HOW IS IT PLEASE RESPOND

>Windows-only
so like 99% of all pc games?

yes, I have saved a lot of money thanks to this.

Fuck pc games ;)

Dunno user, the game comes out the 25th. Right now it's in beta testing.

Plays great and looks like shit.

I'm not gonna pay someone for the "privilege" of having to boot into winshit 10 to play their game and you're not going to make me. pirating is free anyways

So far, playable. Don't have anything positive or negative to say. If you need your castlevania fix or haven't played any of the games, go for it. If you want a further improvement over the formula, skip it.

Saving 99% of the money you would have spent on games is pretty good desu

The music fucking sucks, but fans doing like 16 bit/fm synths renditions make them sounds really cool. Fuck orchestrated music and people that like it.

I agree, I fucking hate the music in this game, been playing for an hour and already muted it. Hearing Miriam wail like a fat pig every time she swings a sword or gets hit doesn't help either. I didn't check for JP voice options yet, but if they exists i'm sure it's just as bad.

It is fun. Needs a little polish but so far it has a lot of content and it feels great to play.

A mix. I think Wayforward was mostly brought on later to do final polishing. The game design itself is mostly Iga's baby.

Really can you repeat the question?

Any word on how the seitch version holds up? I wanna play comfy.

This.

I'm getting the PS4 version, so I don't fucking know!

>playing on consoles

Zangetsu is a joke though, a longsword, mace, greatsword, gun, or whip can all hit him from outside of his attack range. When he jumps you just walk under him and he misses you. When he dashes away to counter you either don't hit him or hit him with a spell instead which lets you get more free hits in because he recoils. His attacks don't even change in the second phase, they just get flashier and do more damage.

Switchbabies don't know you can do that with literally anything.

why is miriam fighting zangetsu though? they are former travelling companions.. holy shit was there any POINT to curse of the moon?!

You are completely omitting his instant dash forward slash and uppercut that kills you for trying to jump over him. This is the first time I have ever hit a roadblock in a castlevania game.

>You are completely omitting his instant dash forward slash and uppercut that kills you for trying to jump over him.
I don't believe he ever used that move against me.

CotM isn't canon.

Nincels need to constantly lay down to do anything. Imagine one of them standing up to play a game for 10 minutes. They would fucking die.

I played up until a little after the first boss then had to head out. It's very SOTN so far, just not as pretty (though the graphics are alright). They did reduce the tiddies on the first boss though, I remember in one of the production videos they were huge.

This though, I don't know why but I had to drop my xbox controller and use my PS4 one after a few minutes.

>They did reduce the tiddies on the first boss though, I remember in one of the production videos they were huge.
Originally they were huge blobs, when they redesigned the boss they made them actually shaped like breasts including nipple bumps. Don't be retarded.

any difficulty options or are we stuck playing on piss easy normal mode for our first playthrough?

There's normal and hard modes, hard is locked unless you use NIGHTMARE as the save file name.

the only good igavania is order of ecclesia

Why are there no reviews?

CotM was an alternate reality

what about nightmare mode? or is "nightmare mode" just the cheat code to get hard available right away?

Couple question about the game
1. Food, do i need to eat something again? or is it permanent buff? or what the hell does it do? i think i am bit of brainlet or i didn't read properly.
2. Bloodshards. How much do i need to keep, and from what point should i sell them? Also, does getting all of them somehow influence game ending or is it just talk?
3. I got Brigandine through quest, and traded it in another, do i get brigandine somewhere else or am i stupid to sell it?
Otherwise, so farm, from the start, the game seems good
4. Are 8bit coins and 16 and 32 respectively are cheat weapons? I don't want to spend them then if it is yes

curse of the moon is just a "What if?" scenario, not canon at all

its mostly about zangetsu killing demons, other 3 are just there because videogames, you don't learn anything about anyone really

Wow that's gotta be a really old unsomnus drawing, That guy has improved allot since that drawing.

You seem to have missed the fact that CotM was changed from its original intention as a prequel to a non-canon alternate universe. They just ran wild with it and made a fun little game instead of setup for the main game.

When you master a certain weapons secret move that move is available for all weapons of that type.
Making weapons you wouldn't use normally now have a use.

I download this shit from Igg but it won't start at all.

You don't fix a shit game in 7 days. This is just fags paying to check for major game breaking bugs that might be fixed day one but unlikely.

Might unironically be the best metroidvania of all time. Will have to see more of the updates coming.

And none of these chucklefucks can prove me wrong.

Just pirate it and give it a shot.

Shills BTFO:

At this time, Bloodstained simply has too many bugs to recommend. In the first few minutes of the game I have seen issues with the audio, text presentation, and overall system stability on launching a new game (freezing and subsequent crashes).

Given that these issues happen as soon as you launch a new game and are obvious, I can only guess that there is a substantial amount of QA left to do on the game. Thus I would only purchase the game at this point if you are particularly interested in acting as an unpaid beta tester.

There may come a day when the game is stable enough, and when enough of the promised post release content is added, that the game justifies its price. Today is not that day.

>I was expecting to get the game soon, if not on release day, only to look online and hear that the Japanese release was delayed, and wondering why I didn't know before, found out after some digging that the announcement was hidden away at the bottom of what looked like a random fluff post on Kickstarter. Oh and the game has been delayed for us for, I quote "months": We don't even have a release date at this point. (Edit: Automaton Japan have asked the publisher and reported that they say it's been tentatively delayed to September, and this isn't even confirmed yet, it might be delayed even more! They also outright contradict the Kickstarter post saying that we WON'T get the download keys before the physical release)
>Because western distributors broke the street date on the game it's actually been in import stores over here for days, and people have played the NA version to find that Japanese language options are already fully implemented. Since the game is fully playable in any language regardless of region it would be nice if they just provided console backers a code for another region. I tried reaching out to the Fangamer. 505 Games and Bloodstained accounts on Twitter to ask if this would be possible and got no replies at all. To add insult to the injury, they have been and still are replying to plenty of other people all this time. If they're unwilling to give out console codes I wish they could at least have the basic common decency to just say so instead of straight up stonewalling me.

Having followed this game over the years since it was announced from a distance (knew about it and the game that it takes inspiration from, but didn't actively take too much notice of it), I have to say that I don't see the hype.

Its a typical metroidvania with some rpg elements like equipments stats. There is a crafting element to it too.

Presentation-wise, its good but not great. the animations look pretty cheap to me. If it was a £15 quid indie title, I'd forgive it no problem, but we're talking near AAA price here.

Some annoying technical issues too that I noticed. The conversation text boxes are bugged and more often than not result in words missing entirely. Example "what the alchemists did was reshuffle our bodies" had the word "was" missing. its not a typo or translative error either as after dying to the boss that followed that conversation, I was able to see it again and the text rendered correctly.

Another annoyance is the UE4 engine they chose to use. It (for me at least) resulted in frequent hitches both when entering new rooms and during camera angle changes in the cutscenes.

These are minor issues and should be easily fixed via patches, but as of right now, the game is a bit of a disappointment.

I know this is just nitpicking but a lot of the UI still looks like placeholder, it's like they designed stuff with the intention of replacing it later but never did. It just looks basic and soulless.

I've been attempting it for the last couple hours. It's fucking painfully hard. Harder than I found sekiro. There are extra enemies, they kill you in 2/3 hits and you can't even get xp or level up. Honestly it's too hard for a first playthrough, it pretty much forces you to skip difficult enemy setups.

I've taken to playing on hard mode now, which is just some extra dmg and health and enemy placements. It's a reasonable difficulty.

I suggest waiting cause Day 1 Patch isn't out yet and it's supposed to add those Wayforward graphics improvements, playable Zangetsu and some other shit.

OK I lied it's actually good

It's typical Kikestarter indieshit so they aren't even bothering.

Normal is already fully capable of raping your ass with ease. Sending him in on hard here is just asking for the game to break him.

i remember dat nigga.

i tried again, and again, AND again! i think like 20 times, and turns out the time i made it, i ended up doing it no damage, and got that special medal.

felt good man.

Devs said it's coming today but that may change. There's a Day 0 patch but more fixes and features are coming shortly.

Does the Switch version have a day one patch? For what?

The visuals really are the only serious complaint, aside from a few bugs (that i haven't run into) which will most likely be fixed pretty quickly. But man they really do hit like a gut punch sometimes, I really hope they do another visual clean up at some point.

Otherwise it does everything the other games did and often refines them. Everything is in nitpick territory like the music cuts out at some points, or issues that are simply a part of the series. And for all the MUH NO SOUL posting, this game is so fucking full of soul. So many little things happen throughout which they had no need to do but feel special. From the squeaky shoes, all the small familiar behaviours and even little background gags here and there.

I sure am glad I backed this game at $60 just to receive what everyone else can get at launch for $45. Or $35 if I don't want the backpack stuff.

so is she playable or not? I keep hearing conflicting information

this is what im gunning for the animations are sorta jank but the game is really fun a sequel with budget would prob do wonders

Just bought the game and currently downloading only to find out theres no day 1 patch.
When do they plan on releasing it?
I dont want to wait too long but it beats playing an unfinished game

Those are better than the og plus theyre still literally massive

Game: $40 ($35 for launch discount)
CotM: $10
Iga's Backpack: $10

You've lost at most $5. And for me, I got a physical PC copy and backer sleeve which are otherwise unavailable so I'm happy.

Fuck off.

The game wouldn’t have gotten made if people didn’t back it.

What they got done for a crowdfunded game is impressive, which gives me hope for the sequel. I expected jank with animations and environments considering it's their first attempt, but what they have gives me hope they'll do even better, especially given the attitude IGA has towards criticism. Great developer/director, and great game.

Normal, the way game was intended to be played

This may be a silly question but how is the story? Classic Symphony of the Night levels?

What a fucking retard, jump cancelling is a good thing and it leads to more damage and better maneuverability.

This. Playing on Hard is just making enemies into damage sponges and you into tissue paper for the opening of the game for no real benefit. Hard seems better for NG+ when you have stuff to even the odds.

You be broken by the end either way so why make the opening tedious?

I wondered what the deal is with curse of the moon since it's got 4 assholes who hate each other all in one team

Both the scarf and hair physics could use a tweak. Both act like a weight is attached to the bottom where they should instead have like Strider style physics where they follow your movements in a trail. It may or may not be realistic but it would LOOK a lot better.

Still, glad it's not completely static. That would certainly look worse.

Good point, also I just found out I get CotM too so now now I'm not as mad

Honestly, that's worth it alone

Would you reccomend this to a person new to this genre? How's the difficulty?

Basically you have the same general story beats as CotM, just that instead of starting as Zangetsu you start as Miriam and actually get to fight the other faggots as bosses.
Gemory is still the normal final boss.
There's still a Japanese Yokai Hell level with Zangetsu.
And the only truly new thing plotwise that isn't just filler is the addition of a true final boss and true ending Dominique is the villain and she summons Bhaal and they're the true final boss.

Curse of the Moon was so nice to look at. Why did they downgrade the graphics so much? It looks like shitty korean vaporware. This is like Nidhogg all over again.

Yes

Figured out how to dodge this attack and it's quite a load of bollocks, but near-mandatory for nightmare clean data.

The Seama she spits out prior to using her arena-wide water breath will block the water blasts, so you just gotta smack them a few times to keep them in place until the water passes over you

There's been plenty of KS games that delivered.
Not every KS game is Might Number 9

That's gotta be a bug. PS2's Emotion Engine could pull off hair physics.

Protip: You can cancel backdash recovery frame by crouching. By spamming both backdash and down at aprox. the same time you will travel way faster than walking. The timing is a bit tricky to do it consistently, though.

I wish there is a weapon similar to Sword of Dawn. The skeleton's favorite 2h sword. Summon hordes of Skeleton knights, mages and archers to decimate your foes.
Also that Marsil, where you can do a screen wide explosion as a special move.Then theres Heaven Sword 2x special.
I wish there are some weapons there with such gimmicks.

Yes. they are probably in a shithole. Like Russia.

It think it might be the first successful multi million dollar kickstarter. Those almost always fail.

The bitch herself literally says, and I quote, "God can rot." Her whole plan was to summon Bael specifically to have it consume God and anything like it. She was never actually a Church member, or even truly faithful.

I know there's a thrown sword type weapon I've seen. Don't know if it has any animu bullshit like the 2x Heaven Sword though.

shit, I forgot about that, thanks

is anyone playable on day 1 besides Miriam?

It doesn't, but it does give you an extra attack like jump cancelling does.

You'll get it naturally. It's required to even progress further.

I haven't tested it, but I can only assume it's like other Iga games, so no.

It's kind of a slow burn. It starts out kinda boring and crappy, but after you start finding some of the better weapons, the game starts to get really fun. The controls kinda feel clunky sometime, especially when you're trying to do some precise platforming to a chest. There have also been times when you can't seem to collect a drop, I have no idea why. I'd say with a couple more patches it'll be better than eh/good.

Play Aria of Sorrow, its GBA meaning its emulatable on a toaster and its my personal favorite.

so its based on the netflix castlevania?

thats a big no no for me

That somehow makes it even cuter.

Didn't they nerf this shit ? I played them ages ago and i remember canceling with attack to chain backdashs instead of crouch. On speedruns they also do the same to do insane DPS without moving an inch away from the boss. I imagine most people are aware of the attack cancel or shield cancel, but not crouching.

It doesn't, but you can cancel with it.
As in, Attack -> Backdash -> Attack in quick succession for effectively double hit.
Jump cancelling attacks is still more effective in my experience though.

Yes. Who knew that there could be nice things in Russia of all places?

Shovel Knight is once you find and equip his armor, it changes your moveset to his and is basically this game's equivalent of Axe Armor mode except it's an equippable item instead of a separate mode.
It overrides all your other cosmetic and attack item/shards.

I'd say you should at least play Aria and SotN. Bloodstained takes a lot from both

but what about ones that get a million dollar funding and promise to bring back a classic genre/franchise?

Attached: chrome_2019-06-18_17-47-57.png (762x363, 50K)

You could always cancel attacks with both backdash and jumping in IGA games but one of them was always more effective than the other though it varied by game.
In this one jump cancel seems more effective.
Crouch cancelling Backdash to basically moonwalk at insane speeds is also an ancient SotN bug that has been deliberately implemented here.

I tried to play on hard difficulty but while extra enemy placement is fine, at least in boat everything forces you to jump in one place whipping enemy asses for longer then on normal difficulty, so it’s feels the same but slower because you have to be more careful. I guess I will stick to normal for now, hope I won’t outlevel end game.

Can you confirm your game build is still 1.01? Hope it's up within the hour so it's ready when I get home.

Is this semi-auto crissaegrim a rare drop or do they really just give this thing away near the start of the game? Didn't notice when I picked it up, blows away the other weapons I've had so far though. It's called Rhava Bural.

That's a lot.
Can I really trust you?

The update is uploaded to Steam itself but Steam didn't push it on the public branch yet.
So the developer is technically right in saying that they uploaded it to Steam, it's just not publicly released yet.

It's against their spiritual beliefs or someshit.

I like how there's no mention of the patch even going to happen on consoles. What the fuck is going on? WHEN?

It's been said multiple times in the thread.

Carabosse on your first run. She points you on the direction of secrets.

And into the trash it goes.

I can confirm I haven't got any update. I'm sure it'll be here soon just like the pre-load.

what the FUCK happened to the cute beast hat?
