Bloodstained Returns With Curse Of The Moon 2
Koji Igarashi, the mad genius behind the Castlevania series, currently can’t make any more games for it because Konami is awful right now. So several years back, he decided to strike out on his own with Bloodstained, a series that bears a great resemblance to Castlevania with its sidescrolling haunted castles and whips, yet is legally distinct. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was the big project, but Iga and his team generated enough interest to crowdfund a smaller, 8-bit styled side project: Curse of the Moon. Since it didn’t take quite as long to make a game with retro visuals, CotM came out before RotN. We don’t know if Ritual of the Night will get a sequel, but Curse of the Moon will, and rather quickly at that. We’re getting it next month! Curse of the Moon 2 brings classic 2D action and a dark, 8-bit aesthetic together with modern playability. The multiple-scenario structure of the previous title returns with an epic new story supervised by IGA (Koji Igarashi) himself.
