@feigninghappiness :3 It's even funnier when you know that 'Zangetsu' litteraly mean 'blade which cut the Moon' Edit about my terrible translation. Zangetsu just mean 'able to cut the moon', which also mean that the title 'that man, Zangetsu', is a god damn word play between languages.
Some of those bosses even have alternate finishers when you strike them during their desperation attacks. I know the Dragon and Train both have them and it can be done with both Zangetsu and Dominique
@Toledo you get "points" for defeating bosses. If the bar on the top right is at least half full you will probably get a 1up. Otherwise you just get a lot of bar filled. Probably enough to get a 1up quickly in the next stage.
Kev Walthall oh my god THANK YOU!! I was wondering what the lore for Sariel was. Do you by any chance know if their also in the Key of Solomon, cause a lot of the enemies and bosses in these games are there too
You're comment is wrong, the EXACT reason was that CotM got a sequel was because of a kickstarter goal reached. Idk if RotN 2 got its goal reached, but this game certainly did.
The first stage boss? Yes, that got unexpectedly way more challenging on ep 2 onwards. Especially for the OG team in ep Extra/3 where you don't have Hachi to power thru the flames with invincibility.
can't find the inspiration for lubius (aprt from the generic succubus concept). vepar is the 42d demon of the goetia and is aquatic. tithankhamon is obvious (thutankhamon) gremory is from a past game and is a goetia demon too First final boss is either Beelzebub or abaddon mephisto is obviously mephistopheles from faust sariel (aka saraquiel) was the leader of the angels who felt lust towards human women. He also taught men about how to predict the curse of the moon (ie the lunar calendar)
First final boss is likely Beelzebub. Those look a lot more like flies than locusts to me; plus he's holding the skulls of a man, a cat and a frog which would link him to Bael (Beelzebub/Bael is a demonization of the semetic god Baal Hadad). There's also the fact that simply lifting Castelvania's imagining of Abbadon would be legally questionable at best.
As I watched this, the amount of times I said “Oh THATS how you dodge that attack” was, let’s just say a lot. Also: Hot take? This game has my least favorite Gremory Fight in any of the games.
Oh snap if our master Iga wants to make us remember those bosses from Order of Eclesia, Portrait of Ruin and Dawn of Sorrow but even more badass and epic he did it really good, and Jesus the Abaddon's Igavolution was epic
So I have a couple of questions even though this is a video game. 1) How did they get to the moon when from my understanding, Hachi is the only one that can be inside the mech since it was made for his size. 2) How are they breathing on the moon without space suits. 3) How did they light up a campfire while being on the moon. 4) How does a single man manage to cut up the moon in half.
1) They build a spaceship to the moon that look similar to hachi mecha suit. It was pretty big in the final episode of the game. 2) videogame logic. 3) videogame logicv2 or they brought some with them. Hell, there shouldn't be any fire on the moon because there's no oxygen on the moon... 4) anime logic. Also zangetsu does stand for "moon cutting" in japanese, so that's a thing.
1) they built similar mecha suit as hachi's. 2) alfred was the one behind this (its all about alchemy). 3) its alchemist fire, even lit under water. 4) everyone can cut moon if it in their device. I can even touch the moon from my smartphone. (Sorry have no idea, how he cut moon, but if he cut the earth, i know the way)
When i saw that it was a Bloodstained game i dismissed it, i wrote it off as just more waifu monster girls for bosses. But this one surprised me at the honest good design for the monsters.
Agreed, I like the CotM games more. The gameplay is more challenging but more rewarding in my opinion. Ritual of the Night is more about exploring, leveling up and becoming stronger
Titankhamun(second version) was insanely hard for me. It's the only time in the game where I had to switch to casual mode to beat it because when you die the checkpoint is too far and you have to lose 10mins to get back here and have another try. Also, I got too many game overs on this boss alone.
Ok, this game looks super cool like the first one, great video man, and I also prefer this over Ritual of the Night Now, let me point out a few things (I'm not criticizing the game, I just have nothing better to do, so here I go): 1st: Gremory's final attack is a refference to Majora's Mask, I'm almost certain of it 2nd: Ep1's final boss (2nd form) looks like a fusion betwen the final bosses from Metal Slug 5 and 6 3rd: Sariel looks like a fusion betwen many Castlevania bosses (and Moon Lord from Terraria) 4th: Damn Zangetsu, you didn't piss on the Moon but I'm pretty sure that Eggman would be proud... Or pissed And 5th: This game is Bootyful, definitely an Upgrade in comparison with the first one
Sariel, thought has inpiration on bosses from other games, i thing has a clear take on "paganism", their representation being somewhat similar to a moon god/ess, though more twisted. The moon was one of the "demonized" objects by cristianity (and judaism, and well, the islam), given that it was one of the most important forces in spiritual and practical senses to the people of ancient times (it tecnically is still a important thing for practical uses, but we ignore it as always). dependeing on what you take to see it, it can also be based in Sariel, the judaic angel. Or maybe it is a mix of the two, since the halo points more to Sariel, but the iconography and general disposition is otherways more paganic-looking.
I don't know, dude, but first part was so... Dark. Like you, i'm not criticizing second part, but Hachi makes this a little bit funny, but not darker) And also these scenes on world-map, where heroes... Taking bath, sleeping, laughing... First part was darker. I love it so much. I'll repeat. I'm not criticizing this game, I realy like it! Just told about my thoughts. For example 2-nd part is realy harder than first. For me)
@@ostapolkhovskyi3427 I liked these cutscenes, it adds some ""charisma'" to the characters, like they're not there just to fill a ""hole"" like in the first one, in resume: They're cool, but not this cool
@@felps_4500 Im not religious either, its just to point out it, also, japanese people like to use that kind of resources a LOT, be their traditions or ours. Also, the moon thing is not exactly religious in the modern sense.
The moon sliced to 2. Zangetsu: ooops! Sorry... Its kinda accident....gomen... Allies: wtf are u doing Z?!! Developer: who's the one that make this laughable ending?!
All of the bosses could easily pass as Bydo creatures (From the R-Type series lore, the Bydo are artificial organisms used for intergalactic colonization, but they became hostile and were sealed inside another dimension; this backfired even worse, because Bydo learned how to manipulate their cells and become all sorts of monsters).
How do you dodge Gremory's attack where she sends all those red thingies after you? Unlike the orbs she summons, the red thingies are all so unpredictable! Edit: Her hands telegraph the path!
It's a pity that in Ritual of the Night timeline, they all died, only Miriam survived! Hope they continue to make Ritual of the Night 2, that game is pretty amazing!
Holy hell its been a while since I've seen a gellot video And this is a amazing video to come back to, I also like how the bosses have a after death animation
Damn... he sliced the moon in half ... this will not be catastrophic for the earth ... (Movie "The Time Machine" or the Serie "Cowboy Bepop" showed you what might happen, if the moon gets nuked like that x.X)
The ending 3A freaked me out, nearly end up thinking he sliced a piece of the earth too lol. Definitelly prefer the route A, B route seems the most standard overall, but A route battle has that FF VI Kefka air about it.
If you use Hachi during the boss fight with the Gladiator Dozer, you can hit the Gladiator part to temporarily stun him from tossing fire coming down on you.
the game looks very conon, it gives the impression that it is 8 bit but the performance of the shogi, except for some obviously not reference effects, everything is super!
I felt all the Castlevania Bosses from the Curse of the Moon series: Aria of Sorrow, Dawn Of Sorrow, Order of Ecclesia, Portrait of Ruin, Symphony of the Night... Yeah I felt it again.. Thanks Igarashi -san for resparking the Flame of Castlevania.
And so the heroes looked upon the rescued earth free of the demon scourge when a sudden thought ran through their heads... HOW THE HELL ARE WE GONNA GET BACK HOME!!!???
@@eduardomagana3858 You obliviously have no idea how zero gravity or the vaccum of space works. Magic is the ONLY thing keeping them from floating off.
I wont consider splitting the moon in half but damn that was Incredibly Bad Ass, the whole team fighting and trying to get Zangetsu to the top and them chasing it together to finish the Job.
Am I the only one who noticed that the final boss has the same name as one of the two final bosses of the very first Touhou game ever? The fact that both have a somewhat similar color scheme and something of an angelic look to them certainly doesn't help.
I just tried searching for the boss. Learned about what you just said in doing so. This wasn’t the first time I’ve heard of Sariel though. I’ve learned it before from Shin Megami Tensei (Sariel is a demon there.)
I guess, although I feel like it can also be Abaddon because of how the boss reminds me of the Abaddon boss from Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow (the boss also used locusts.)
Likely. Looks more like flies than locusts to me, and the cat, human and toad heads are a motif of Bael/Beelzebub. It also seems like it would be pretty shifty to straight up lift Castelvania's version of Abbadon.
Is it possible to beat Gremory without taking damage and without using Hachi invincibility? She seems kinda unfair with the way you're expected to be in position to destroy projectiles while she simultaneously denies the area where you'd need to stand to attack them
Personally I can't wait to see some of these bosses in 3D... Although Mephisto is making me distrust Save Points right now- So if Ritual of the Night 2 reuses Save Points
Come on the episode one final boss has to be beelzebub, come on, king of flies, he looks like a bug, and plus the shadow swarm looks like a swarm of bugs.
After studying the video, I can tell that yes, there is ! Watch her arms ! Depending on whether she lifts, lowers them or stay still, the bugs follow a different path.
