Item Description

Long before Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night arrived, Koji Igarashi's Kickstarter backers were promised a bonus: an 8-bit style side game in the spirit of the classics that made his name. Inti Creates turned that stretch goal into Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, a love letter to Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse that plenty of players ended up treasuring as much as the main event.

You begin as Zangetsu, a demon-hunting swordsman bound by a curse, and as he storms a demon-infested castle he crosses paths with three potential allies: the whip-wielding Miriam, the alchemist Alfred with his powerful spells, and Gebel, who can turn into a bat and fly over obstacles no one else can pass. You can swap between recruited characters at any moment, and each has a different weapon, health pool and set of skills. A party member who falls is out of the fight, so keeping everyone alive becomes its own strategy, and the branching paths through each stage reward bringing the right character to the right route.

The twist is that you never have to recruit anyone. Zangetsu can walk away from his would-be companions, or cut them down and absorb their power for himself, and those choices decide which ending you see after facing the archdemon Gremory. Recruit everyone, clear the game, and Nightmare mode opens up with a very different final confrontation, while a boss rush and adjustable difficulty, including an option for unlimited lives, let you tune the challenge from old-school punishing to relaxed.

The pixel art and music nail the late-NES look and sound, but the recruit-or-kill structure gives it a replay pull its inspiration never had. A sequel, Curse of the Moon 2, followed in 2020 with three new companions. The Classic Edition is a physical Switch release of this first game, produced through Limited Run Games after its digital launch, and it is the way to put Zangetsu's debut on a shelf next to the 8-bit classics it honors.

About the game

“Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon” is packed with the retro charm that made the legendary 2D action games of the 80s so enjoyable. Take control of one of four characters that can be interchanged at any time during gameplay: The sword-swinging exorcist Zangetsu, the whip-wielding heroine Miriam, the magic using alchemist Alfred, and Gebel, who can turn into a bat and take to the skies. Finally, you can experience multiple endings depending on how you interact with the characters you meet. This project is the 8-bit style game promised as a stretch goal of the 2015 Kickstarter campaign for "Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night." Backers of the Kickstarter campaign are encouraged to check the Kickstarter page for updates.
