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.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
The game is beautiful... the gameplay and the graphics are very well maded. The exploration is great, just like old GBA, or DS castlevanias... a lot of things to do, a lot of ways to search. If you enjoy SotN or playing castlevanias on GBA or DS... this game is for you... I think it's even better in a lot of aspect.
Btw... special mention to the good aesthetics... becuase usualy 3d graphics in 2d mechanics doesn't match very well... but (thank god) it's not the case... and the 3d models looks just as good as the beatiful Miriam's design. 100% reccomeded! =)
For anyone who has waited and hoped for years and years that Konami would make another classic 2D Symphony of the Night-style Castlevania, and been continually disappointed and frustrated that they don't, your wait is finally over.
Bloodstained is Castlevania in all but name and after playing for even a short amount of time, you will find yourself forgetting that it doesn't technically carry the brand, It doesn't bring anything particularly new to the table, but it does everything you expect and want and does so spectacularly.
It looks gorgeous and the gameplay is a beautiful return to form. There are plenty of good "Metroidvainas" out there but this is the real deal. This is Castlevania.
If you enjoyed Symphony of the Night and any of the other similarly styled Castlevania games I cannot help but feel you're going to enjoy this one as well. The controls are pretty good, the game's fluid for the most part (I've seen some very minor glitches and a single crash), and most importantly it's very fun!
Honestly, though, even if you aren't here for the nostalgia, this is an excellent exploration game, and while the graphics aren't going to win any awards it looks good, and it plays well. I'm more than satisfied with my purchase. Hell, I bought a 2nd copy for my little brother for his birthday!
Scratched that SotN itch that has been around for a while.
BTW, If you get a freezing black screen on launch, try renaming the Movies folder. That worked for me:
