Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 - REVIEW (Nintendo Switch) 

That literally happened to me too. They upload at the same time

And Cinemassacre

I think the 8-bit style is OK. I want them to do a sequel with RPG elements, like Castlevania II

@@piratesephiroth Bloodstained: Hachi's Quest

Good idea!

@@piratesephiroth That's basically just Ritual of the Night though.

32 bit. Sega Saturn 😎

Yeah, they are really good

so much so they have joined forces on many occasions. (Shantae is playable as DLC in Blaster master).

Inti also helped with the Shantae games, specifically Pirate's Curse and Half-Genie Hero.

How good is this game?

Why is the first one so expensive. It's$100 on ebay. So they have the part 2 as a cartridge?

@@lapd509509 because the games are made for the eshop and playstation store but a company called LIMITED RUN GAMES make a limited amount of physical copys and if you go on their website quickly and pre order then you will miss out and scalpers sell them for higher prices. I missed out on the first curse of the moon but I've pre orderd 2 copys of curse of the moon 2! They're only $30!! Dont miss out.

@@itadapeeza8559 So how many are there. 1 and 2 only ?

@@lapd509509 yeah the guy who made these games started with a metroidvania type game called bloodstained ritual of the night then made 2 8bit side games called curse of the moon and they are amazing.

@@itadapeeza8559 I'm trying to learn how to make these games,, i was using this online platform. But I'm not sure if it was the best one

I was worried about the price point but I haven’t even finished it yet and I feel like I’ve gotten my money’s worth

Respectable opinion. I do like old school Castlevania games but Metroidvania was more of my cup of tea. I always liked the RPG elements as well as cutscenes and more story, also it's a longer game. RotN execution was good but it had flaws and graphics don't matter too much but the graphics on it was weird.

A lot of people did

Interesting. I actually really enjoyed RotN by a unit of Terra times better.

@ They are both Bloodstained

RotN suffered from the console launch otherwise it’s good (on pc)

Saaaame. I played it a bit and just felt...cheap? Like a mobile game.

The story of an 8-bit game turned you off?

The first game was literally: "I kill demons but i need you NGL" And more including spoilers.

@@fissilewhistle Have you seen Axiom Verge, Shovel Knight etc. 8-bit games can still have interesting stories.

CashCow Whiz Sure, but if you’re playing an 8-bit game, you damn sure aren’t doing it for the story.

@@derralgerken Makes me question why 18 idiots gave this a thumps up.

characters are random. You got unlucky. You can easily start the episode and have Gebel on Lvl 1 and Hachi on lvl 3

Nintendon't

Did you grab that one sacred sword thingamajig? I'm assuming having it *or not* dictates what ending and episode you get.

@@VonFirflirch I was thinking that, I'll give it a go without it next time. Thanks!

ah, you know him, The man who lost his subscribers to will smith

Really this whole sequel is about swapping to the corgi in a mech

No

Someone suggested the next game should be 16-bit or even 32-bit. That would be incredible.

@@jacobmonks3722 that's a great idea.

That's Inti Creates for you.

That’s on the trailer

I'd advise picking it up. Casual mode gives infinite lives and removes knockback if you want an easier time of it.

@@GoldenSunAlex Wow, completely forgot about commenting this haha. Since the video, I’ve pick up the physical copy from Limited Run Games!

@@justintime3520 The original or the sequel? And how did you find it?

@@GoldenSunAlex No, just the sequel. I got it when it was originally on sale. Would like to get the original if I see it for a decent price physically.

@@justintime3520 Not sure the original ever got a physical release.

If Sonic Heros was good.

Not really, the issue is having a poor choice of characters and having to revisit stages you already completed to look for power ups. These levels are quite long as well

It's so expensive because they didn't release alot of them I'm guessing

Ritual is way better than curse.

I know he's supposed to be bald but now I can't unsee

I enjoyed RoTN better

It is basically a classic Castlevania reboot, but the games are more fun to play. Konami can eat our collective asses.

Slightly In-Depth Gaming nah honestly ritual of the knight is best

I definitely put way more time into Ritual of the Night, but I'm willing to bet that's only because I got Curse of the Moon on Steam and I generally just don't like playing games on my laptop.

I hate small disabled men.

It got revealed like a month ago

I know another example to improve Episode 3, add a New Game Plus. This way, when going from one episode to the next, you keep the power-ups you obtained from previous episode thus also cutting the backtracking.

Thirdly, NO RANDOM FACTOR OF A PARTNER CHARACTER LOCATION! BECAUSE WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA!? PIECE OF SHIT AS IT LEAVES THE FIRST 30 MINUTES A NIGHTMARE! SHOULD'VE KEEP ALL THE CHARACTERS AT THE START IN THE FIRST PLACE! THAT RNG MECHANICS OF THE PARTNER LOCATION IS SO FUCKING LAME AND EASILY THE WORST PART OF THE GAME WHICH IS THE TRUE MAJOR REASON WHY EPISODE 3 WAS A MISERABLE DISAPPOINTMENT THUS THE CONTRIBUTING REASON OF WHY THE ORIGINAL WAS BETTER!

Forthly, ADD MORE DETAILS OF THE STAGE'S MAP NOT JUST TO KNOW THE LOCATION OF POWER-UPS, BUT ALSO TO SHOW WHICH CHARACTERS THAT'S BEST FOR THAT SITUATION WHETHER IT'S ALTERNATE PATHS OR THEIR CERTAIN ABILITIES NEEDED TO GET SAID POWER-UPS! DID INTICREATES NOT LEARN A FUCKING LESSON FROM THE CONTROVERSY OF CAPCOM'S MEGA MAN X3 & MEGA MAN X5, OR SEGA'S SONIC HEROES!? DID THEY NOT DO THE HOMEWORK OF PAST MISTAKES IN GAME DESIGN CAREFULLY!? HUH!? READ MY COMPLAINT, KOJI IGARASHI & INTICREATES! WE DEMAND AN UPDATE TO FIX WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE FINAL EPISODE! WITHOUT OUR SUGGESTION TO FIX EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THE FINAL EPISODE, THIS EPISODE WAS EASILY THE WORST PART OF THE OTHERWISE SOLID SEQUEL!

Bad news for ya, Gamexplain. Version 1.3.0 has been released adding "Legend" Difficulty Mode with even more dickish enemy placement now respawns after offscreen, hit more harder, and there's a time limit. As if Veteran Mode was difficult enough, Inticreates making our life even worst.

You're right, I'm throwing my tablet in the trashcan.

I mean, he did warn you to skip

Except this game is a multi playthrough to do everything and get every ending and use all the characters, so that couldn't be further from the truth when it takes a minimum of 4 playthroughs to complete it....and it's not trying to duplicate sotn....its meant to replicate the 8 bit castlevania games, which it does incredibly. Dont play these type of games if you are tired of them. I'm tired of huge open world games with 7000 different markers on the map wanting me to go fetch a special colored rock and a shoestring for someone, or some other random bs, so I just dont play those types of games. People will always love these 8 bit retro games. Too many people grew up with them to be any other way, so you might want to get use to it, just like I know some people love the open world fetchquest heavy games, and that wont change just because I'm tired of them and dont find getting some old ladies frying pan back particularly fun.

Casual mode is exactly there to get those who don't want a challenge into the game, you could have played that instead of immediately dismissing the whole thing.

@@MrMrFreddy ^^ I second this. It's literally why casual mode exists. Not only that, but it's pretty clear gamers don't want to actually be "challenged". . . Rather, people just want their own personal feeling of almost being pushed to the edge and feeling like they overcame something, rather than actually improving and actually overcoming something. Not everyone is or has to be great at a genre / game, but nothing about Curse of the Moon, especially on standard difficulty settings, is all that hard. Seems pretty par for the course, but to each their own.
