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.

Bloodstained-Ritual of the night

This game is uber addictive! It's what Castlevania and metroid should've been. Awesome graphics, story, gameplay and quality.

Amazing game!

Words can't describe the feeling I’m having while playing this game... I honestly don’t know why I didn’t play it sooner. If you're a Castlevania fan—especially Symphony of the Night—buy this without hesitation! It's a masterpiece with a massive nostalgic vibe. The soundtrack, the huge variety of weapons and gear (and yes, the gear actually shows on your character—total RPG vibes), appearance customization, epic bosses, the shard system (every enemy drops a unique skill, making builds super customizable)—everything is just fantastic. My only regret? Not playing this game earlier. Score: 9.9/10!

Excellent game! Worthy Succesor =^.^=

This is how spiritual succesors of great franchises should be done. From the graphics, to the great gameplay, modern features and the absolutely beautiful sountrack by Michiru Yamane herself, this is truly an instant favorite. Indeed Iga's best work so far.

Imperfect but pretty good

Its a really good metroidvania with amazing music and vibes. Balance is pretty wack, but even that its fun on an old-school kinda way. Experiment and explore enough and have fun breaking the game and destroying everything. All weapons are viable, but magic takes a while to take off because of how MP regen increases work. Still very fun.

Castlevania on Crack

This has to be one of the best metroidvania games ever. It is visually stunning. You think its made by konami themselves. I highly recomend this game.
