You can also get Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - Miriam’s Complete Cosmetic Bundle here.
Bloodstained®︎: Ritual of the Night is the FULL game experience, an exploration-focused, side-scroller action RPG packing all of the best features you've come to know and love from the Metroidvania genre into a single, content-packed game.
Play as Miriam, an orphan scarred by an alchemist’s curse which slowly crystallizes her body. In order to save herself, and indeed, all of humanity, she must battle her way through a demon-infested castle summoned by Gebel, her old friend whose body and mind has become more crystal than flesh.
WHAT'S IN THE GAME?
13 FREE DLCs via future content updates. “Speed Demon” Update containing Speed Run Mode, Boss Rush Mode and the Pure Miriam outfit available at launch!
Addictingly tight and satisfying gameplay alongside a rich new story in the gothic dark fantasy style of Koji Igarashi, the celebrated godfather of "Igavania" games.
Story cut scenes and NPC interactions fully voice acted by a star-studded cast, including actors like David Hayter, Ray Chase and Erica Lindbeck to name just a few. (Seriously, we have a lot of voice acting star power in this game, it's kinda nuts...)
Three playable characters, two of which have yet to be revealed...
Literally a metric ton of weapons and spells, which you can upgrade, level up and visually customize.
Beautiful 2.5D graphics: 3D models crafted with a lot of love and care on a 2D game environment. That means lots of cool tricks that "regular" 2D can't do...
THE FUTURE
Expect a worryingly large amount of announcements and updates, everything from updating the look of this page to the game in general. It's going to be one wild ride.

Overall, this one is a hella fun metroidvania. There were a couple of moments that made me scratch my head in a bad way. Like an item necessary for progression being a random drop from a common monster and then another one hidden maybe too well. But at the same time, the game provided clues necessary in other places and can't say I struggled too much.
The strength of this game lies in an insane variety of weapons and spells to choose from. Closer to the end of the game I've created a literal death mashine of a character and demolished everything in my way. Like I said, hella fun. Plus great customization. The difficulty is decently balanced as well imo. I was kinda on the verge between 4 and 5, but think this game deserves it. Plus, it gets constantly updated and there's a lot more stuff on the way. So big props to the devs! Thank you for a grat game.
I'm a kickstarter backer of the game, and I was in love with it from the beginning. Best $60 I ever spent on a kickstarted project. The game is beautiful, the music is excellent. Gameplay is an improved, or dare I say it, perfected form of the gameplay in Symphony of the Night and Aria/Dawn of Sorrow.
At the risk of spoilers, I wish the inversion had been more deeply integrated into the late game, as the inverted castle of SotN was one of my favorite aspects of SotN, that first moment as the castle descends from the clouds...chills...
I'd avoid more spoilers, but there is just so much done right here. Excellent nostalgia, even outright references to Castlevania. OD is easily my favorite character, the next best thing to including Alucard.
The _ONLY_ thing this game is missing.....is a sequel. Like, a LOT of sequels. Go Iga, go!
This entire game just shows how collossally stupid Konami was for dumping it's star developers to focus on mobile games. Hey Konami, now that the mobile gold rush is over, feeling a little regret perhaps? $5.5 million kickstarted, and probably that much again in the next few months in sales across platforms. Sucks to be you, Konami! :D
