drahkon Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Urgh. I said earlier in this thread that Iga can take his time but holy smokes...20-30% complete? So definitely not a Q1 2018 release... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 8-bit version announced and is out this month! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Looks like some straight NES type castlevania there. Im out. I’m less than good at those old 8bit games that thrive on being unforgiving. I’m in for a SOTN style where I don’t have to pull my hair out playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Oh wow, that's a spiritual successor to Castlevania 3 on the NES Now that's a surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthenet Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Ha, that looks great. Total Castlevania III vibes will definitely be picking this up, the VO in that trailer is absolutely appalling though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahkon Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon (i.e. the 8-bit spin-off) is here. Well, at least for Steam. Console codes will be available soon. As I only asked for a PS4 code I got a temporary Steam code. Quote You’re receiving this temporary Steam key because your console code(s) are not yet available. The key is valid through June 8th 2018, after which point the key will no longer work and the game will be removed from your Steam Library. Please note that this temporary key may not show any new games in your Steam Library if you use it before the game is released. As I can wait for the console code: anybody interested in the Steam one? First come first serve. Post here and I'll PM you Edited May 24, 2018 by drahkon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killthenet Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 The release of Curse Of The Moon went completely under the radar for me, I'd been checking the 'Coming Soon' section regularly so I could add it to my watch list but because it never got added to that section it's release completely passed me by. Just downloaded it now, probably won't get around to playing it until next week but after working my way through the NES Castlevania's last year and just finishing Super Castlevania IV I'm totally down for some classic Castlevania action.

Nolan Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I’ve played some of it. No where near talented enough to not play on easy with infinite lives, but it definitely plays like a classic castlevania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) I never played the classic Castlevanias. I love Curse of the Moon, though I haven't fiished it yet. Got a Game Over somewhere, but A continue just lets you continue from the beginning of that stage, and to be honest, the game is pretty generous with lives. I stopped at the start of the last level, though I'm guessing that's not the end of it. Edited May 29, 2018 by Sméagol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Still waiting on my backer code for COTM (No, not the GBA game ) ... Don't really feel like playing the Steam version I got for free temporarily, I'm just gonna wait for my Switch code. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to play it first on the Switch as it looks amazing and I want to check out that HD Rumble as well. Ah well, I'll just play Ikaruga in the meantime... *checks eShop* ...when Nintendo flicks the switch (no not that one!) to release it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.C.G Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 That's a shame to hear but I'm not giving up hope, there's still time for it to be refined afterall. I'm backing this game, so I'm still all in for the Switch version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sofiz Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hopefully the gap for the Switch release is due to them fixing the frame rate issues. I'm getting a copy on Switch and PC, but I think I'll be playing the Switch version more often; to me, Metroidvanias mean comfy gaming. I actually really enjoyed the PC demo, and I saw all the criticism for how it looked but I assumed they'd just put a nice shader over it and call it a day. Didn't actually expect them to go this far, but I'm really impressed. My first thought upon seeing that trailer though was "oh no, how on earth will they run that on the switch?". After I played the demo on PC, I was actually a backer for Vita rather than the Switch, and I asked myself the same thing, I couldn't imagine it actually running very well. And then they pulled their Vita support. Thankfully since they're still going ahead with the Switch release, I can't see it running poorly, they'd catch a lot of flak if their only option for a handheld port was a mess. (Inb4 it only works properly when docked >< ) The bit I'm most excited for is crafting. Dawn of Sorrow's Weapon Synthesis was really fun, so I'm excited that this has an even deeper crafting system. And the different kinds of food you can collect, and that some equipment is actually visible on Miriam, and OUTFITS- ah, I should stop gushing now... Release day can't come soon enough 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
