Blasphemous and Bloodstained: Together At Last

Blasphemous and Bloodstained: Together At Last

, , , , 0

Blasphemous is a fast-paced, hard-as-nails action platformer that was released to consoles and PC in 2019. It’s been updated sporadically since then…The Stir Of Dawn, a free DLC upgrade that added more bosses and a new story path among other things, was released last August. Now the game has been updated again, and you won’t believe with what. A new visitor has arrived in Cvstodia….Miriam, as in the protagonist of Iga’s Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night! She’s somehow crossed games and doesn’t know how to get back! So she seeks the help of The Penitent One, and the two set off on a new quest the developers call…Strife & Ruin. Tasked with helping Miriam return to her world, players must complete a series of platforming challenges and collect shards to repair her portal home. Filled with traps that force the player to hone their precision platforming abilities, those who pass the test and help Miriam return to her world will have a special reward bestowed upon them. That’s not all…Sprife

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.

Bloodstained Crosses Over With Kingdom Two Crowns April 28

Bloodstained Crosses Over With Kingdom Two Crowns April 28

Kingdom Two Crowns, currently available on PS4, Switch, XBox One and PC, is coming to mobile platforms on April 28. That same day, a brand-new update called Dead Lands will hit all versions of the game….and launch a crossover with Koji Igarashi’s Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night! You’re more likely to know what Bloodstained is than Kingdom Two Crowns, so allow me to explain: Kingdom is a strategy game, but a rather unique one. You’re the ruler of a medieval country, but you’re managing it on a 2D sidescrolling plane instead of overhead. This makes everything trickier, for you cannot be everywhere at once, even though you ride a fast horse. You keep your subjects healthy and happy by tossing them gold as you ride past them. At night is when the thieves come out looking for that gold, and you must defend the kingdom and keep its citizens safe. Whenever you’re not doing either, you can explore the forests nearby for artifacts that will help you. So here’s how

Release Date Set For Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night

Release Date Set For Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night

The reason we haven’t seen the Castlevania brand used for much these days, beyond retro compilations and Netflix anime, is because the series’ creator Koji Igarashi (known to his fans as “Iga”) no longer works for Konami, just as everyone else with talent has fled. That hasn’t stopped him from creating games, though. He may not own the brand, but the genre is free for anyone. Iga crowdfunded a spiritual successor back in 2015 called Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Now it’s about to be released — four years later. You might be wondering what could have taken Iga so long. Truth is, he had a build running smoothly, but when he put out a preview video, the negative reactions he got spurned him into making improvements. The latest trailer is entirely about this: You have to admire someone THIS dedicated to his craft. He’s probably also trying to actively avoid what happened to his colleague Keiji Inafune and the Mega Man clone Mighty No. 9. Can’t blame him. This

Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon Getting Physical Edition

Everyone’s eagerly awaiting Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, the upcoming return to Gothic castles from the man who put the “vania” into Metroidvania, Koji Igarashi. However we already got a taste of the game, in a manner of speaking: last year Iga released a spinoff, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, that was rendered entirely in old-school 8-bit style. There will be a physical release for Ritual of the Night. But Curse of the Moon seemed doomed to digital damnation, until Limited Run stepped in. Today they announced a limited physical release for Curse of the Moon would be available starting March 15! The release will be for Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch and PS Vita (yes, the Vita just ceased production….but Limited Run has a limited number of Vita releases left, and no one knows what the final one will be). The Switch version will be an open preorder, but the Sony versions require you to be at the computer at a specific time (9 AM or 6 PM EST, usually).

2015 Kickstarter Bloodstained Only 20 To 30 Percent Complete

2015 Kickstarter Bloodstained Only 20 To 30 Percent Complete

, , , 0

The past few years have seen various Kickstarter projects become muddied with delays and even cancellations. Koji Igarashi’s Bloodstained seems to be suffering the same fate as the developer has confirmed the game is only “20 to 30 percent complete” after almost two years of development since the end of the successful crowdfunding campaign. This puts a planned 2018 release under doubt. The Japanese developer is aware of the delays and revealed in an interview with Famitsu that he needs to “speed up development” over the coming months if he is to make the target release date. Part of the lack of progress can be explained from the fact that Bloodstained was being developed for the Wii U but changed to focus on the Switch in the last few months as the old Nintendo platform would have been obsolete by the time the game launched.

Bloodstained Hits Vita Stretch Goal, Passes 3.5 Million Dollars Raised

Bloodstained, the game to be made by Koji Igarashi (creator of the Castlevania series), has already done a great deal in regards to its Kickstarter project. With a little over four days to go, the project has raised over $3.6 million dollars, and it’s still rising. Just for the record? The original goal was only $500,000. Now, via an update, the team reveals that Bloodstained will now be coming to Vita: “Once again, the Bloodstained backers have not failed us,” states the most recent Kickstarter update. “We have hit the PS Vita stretch goal!” But what can one expect from Bloodstained PS Vita version? Well: Music Export – We thought it would be awesome to be able to export the game’s music to the Vita’s music library. So we’re going to do that. PS4 Cross Save Support – Obviously, we’ll need to work with the PS4 dev team on this, but we’ve done cross save before and we’d love to do it again. Touch Screen Support – Remember how we mentioned drawing on

Castlevania Creator Successfully Kickstarts Bloodstained

Castlevania Creator Successfully Kickstarts Bloodstained

Former Castlevania developer Koji Igarashi, creator of what’s regarded as the best Castlevania game of all time (Symphony of the Night), has been forced to strike out on his own, but he should be okay. He’s developing a new, Castlevania-like Gothic platformer called Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night for PC, PS4 and XBox One (Wii U would require making two versions of the game, Iga claims). The game has outside funding sources, but Iga wanted fan help to polish the title. He asked for $500,000 and got it all in four hours. Igarashi, if you don’t know, was responsible for every good game in the Castlevania series. Konami will continue with the Castlevania brand, but it has had trouble in the past putting out good content Igarashi was not behind, and it definitely will have more trouble in the future. There has been a rash of these lately, due to the recent ugly trend of behemoth AAA publishers (especially in Japan) unceremoniously firing the talent that made them famous, for unexplained
