BLOODSTAINED: RITUAL OF THE NIGHT aka the Spiritual successor of Symphony of the Night

There’s a large chunk of the CV community that won’t play and shits on anything that isn’t 2D. They’re usually the ones that don’t play anything but metroidvanias and basically parrot what other people have said about certain games without even trying them for themselves.

Visual improvements…

I am glad the dress was left unchanged. I really like blood on her face! I do not like her Japanese voice.

Fuck.

I want a Tom Dubois poster.

Am I the only one that thought of this guy when I read Tom Dubois?

This is good, hopefully it’ll give the game a bit of a bump. They really did a great job with it.

It’s pretty sick no doubt. Might have to cop it…or try anyway.

New gameplay…

I like the OST better than the one from the pirate ship. Seems like they added some fairy wings effects when she double jumps.

The platforming looks halfway interesting so thats something.

Game’s looking really good, i can’t wait to get my hands on it

Love how they embraced the troll language on social media and made an official ‘poop vs. new’ comparison video just to shove it in.

Too bad the Switch version seems to be noticeably inferior, would have loved to play this in handheld mode in memory of the great GBA-to-DS Castlevania days.

And finally, it was recently revealed that certain retailers would be giving away a Bloodstained FuturePak steel case for preorders of the game while supplies lasted. I’m happy to announce that we will be selling 800 stand-alone FuturePak steel cases for $14.99 exclusively to backers.

These cases feature a glossy metal renditioning of Mana Ikeda’s fantastic box art for the game, and an internal hinge so when fully opened the case creates a flat surface to display the art. The cases hold game discs and Switch cartridges. We’ll be sure to announce exactly when these will go on sale, so stay tuned!

Hmm now I am wondering if to keep my special backer edition or sell it online to get that steelcase?

$60

SPECIAL BACKER EDITION
PHYSICAL COPY

A physical copy of the game for XBOX ONE, PS4, or STEAM (PC/Mac/Linux). Includes exclusive backer-only content and a special Kickstarter-exclusive slipcase!"

Many of you probably guessed or assumed correctly that this was coming for some time now, but I guarantee not a single one of you will ever guess who our third playable character is going to be… >:] (angelic muahahahaing)

An update on “Miriam’s Gaze” PS4 dynamic theme preorder bonus: I’m happy to announce that we will be providing every PS4 backer, both digital and physical and regardless of tier, this dynamic theme for free! Will share more news on when to expect these codes as soon as we have all the details locked down. I’m biased but it’s really beautiful and features the song “Holy Wisdom” straight from the soundtrack. Big thanks to Truant Pixel for making the theme. :slight_smile:

Yea I had a suspicion Zangetsu would end up playable after Curse of the Moon dropped. He looks cool.

Damn Iga you getting me hype for one of your games for the first time in fucking years.

Full powered Zangetsu from CotM half fits anyways- would like to see it like a more fleshed out Richter mode.

I would say get Bloodstained first, support the little guys. Samurai Showdown is already profitable, it can wait a little. And if you preorder you get that cool steelcase above!
