Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Post by ShadowBladeX »

So Igarashi, former producer of the Castlevania series, brought out a new project...and it has smashed it goal on it's first day of being up. :XD:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ig ... escription
Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep 'em from gettin' their filthy claws on Earth. But, we stumbled onto somethin' they're so hot for, that they're scramblin' over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own personal anti-son-of-a-bitch machine, or a giant hoola hoop, we're not gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! - Sergeant Avery Johnson (Halo)

My favorite monster girls (Names for those whom I remember. Will update when I come up with more names.
Spoiler: show
Number one spot: Liandra Aria (Salamander)/Lady Ryong (Ryu)
Serena Drakemore(Elf)
Tiamat (Dragon)
Leona DeLocke (Dark Elf)
Victoria Degale(Alp)
Xentheria - Lilim
Elizabeth (Eliza) Fatima(Lizardman)
Witch
Nova (Ignis)
Akira (Werewolf)

Its castlevania! huzzahh...I donated some myself :P
If you think of me as nothing more than a mere wanderer...you are trully mistaken, because I can destroy the very fabric of your being with the power bestowed upon me.

Where there is a question there is an answer, where there is an option there is another, my path is mine alone to make.

Death? I have gotten used to it, for I cannot die...I come back every time.

HOLY NINTENDO HARD PLATFORMERS OF THE GOLDEN AGE!!

This is just too good to be true. :what!?:

First Inafune-sensei comes with MN9 and now IGA-sensei, one of the highest legends of the platformer world, brings us his new take on Castlevania, now WITH AN MG PROTAGONIST!?

As soon as I have 28$ I'll be donating, and if I don't get that much, I'll give the 5$ I have right now. IGA-sensei deserves every penny!!

EDIT: And just not I noticed Michiru Yamane's name there in the Epic Music Department. Yet another legend of the game world, and yet another reason to donate.

Since it seem obvious now that I won't be getting that extra cash, I put my meager 5$ there. It's the very least I can do, even if all I get is the right to say ''I Contributed!''...

Has anyone yet seen the E3 demo of Bloodstained? It's just so damn amazing!

Even if it's just one short (but exciting) level, you can feel the epicness oozing from every pixel of it; combining the best parts of both SotN and the ''Of Sorrow'' games, bringing a new and better ''Igavania'' game to the current generation with some damn amazing looks and combat mechanics.

But, better than my words on it, here is the mighty Jimquisitor playing his backer-exclusive copy of the demo. So thanks God for him (and thanks him for funding it).

EDIT: And yes, Shantae isn't the only upcoming KS-backed game with an oversized mermaid as first boss. Although theirs is waaaaay cuter....

One of my favorite parts of Castlevania, besides being a bad ass dude, was having monster girl companions (Sprite in SOTN and Harpy in DoS). I hope that feature returns, because then I'll be buying this. :)

Didn't Mighty No. 9 flop though?
To find him, you must forget the stories...

Forget the legends...

You have to do more than walk in his footsteps...

For he is more than the sum of his actions...

I tell you this, not because I trust you...

But because all our lives are at stake...

Because the seeds of our future... are sown in his past...

THis game looks very promising. Unlike a certain number 9 game. *wink* *wink*

My god Keiji Inafune's name will never be cleaned from this flop...

More likely we'll see Miriam (the protagonist) as a monstergirl. :D

The demo was a nice game to play, even if my computer is technically not compatible with a few issues of loading/freezing (small freezes that act like a scratched PS1 game) during the actual game. So far I've enjoyed these Kickstarted games, Shovel Knight, Undertale, Mighty Number 09 (yes I actually love it), and now Bloodstained (E3 Demo at least)

Once again, the time has come at (almost) last

And not a single mention of the Epic Store. Well done IGA-sensei, I knew I could trust you.

They did just today; Zangetsu confirmed so far. And there will be another, yet-not-announced playable character.

Very cool! Now I'm interested, the other main character didn't appeal to me.
