Oh hey, I was worried that it would be too easy, but on hard (via the NIGHTMARE code) it's actually QUITE challenging enough. Beating the first boss took me roughly the same amount of time it takes me to beat a Sekiro boss. That's even more than I have hoped.
But man is this game not designed for high level difficulty at fucking all. Enemy patterns are clearly aimed at you being able to take a whole bunch of hits, boss patterns are even more so. But the worst are the characters and the bland, derivative atmosphere to it all. I tried my best to like the stupid visual key slut but I just can't. The titty nun exorcist the murders all immersion for me. The cardboard castle looks dumb as fuck--did IGA even check the old Castlevania castle designs, holy shit? Cutscenes are way too fucking chatty. Man, this is not a bad game, but it's so fucking blaaaaaaaaaaaand.
How hard is the difficulty compared to curse of the moon? I'm currently playing it rn on the 3ds on nightmare mode after finishing it on veteran first playthrough. It's not really that hard tho, but it is fun
Jordan Wood
So there's a nude mod now? Also, yes hard is quite fun you're forced to buy potions and make food so you can manage, well at least I do, just beat Alfred that running old fag
I mean, check this out. There's nothing like this in Bloodstained. It's more challenging than SotN (thank god), but it's so fucking blaaaaand blaaaaaaand blaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.
What part of this is there nothing like? There are plenty of enemies reminiscent of that (like the giant dogs/cats). There is also a character who does that exact spell and looks exactly like that.
Bentley Cooper
It took a modder barely a day after release to make the game look 10 times better through a simple reshade
I didn't bother playing the Curse game so I can't tell, but in the main game if you name your save NIGHTMARE (all caps), you unlock Hard and Nightmare modes. I'm coming right off Sekiro and Hard is hard. Enemies kill you, bosses decimate you, healing items are very scarce, new locations are a threat. It's cool. EXCEPT that the game isn't designed with that in mind at all. For example, some enemies have attacks clearly designed to annoy rather than kill, but on Hard they kill you in 1-2 hits anyway. The first boss has this 75 hp attack from which you ahve to hide behind other enemies that spawn around, BUT the enemies can randomly shoot for 50+ hp, so it becomes msotly luck-based: you barely have time to position behind them, and if they decide to shoot, you are very likely to not have the time to react while still hiding from the boss's main vomit attack. The game CLEARLY expects you to be able to take jellyfish projectiles without dying. It's challenging, it's fun in its own silly way, but it's obviously, blatantly unintentional.
Similarly, I killed the fist boss, walked forward, watched the cutscene and the title, watched another cutscene, walked intot he first screen, died to a bat (everything hits very hard)... and lost all progress. I beat the boss again and everything, it's fine, but man was this "trap" so NOT intended by the developer. Clearly those bats simply weren't supposed to be able to kill me, or they would've been at least more obvious instead of dark on dark background.
But I'd be fine with this silliness were the whole thing not so horribly freaking bland, characters, aesthetic and everything. Ew.
Lucas Adams
That looks fucking terrible. The original looks way better. If you want to play like that, just crank up the saturation on your monitor, because that's all they did.
Alexander Edwards
>up the contrast >sharpen image >hurr durr looks so much better Reshade fags are cancer incarnate.
Ethan Adams
>There are plenty of enemies reminiscent of that Exactly, there are plenty of things reminiscent of other, superior things. The whole game is pretty cool, but I jsut can't shake the feeling that it's a poor man's version of everything. The poor man's version of the soul mechanic, the poor man's Shanoa is the protagonist, the premise is the poor man's "Maria in search of Richter", the castle is the poor man's Castlevania etc. etc. It's not bad, but derivative and often very generic (like the fucking nun, jesus fucking christ, I can't get over how bland she is, she's like a depiction of a purpsoefully generic NPC in an already generic isekai).
Ayden Perez
>The game CLEARLY expects you to be able to take jellyfish projectiles without dying. It's challenging, it's fun in its own silly way, but it's obviously, blatantly unintentional.
I get the feeling the devs assumed that nobody would play the harder difficulties on a fresh clean save file. They probably assumed that most people would tackle these difficulties on NG+ (which is what 99% of people probably do). But it does make the game miserable for those of us who want to start off fresh on the hardest difficulty.
Ethan Adams
>Why yes I love oversaturation how did you know?
Carter Howard
I think it looks much better, even though it's just some simple saturation/contrast adjustment. But the sharpening needs a tweak imo.
Ian Hall
>I get the feeling the devs assumed that nobody would play the harder difficulties on a fresh clean save file. That is obviously it, because Hard is locked behind the first full playthrough. I unlocked it via a code ("NIGHTMARE" as your save file name). I take full responsibility for not playing the game as intended and everything. But if I played it on Normal (which is brain-dead easy in all igavanias), I think I would've quite even earlier.
Nathaniel Hill
It's the same with Order of Ecclessia and Portrait of Ruin. Not defending them, to be clear, but it's something they've always done. If you played Order of Ecclessia on Hard difficulty and used the game's LV1 cap, you can tell that the devs didn't intend for you to enter the difficulty on a fresh file. There are certain rooms with medusa patterns that are nearly impossible to dodge and evade without a little bit of lucky. For that section, they just probably assumed that most players would come in from NG+ with one of the good shield glyphs to prevent the medusa heads from touching them.
That's just a more general problem with many game designers these days. So many of them clearly design higher difficulties without clearly playtesting any of it. They just simply tweak difficulty settings from a config file without seeing how it actually affects the difficulty. For example, you ever tried playing any of the Uncharted games on Brutal or Crushing? It's just pure luck trying to get through certain sections. They spent zero time actually testing the design of these higher difficulties.
Yeah, that's pretty much how igavanias always were. Lament of Innocence was like that too. The reason I was surprised is that people said that Hard difficulty was also very easy even on a clean file. I 1cc Cave shmups and I don't consider this easy on hard. But I would've plod on regardless if the game wasn't. so. bland.
I hear the game lasts about ten hours on Normal. I don't want to wait for ten hours before the game actually begins, which is why I always downlaoded saves for igavanias to play them on hard fromt he get go. Some of them are actually very fun on Hard. Bloodstained is just jankier than something like Dawn of Sorrow in general, unfortunately.
Christian Rivera
I played with a trainer so I didn't see a difference between difficulties
That's why we have Aradia. So mod her in already so we can lewd her!
William Russell
Why did they make it so that Rhava Valar is available from early on in the game?
Jack Cooper
>people posting PSAs telling people not to buy the Switch port because it has game breaking bugs and can drop to as low as 10fps with random crashing and save files bugs >only reason it was delayed was so the reviews of that version don't effect the overall games score
Lucas Bailey

Henry Cook
whats the nightmare code? Is it possible to play hardmode from the get go?

Kayden Mitchell
So you just enter NIGHTMARE as your character name?
Nathan Moore
when the fuck is Night of Revenge getting a translation
Nolan King
yes
Andrew Scott
When you create a new save, put NIGHTMARE as a name (all caps), and you will have unlocked Hard and Nightmare modes for that save right away. Hard is surprisingly challenging even for someone who's just beaten Sekiro and 1ccs arcade shmups as a hobby. Nightmare is that plus you're locked at level 1 forever.
I've been waiting aeons for it AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Joshua Lee
holy shit just turn sharpening post process effects on in your fucking display's osd if you're after that look that's real fucking garbo
Austin Baker
a reshade setting is hardly a mod dood, just download reshade yourself and adjust the colours and settings how you like.
Jose Wilson
I beat the game on nightmare. I think you're right to some extent. A couple bosses have patterns that force you to get hit, and they're clearly not designed for nightmare mode. While I enjoyed nightmare mode more than normal because it forces you to heavily rely on shards, I was rarely out-skilling rooms or bosses rather than just healing a bunch.
Anthony Miller
Just wait, nerd. Mod Miriam's game by making an Aradia model in the meantime.
Jeremiah Brown
Link the uncensored screen anyway plz
Michael Ross
I use reshade on every game, but that's fucking hideous man.
She's sitting in her apartment, wearing nothing but a button up blouse, playing Miriam's game. She'd stream it, but she was banned from Twitch for being too lewd.
I never understood the point of those giant wolves, all they do is stare at you for 5~10 seconds before doing a bite that does 1 damage. And they die in one hit.
Aaron Hall
She's not being lewd on purpose. Her casual wear is just 2hot4twitchmods. They'll never let her speedrun Bloodstained CotM on GDQ. She's banned.
Dylan Garcia
>game-breaking bugs & save file corruptions Whoops. I’m not gonna lie, I bought it only cause CotM’s on my Switch & I wanted the steelbook. If it’s really that bad, I guess I could always double-dip on PC. Or just hope 505 will patch the Switch version to unfuck some performance issues, r-right?
Is the steelbook at least nice? Really fucked up you could only get it with the switch ver
Cameron Ward
is Night of Revenge worth a download
Juan Lopez
Oh, that makes sense. Fuck twitch.
Chase Johnson
SotN was balanced in such a horrible way that everything died long before it could activate its patterns. Few enemies had time to fight back. And of course Alucard has so much health he can tank anything anyway. The rest of IGAvanias were like that too. That's why I wasn't even going to buy Bloodstained until I learned that there was a code. Too bad it makes the game's flaws kinda glaring, like elevated difficulty always does.
Gavin Powell
Who're you even talking about? What Aradia?
Isaiah Gutierrez
based OOOOOOOO poster
Kevin Harris
Miriam's girlfriend. Don't worry about it.
Caleb Collins
Oh yeah, real good art spread, feels nice to touch, comes with a space for the CD & Switch cart, as well as an instruction manual space, but they really don’t make those for games anymore. My PS4’s disc drive is broken, and I’m too lazy to back up my saves on a hard drive & get the thing fixed, so I won’t really get a big use out of the disc holder part, but if a soundtrack CD ever comes out, I could always use it for that. Really, I just bought it cause it was pretty & it makes me happy, that’s about it.
Stop. Illegal propaganda. How dare you hack Shanoa's phone!
Eli Sanders
>It's more challenging than SotN Not really
Jose Gonzalez
Is there any way to remove the cell shading?
Leo Green
Night of Revenge is canon to the Bloodstained universe. When Miriam said they still had demons to take care of elsewhere, they are going to go save Aradia.
save file and bugs will be patched most likely but the rest is up in the air The team is already upset they are being hit with memes making fun of their work on that version so maybe it will get better.
James Nguyen
is there a mod that removes backer portraits? those are distracting as fuck
A few bosses gave me a bit of trouble in Bloodstained which is more than I could say for SotN. SotN is probably one of the easiest Castlevania games honestly.
Jason Gomez
>When Miriam said they still had demons to take care of elsewhere, she's going off to fuck Aradia's witch pussy. ftfy
Hopefully soon. Find me the folder and I'll replace them all with more fitting images.
I'd say Vepar and Alfred were the only bosses I didn't steamroll. The rest die super fast and/or can't keep up with new abilities. The difference in difficulty between the games is negligible.
Kevin Gomez
Well that’s good enough for me. Would be nice if the fps got fixed up, but it’s not a dealbreaker for me, I’m used to it after 200+ hours of Yakuza Kiwami 2. Like said, if I’m really dissatisfied, I can always jump ship to the PC version.
Yes, I immediately switched to nightmare difficulty in Bloodstained after I started noticing what I came to call the "SotN effect" of: >See big menacing enemy >Hit they twice before they get to do anything >They die in a loud and spectacular way
Landon Diaz
That shit gave me eye cancer
Carson Williams
Imagine being balls deep in her crystal warm pussy and pumping a hot load inside of her. I bet Johannes did that too.
Gabriel Morgan
Igavanias will never be hard as long as you can heal in the pause menu. And you can carry a metric fuckton of potions and food in this game, plus money becomes trivial once you get a good farming setup.
Matthew Wood
is this an in-game screenshot?
Chase Morales
Git gud
Henry Evans
Is there a mod that sends a black guy to face fuck all of the retarded faggots shilling their shitty irrelevant porn game in This thread?
Yes, while you can only carry 9 of each potion at at time, you can also carry 9 of each type of food.
Igavanias can only be challenging through self-imposed challenges.

>I WILL FUCK YOU AND THE NIGHT! cannot find it, shit
Ryan Brown
Yeah, it should go without saying that you should NEVER heal during boss fights when playing a Castlevania game. You're ruining the experience for yourself. If you do, I got this pasta prepared for any of you reading this:
You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing.
You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.
Anthony Barnes
I really wish the challenge of Nightmare mode was no pausing with enemies nearby, not perma level 1. Or maybe both would be fine. Doing Nightmare now and I haven’t died once past the tutorial boss because I just stock up on potions and have just enough HP and resistances to avoid 1 shots.
reminder that if you didn't beat castlevania in an actual castle, you didn't beat the game
Adam Rivera
Graphics and art direction are awful, agreed. The whole game has the look of that shitty Rondo PSP demake. Bosses are sloppy too, also agreed but the game is still tons of fun. Hope they do a sequel and iron out the visual stuff because this could have been a classic.
Isaiah Morales
So, the game any good? Popular indie games tend to be overrated garbage, I need genuine opinions.
>dude CRUSHED COLORS AND ABSURD SHARPENING lmao Fucking Reshade kids, man. And what's with that url, couldn't just leave it at /bloodstained/?
Levi Martin
I get what you're saying, it's nice to set goals for yourself but to say that using intended game mechanics is cheating sounds a little retarded.
Tyler Ortiz
It’s not really cheating when it’s an intended game mechanic, but it’s something Iga should have figured out was retarded a long time ago. If he wants to keep healing items in then give them a cooldown and/or a use animation.
Jack Hernandez
It's good. Rough around the edges but it doesn't feel like some slapdash indie shit.
Hunter Sanchez
>The rest of IGAvanias were like that too Eh, I disagree. Some were still easy sure, but SotN was still the worst offender of tap it three times and it dies. The later games at least got a bit more challenging. I think Dawn and Portrait had good difficulties. And OoE was actually pretty hard.
Josiah Gutierrez
As in buggy or unpolished?
Jeremiah Sullivan
Unpolished, shitty graphics and yea a bit buggy from what I've heard but I'm at 100% map and the only bugs I've found are visual stuff. If you liked SotN and the others you should definitely play it.
John Phillips
no user, "What is a man" scene from Castlevania parody
The cute demon horns were the best part about Miriam’s design but they’re the literal first thing you remove once you start the game, simply being the starter helmet. Why Iga, why?
Luis Anderson
>removing the horns for a helmet >not the blue hair band Genuine improvement to her design.
Aaron Adams
Kill the reshadeniggers Kill them all I'd like to see a mod that changes the thick outlines/general character lighting though, maybe that would make the artstyle more consistent. Although I'm not sure if it was done intentionally to have a clearer difference between backgrounds and actual characters.
Bentley Gray
The point being it’s just a swappable equipment, one that stays on your head for less than 1% of the game.
Anthony Perry
>Although I'm not sure if it was done intentionally to have a clearer difference between backgrounds and actual characters. It's already pretty difficult to tell the difference between foreground and background shit in this game. The dragon boss is easy as shit, but when going for the no-hit medal I noticed that his idly flapping wings that move up and down change whether they count as a hitbox or not based on how "up" they are. Also Bloodless's floating umbrellas can't decide whether they're in the background or not. I thought it was the angle they're pointing (up or down) but they can either hit or miss you either way.
Brayden Edwards
Any one figure out what is going on is the celeste room? With the chair clone and shit?
The original unironically looks better. Fuck off with your meme filter.
Hudson Fisher
You know this game is weird I was right about all the things I was complaining during development: Inconsistent art, bad level structure, ridiculous bosses, uninspired music...
And yet I put over 30 hours farming habilities and 100% everything. I... I dont really get it, how did IGA made a bad game fun?
People bitch about Skyrim with 100% valid complaints and some still put 1000 hours on it.
Caleb King
A couple of tracks at most. The rest is bland
Luke Barnes
Like fuck is it "great", but some tracks are pretty damn good, like Dominique's theme or the title theme. Definitely not the sad crap you've unfortunately posted though, obviously.
Kayden Reed
Is that Gremory's boss theme? Couldnt tell because the fight lasted less than 10 seconds
Andrew Taylor
It's great, it's just not as good as SotN which is fucking mind-blowing.
god you pc cucks and your shitty reshade mods are fucking awful
Colton Jenkins
>Enemy patterns are clearly aimed at you being able to take a whole bunch of hits This. Bosses (Particularity the humans) are unpredictable and don't telegraph anything but the really big attacks.

Jonathan Evans
Is there a mod to remove the tattoos from Miriam?
Brandon Jones
probably a low effort body model swap from senran kagura or some shit
Oliver Young
Ehh, I think boss medals covers that. If a game rewards you for not getting hit more than just getting through a fight, everyone naturally stops using healing items. Like how nobody even thinks about them in DMC.
Isaac Sanchez
tattoos are shit.

Reshade is a powerful and nice tool when you use it knowingly and sparingly, but these niggers just fucking max out saturation and be like LOOK I FIXED IT HIRE ME IGA They're probably playing on 10 year old washed-out displays. That's the only explanation for this blatant lack of taste and common sense I can think of
Robert Perry
Why would you make a plain, boring nude model instead of a skimpy outfit to keep things interesting?
Jack Moore
If it makes you feel better, the current mod seems to be a WIP to see if it’s possible to do well.

There's something very satisfying about witnessing the autism.
Why do I keep seeing retards spreading that the water laser on velar is rng on hard+ because of the squids shooting? Literally just wait a moment before jumping behind them, then hit them to stunlock them. Obviously this requires using the whip but that is by far your best option at this point.
it's not a spikebreaker, it's a full environment immutiy armor. It protects you from lava, swinging axes, guillotines, buzzsaws and the trash compactor things in the library. Would it need to break those as well?

Jonathan Bennett

Hopefully CotM gets a sequel but it's either SCV4 or Rondo where you play as Miriam with a whip. Maybe have the plot as a sequel to CotM or a prequel to Bloodstained 2 to fill the timegap.
Robert Jones

Eli Jenkins

William Hughes

Alexander Reed
Why is Aradia such a fucking degenerate? How dies her girlfriend tolerate such rampant sluttery?
I personally hope they keep 3D but work on perfecting the 2D look so it ends up more like an Arc Systems game or something.
3D gives us the customization options and shit and I'd hate to lose that. In the next game, each armor might change your look, that kind of thing. That's not really feasible with sprites.
Her breasts are the main selling point but her ass, hips, tummy, and thighs are hidden treasures.
David Murphy
>2.5D It's 3d. What are you talking about? 2.5D is the illusion of 3d objects with 2d graphics
Liam Baker
Not to the same extent, but ASW’s method is super labor intensive.
Michael Peterson
less intensive than spritework
Isaiah Morris
Speaking of music. Don't you think The Pinnacle sounds a lot like that one Bloodstained song. Listen to this starting around 10 seconds youtu.be/Nc48pbaBBzg?t=10
I think Fire Emblem Three Houses looks pretty amazing. It's going more for an anime look but I'd still be very happy with this aesthetic as an improvement in a sequel.
This is the GOG 1.04 version of the game. On MEGA once you exceed your free download limit you can just turn off you PC, come back in about five hours and continue downloading right where you left off, it's piss easy to do.

It's simple, really. The exploration and the loot are both excellent and rewarding. When combined they make for a game that just makes you want to see and play more and more. I pirated the game not expecting to want to put more than 1-2 hours into it just to see what the fuss is about, but I ended up spending about 30 hours myself 100%ing the map and autistically doing all the technique masteries and side quests.
Regardless of the game's MANY shortcomings, it's undeniable that it has this addictive quality thanks to the two things I mentioned above that it does way better than most games.
Brayden Sanders
I mean, it's the same composer. It's also Michiru Yamane in a game that's all about referencing previous Castlevania games.
Isaiah Cooper
That look way worse than the original. It's like the people who set the color saturation in MHW to 200%, turning some fine graphics into a mess of shitty colors clashing with the designs.

What are fun Castlevania games? SOTN isn't that great besides the visuals.
The DS-era games are all decent in their own way. I'm also a big fan of Circle of the Moon for GBA, the card system is fun.

Hell, the consensus in Japan was that even the reworked graphics were too saturated and bright, and the original environments that the West bitched about were better. desu, I agree with them. The new models were good, but the should have left the environments mostly alone.
It's a lot better than this game. Has some actual end game content and the combat mechanics are more interesting (weapons and spells take the same slots and you can dual wield them, e.g. 2 swords or a sword + a ray of death or whatever). The locations are a lot more varied (most of the game takes place outside of the castle) and the bosses are actually HARD. Although there's still quite a few ways to cheese the game, even early on, the light/dark glyph union 1 hit KO\s most bosses.

One of my favorite games, lost back during my college days system and all. Probably stolen. Never got around to picking it back up.
We don't even have a physical games store (unless you want to count a walmart) anywhere near here anymore. The three gamestops that USED to be here destroyed the smaller locally owned game places and used game places. Then gamestop went out of business here.
Now the closest game shop is THREE hours away before any time spent up there, and the return trip.

Jackson Adams
The game, hentai or otherwise, is actually quite fun. The art itself is very good, it's the animations and clashing designs, likely due to budgetary issues, that hold it back visually. The actual fights get decently challenging further in, and there's good use of abilities to traverse environmental puzzles.
With a proper budget, sans the porn, I'd put money on it being considered a decently well received game beyond the ass end of the internet.

mostly combat sex, sex doesn't drain health, sex can happen as much as you want until you get up, all you need to do is get knocked over from taking some damage there are a couple of game over CGs, more are getting added along the way atm every animation and game over cg is available from the start in a gallery
Rape if you get knocked down, animated CGs on death but only vary per-area instead of per-enemy, and some npcs get raped and you can save them. Majority of the content is the knock down stuff. Like 40 animations at this point, each with several phases lasting a few minutes for each enemy.

Charles Richardson
>one that's two minutes before the loop Most are two minutes before the loop. The nuns is like 3.5 minutes.
It uses three methods. Environmental traps that results in different scenes, while the game still runs. Mobs can knock you down, if they grab you while prone resulting in scenes that again play out within the game itself. The third are scenes that result form your character being defeated, which result in scenes that play out. Bosses have the most complex scenes, but there do seem to be less common or hidden enemies with their own bits of flavor.
The character's clothing gets damaged. Some enemies are more prone to killing you than doing anything else. And sometimes the game purposely sets up 'sex puzzles' by combining mob types with quicker and slower tendencies to try and mate with you, forcing you to take on and maneuver/kill them to get their scenes which is in theme. Its somewhere between metroidvania and dark souls in gameplay, as deaths are simply a reset to a spawn point and a loss of your currencies for buying things/upgrading your character.
Sex scenes don't necessarily mean death, and the game even challenges you to find certain scenes, sometimes hiding them by front loading common sex scenes you've seen before.
Evan Perez
You don't?
Joseph Torres
The amount of delusion in those comments is incredible.
I consider it rape if she can't fight back. So any time she's out of health, it's rape. But any time she has health, you double tap any button to just walk out. So as far as I'm concerned, any sex while she has health is consensual.
Jayden Diaz
This was my biggest letdown so far. This boss was cool as shit in CotM but lackluster and kind of confusing in RotN.
Ritual is the better game and I adore it, just this specific boss was not great compared to its 2D counterpart.
Find a room with a lot of enemies in close proximity to the doorway so you can quick kill the room leave and respawn to do it again, I found this one room which spawns a horde of bats when you enter alongside a spear knight and I got all my familiars up to 80~ish in about 10 minutes. I found killing a dozen wimps a second is way better than killing one strong guy like the architect every 2 seconds or so.

I started on Hard as well, after the ship the difficulty evens out considerably and it becomes enjoyable. I was even able to face tank the Craftwork shard boss and the double jump boss by the time I ran into them. Getting decimated by the twin dragon boss as he opens up with a double flame thrower attack that hits multiple times for 100+ damage per tick and it's the first stumbling block I had.
James Jenkins
They didn't invent them. I blame them for popularizing it. Don't deny the womb tattoo explosion the resulted in both the general and adult scenes after Kuro got her tummy tattoo. For a good two months after that episode there was a mass deluge clogging up every feed and while they existed prior it was NEVER in that volume.

what the fuck do shard grades even do? i have spear expertise to rank 7 and i swear it does basically fucking nothing it says 'faster attacks' but it isnt changing shit - and its a shame its not damage because you can jump/backdash cancel attacks anyway. Shame.
So grade is the number of copies i have? Does that actually do anything?
Blake Garcia
HOW DO I BEAT THE BLOOD NIGGRESS?
Daniel Bailey
Max out by getting 9 copies of the shard and it becomes passive, so you can equip another shard and still have the former's effect.
Are the people who are saying this is uglier memeing or something? It genuinely looks better and I already liked the game's look. Even if you prefer the paler look the people acting like some color is the equivalent of rainbow vomit is utter insanity to me.
I see what you mean with it being derivative but I feel like this is exactly what they were going for and it's kinda what they needed, I feel like there was a demand to get one of these Castlevania like games out and actually get the production of these type of games going again, and in fulfilling these kind of generic and basic expectations that people have from a Castlevania game, they've lain a solid foundation to hopefully build a new generation of Igavanias on
Zachary Diaz
Pregnancy can be done well.
The key, in my opinion, after experiencing several games that involved impregnation, pregnancy and birth, is in the implementation.
First a bad example:
The game has you get pregnant in a scene, and then continues the scene to birth and then either puts you back before the scene, as if nothing happened, or has a very, very limited system like adoption (selling of especially rare kids for money) or an orphanage with so many beds or may allow a single pregnancy with a player run home. These are RPGs. None of them did it well in my opinion.
In contrast some action games have done it well, treating pregnancy as a debuff. Usually this involves parasitic or monster pregnancies, where if you get impregnated you've made the game harder. Perhaps your moves or movement are limited. This can actually be interesting in terms of challenge.
Now the road there splits again, because some have you carry for a short time, then give birth. These games often play an in game scen, that leaves you prone, until the monster/parasite is born. This also attached a recovery period making it easy for monsters, or even your own children, to have another go at you.
The other method I've scene is the long haul. Getting pregnant is a long term effect that makes the game more challenging, and one game even has a special, hidden, miniboss be the result of one of these pregnancies and births. The game put the character at half their current health after the birth, with debuffed movement and attacks, and challenges the player to win against their rapidly growing and mutation monster child... or experience a sex scene on death.
Leo Stewart
The best examples of game pregnancy I can think of are Parasite in City, Rain's Rave, and Creature Hunter. I recommend them all to analyze their mechanics, even if you don't want to jerk off.
Joshua Scott
It's rank that turns them into Skill Shards (the crafting) not Grade (multiple souls.)

Samuel Allen
peak homo
Jaxson Russell
you do you user, i understand pregnancy isnt something everyone likes in their porn
Ethan Anderson
None of these are the way to go though. Especially if you involve monsters. Tentacle/flesh pits are a good example where it's the long haul that makes it work, slowly breaking down the character's mental faculties and ramping up their arousal. These things make it an actual challenge to escape a situation, and if you involve pregnancy as a debuff, with birth as a challenge to be overcome you fluidly involved the sex and pregnancy and birth in with the gameplay of escaping without your mind/body betraying you.
Combine it with, say, RPG or sidescrolling gmaeplay. A Metroidvania approach would make sense here, but instead of managing health your managing your metal state, physical arousal and likely a stamina system for overcoming obstacles. Being swallowed into a flesh pit with the threat of being turned into a seed bed is a good way to handle traversal strange and dangerous environments metroidvania style, encountering different obstacles, environmental puzzles and creatures/tentacles that force you to make choices. One obvious choice is an upgrade system that gives you attack and mobility options, but at a sacrifice. Perhaps lowering your stamina pool, or breaking your mind a bit or making you more physically aroused. Some arousal and mind break could be temporary and heal over time, but these upgrades would cause permanent damage thus making the player choose. Giving multiple paths (with different drawbacks/dangers for different upgrades or even no upgrade paths) through the levels and out of the flesh pit would make these choices matter.
You'd then tie these paths and upgrades (or corruptions rather) into endings.
I'd also have an extra no resistance path where you take the character deeper and don't try to escape.
I'd have the obstacles be impregnators of some sort giving you a debuff untilt he creature is born, Then granting the upgrade on creature birth, but tying it to a miniboss battle.
Parasite City is a good example.
Gabriel Martinez
I prefer small ones, frankly
Kevin Allen
I think the best way you could implement impregnation into one of these games it to make it initially a de-buff, IE monster rapes you, you are now sick, sluggish, and more vulnerable, but if you manage allow that monster's child to gestate and you carry it to term you birth it you gain a shard-like ability. So like shards getting impregnated by the various monsters would have a collect them all appeal but you also have to make sure you don't get killed or lose the child from taking too much damage.
