first use of 16-bit color animation sprites and gameplay mechanics later employed in the Street Fighter Alpha and Marvel vs. Capcom series. Some individual characters (usually Morrigan and often Felicia) appeared in the later Capcom games, as well as in a few crossover games by other companies. Besides video games, the Darkstalkers media franchise also includes a cartoon TV series, an anime miniseries, a comic book series, and several manga, guide and art books.

Darkstalkers are very dangerous, though they do have their own society and can be quite helpful if you have things to offer them in return. All creatures with the Darkstalker subtypegain the ability to grant the Ghost Touch enchantment to any weapon it touches so long as it stays in it's possession. This is granted even if the weapon doesn't have a +1 bonus already and does not grant the weapon a +1 bonus.

This was Capcom's second fighting game franchise after Street Fighter, which means it shares many similarities with its sibling series (Gamepro infamously referred to it as "Street Fighter in a Halloween costume"): numerous characters have similar fighting styles to the Street Fighter cast, and the game features a six-button control scheme. Darkstalkers was one of the first fighting games to introduce the concept of Super Moves, bring air blocking into the mix, and expand basic combos into lengthy streams before any of the Capcom vs. Whatever games were created. The Darkstalkers series is also notable for having quite a bit of Fan Service, specifically due to Morrigan and Felicia (whose designs are unashamedly provocative -- in particular, Felicia doesn't even wear clothes). Morrigan is likely best known for her appearances in the various Vs. fighting games -- including Marvel vs. Capcom and Capcom vs. SNK -- and even more notorious for having the same sprites recycled for over seven years (which caused her to clash in sprite style with just about everyone else). She received new sprites for Namco x Capcom (which used a slightly Super-Deformed battle sprite style akin to Pocket Fighter before it), and since Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (and Marvel vs. Capcom 3) use 3D graphics, Morrigan's original sprites appear to be dead for good. A new Darkstalkers game -- as in, entirely new, instead of a re-release of past content -- hasn't been made since 1997. On July 21 2011, Yoshinori Ono said he is pushing Capcom hard to revive the series. In his own words: DARKSTALKERS ARE NOT DEAD! Darkstalkers 4 is also rumored to be in development since that time.
