From the mind of Castlevania series creator Koji Igarashi comes Bloodstained Ritual of the Night a culmination of years’ worth of experience making the Castlevania series condensed into one game. We follow the game’s protagonist Miriam as she tries to free herself from a curse that slowly turns her body into a crystal, she must battle her way through a demon-infested castle to her childhood friend Gebel, who has been entirely consumed by the curse.  

• Classic side scroller Metroidvania game with the modern JRPG look.
• Hundreds of items and weapons to find and discover, a lot more hidden in secret rooms and chambers.
• The soundtrack is composed by the celebrated Michiru Yamane of Castlevania fame.

Reviews

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is as close to perfect as fans of Metroidvania games could hope for. Exploration is absolutely a blast; the enemies are as enjoyable to kill as they are creative, and aspects such as backtracking and grinding are actually fun. Plus, plenty of other game modes await after the final boss is slain, such as Boss Rush. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has enough to keep gamers hooked for nights on end, and it’s only going to get bigger as time goes on.

Igarashi-san has made another masterpiece. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is an unapologetic celebration of the best parts of his previous work, bringing them all together with some fresh approaches to progression. Gorgeous and rewarding, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is phenomenal and is a worthy, near-flawless successor to Symphony Of the Night, and that’s high praise indeed.
