Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Description
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.

8.8/10
The wait was worth it. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a whole new castle to crash full of unexpected monsters and mysteries in the vein of classic Castlevania.

8.5/10
Ritual of the Night starts off a little too familiar, but quickly ramps up into an impressive exemplar of the genre it's retreading

The wait was worth it - this spiritual successor to Castlevania is a gorgeous, accessible 2D platformer stuffed with nostalgia.

Amazing Metroidvania
If you love Metroidvania games in which you explore and rexplore the map, then this game is for you. Beautiful graphics, amazing sound, and tons to collect and do for the most ardent completionist.

Metroidvania as it's (almost) best.
I'll try to be as clear and concise as i can. It's a VERY good Metroidvania : the fighting, the atmosphere, the art direction, the voice acting, the progression, etc. Everything SCREAMS Castlevania. Which is good... ... until we get to the weapons "technique", which are reminiscent of games like "Tekken" to be pulled off. Mind you, i have personally nothing against games like Tekken or Soul Calibur ; the combos are sick beyond word. But here's the thing : Metroidvania ISN'T Tekken. If going through a needlessly complicated inputs setup is necessary to unleash a spinning attack, i just won't bother. It's not about "skills" but "ergonomy" ; it's takes me to press down, down left and left in the opposite direction where the character is facing and pressing the attack button in rapid succession to do the combo. Why not making it a simple "keep pressing the attack button to do the special attack" and be done with that ? 4 out of 5 because of this. Otherwise the game is fire.
