Many crowdfunded games turn out rather bad or at least not what they were promised to be but here we have one that seems WORTH the hype. Lets dig into the good, the bad, and the glitch of Bloodstained in my review!

#Bloodstained #RitualoftheNight #Ps4
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by ArtPlay, DICO and WayForward Technologies, and published by 505 Games. The game is led by former Castlevania series producer Koji Igarashi, and is considered a spiritual successor to the series. Bloodstained will be released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in June 2019. A retro-style companion game, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, was developed by Inti Creates and released in May 2018.
Igarashi conceived the game after his departure from Konami in 2014, prompted by numerous fan requests for him to make another Metroidvania-type game. He used the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter to demonstrate to potential funding agencies of the demand for the game in 2015, which successfully raised more than US$5.5 million from backers, making it the most funded video game crowdfunding campaign on the platform until it was surpassed by Shenmue III shortly after.

I backed this game and really wanted it to come out for the Vita too...The Milestone was reached, I backed the game...Then the announcement...Guess I'm gonna play it on the PC, but it sucks nonetheless. And while I understand the financials were not aligning with the budget needed, I would have preferred you didn't put the Vita version as milestone. If the money from the kickstarter and the subsequent PC/XBOX/PS4 sales was not enough to pay for the conversion, I would have preferred you didn't put it there in the first place.

“It was not by my hand that I'm once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wish to play the ultimate IGA-vania...” Trust me when I say: all the hype is real. This game is INSANE. Pure ‘vania PERFECTION. All hail Koji Igarashi!!! In my eyes, he is the game designer of the year - no, of the decade. AND the man of the century. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night TRULY is the spiritual successor to Castlevania. This game represents everything that was incredible about Symphony of the Night - and far, far more. Metroidvania turned up to ELEVEN. The legend continues. [flings wine glass aside] But enough talk. Bloodstained awaits... 🧛🏻‍♀️🦇😈

People were having to restart their entire game and were pretty upset because they'd already spent 6 or 7 hours on it and had to restart and lose all of their progress.

Funny thing about the bunny girl transformation: eating food for the first time gives you permanent stat boosts, some of which include mana regeneration. Eventually I had eaten enough food that my mana regenerated faster than the bunny girl mode drained it, so I could pretty much have it activated permanently. I'm now doing a new game+ run where I set out to do the entire run in bunny girl mode just for funsies. The fact this is even possible is just one of the many reasons I adore this game so much.

@the_empty_core 5 лет назад

There are some areas of disagreement I have with your review that could put off potential players, so I'd like to express them here: #1 The graphics are not anime. The art-style is derived from the old-school Japanese games this game is succeeding. It is essentially a 90's pseudo-gothic aesthetic brought up to modern standards. #2 I think you are overstating the issues with the 2.5D platform stages. They are in no-way difficult to anyone who has played this style of game before. If there is any criticism, one could say they are sometimes too simplistic.

hello there DreamcastGuy i always love your work man . im currently playing it ( gonna go for platinum ) , live streaming it when i play it in my free time as it's currently my main game to 100%. the castle reminds me of Dawn + aria of sorrow games . same for the demons abilities you collect , and i have that GOTTA GETCHEM ALL vibes again as i'm too a completionist . and yes this game is the heaviest grinding IGA game yet , but im sooooo happy he really gave us the fans what we wanted ....... UNLIKE ... ERHHMM inafune ( THE SHAME!! ). also i love Miriam as she reminds me of Shanoa my favorite from OoE . anyone who played SotN , GBA & DS trilogies will feel right at HOME SWEET GOTHIC HOME .

how long does this game play for? i.e. how long to beat it?

@roiitzkovich4545 5 лет назад

An actual GOOD kickstarter game and for a game that plays like Castlevania SoTN? Well, I guess it's time to buy it.

@Argol228 5 лет назад

battletech, Divinity original sin 1 and 2, Pillars of eternity, Undertale, Shovel knight, FTL

@roiitzkovich4545 5 лет назад

@@Argol228 They required less money for their kickstarters. RoTN had 6M dollars to be made. I like the game from the first 4 hours I spent on it but SoTH it ain't. I'm scared about Shenmue 3.

@Argol228 5 лет назад

@@roiitzkovich4545 the ammount of money means dick, Divinity original sin 1 and 2 and Pillars of eternity a large complex RPG, if anything, the fact that they managed to be good with less money is an even bigger statement of how good they are. Also SOTN is not the be all and end all of Castlevania, it's understandable to have a bias, but Bloodstained is closer to Order of eccelasia, which is better then SOTN IMO

@@Andy_Paris i believe it, but it is hard not to just buy it for my PS4, except I want the portability.

@jeremyroberts8822 5 лет назад

symmetricon1982 the switch almost always gets third party games late which drives me nuts sometimes so I feel your pain because I wanted to play this on switch as well but I’m not waiting for a version that will be inferior to every other version. I think for me personally from now on I’m only gonna get first party games that can only be played on the switch just because I’m sick of these third party releases being either inferior in terms of performance and resolution or costing more.

@jeremyroberts8822 5 лет назад

Deku na it’s all good man you didn’t sound like that at all. And to reply yea I know it’s obvious the switch versions will be inferior that’s why I’m saying I don’t see any point in buying the switch version of a third party game anymore. It just isn’t worth it when I can play a superior version of whatever game I’m looking at getting ya know what I mean? I’m really thinking of selling my switch because all though there are a lot of good first party games coming out in the second half of this year I’m not really interested in too many of them and haven’t played my switch much in general since 2019 started.

@jeremyroberts8822 5 лет назад

Deku see the portability was a big factor for me buying a switch in the first place as well but now over time I’ve realized that personally most of the places I go I never bring my switch with me anyways. As far as PS4 you should definitely invest in one man. There are so many exclusives for PS4 that are amazing. Sony has been on fire this generation. I play my Xbox quite a bit as well because of gamepass

Miriam could be playable in Super Smash Bros. A moveset I could think of is using a claymore for her Forward Smash and Forward Aerial, a rapier for her Forward Tilt, katana for her Side Special (working as a recovery tool when used in the air).

Go over to gamefaqs in the PS4 topic "Bloodstained comes out tomorrow.Did you pre-order?" i called this yesterday.DCG has a habit of rushing his reviews to YT sacrificing quality to be first.

@infernaltim 5 лет назад

I don't care when you called it. He posted about it a while ago that he had an opportunity to buy the game early and explained how he got it on the Spawn Cast. There's nothing wrong with his review including the fact that the developers asked him to hold off until he got the day 1 patch.

@theganjician9272 5 лет назад

This seems like a very rushed review. There is so many topics that you should have added into this review that you left out. Example: music. You did not touch on this at all. There are plenty of other things in reviews that you could have touched upon but, you left out. I like that you liked the game but, it just feels to me as tho you rushed this out to be one of the first to review it. I’m not hating or anything I just wish that you could have added more to it is all.

@davem.2580 5 лет назад

How long is the game? How many playable characters are there? Does it have new game plus? You spend time talking about upgrading and crafting weapons, then suddenly at the end you say there aren't enough ways to upgrade weapons? What? Do you think maybe that could use some explanation? This is not a good review. I will not watch your videos again.
