About this game

The indie hit from ArtPlay, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, is here in its metroidvania glory.

Explore The Castle

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a side-scroller RPG adventure that takes players on an exploration-focused journey. Players assume the role of Miriam, an orphan cursed by an alchemist's spell and slowly being crystallised. In order to save humanity, she must battle her way through a demon-infested castle from her past. The game features stunning 2.5D graphics and an all-star voice cast including David Hayter, Ray Chase, Erica Lindbeck and more. Developed by ArtPlay with a story crafted in the gothic dark fantasy style of Koji Igarashi, this game promises to be an exciting entry into the Igavania genre with post-launch updates for fans to enjoy.

Players explore Gebel’s castle as Miriam fights their way through demons in order to save humanity from destruction. With addictingly tight gameplay mechanics alongside a compelling narrative crafted by Igavania’s godfather Koji Igarashi himself, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is sure to captivate gamers with hours upon hours of exciting action-packed entertainment on their Steam PC key purchase. Post-launch announcements and updates will keep fans engaged even after their initial journey has been completed.

This game sucks omg. Firstly just resolution issues, performance issues & needing to restart to get res changes. Secondly the game and it's mechanics just feel terrible, flat & boring. So many other games in this genre that are much better, feel better and look better. Oh, yeh the game also looks like shit on maxed out setting >:/ Not worth it at $70 and still not worth it at $12-15 in a bundle deal.

A call-back to the metroidvanias like Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, it takes notes from that game but without feeling like something you've seen before with a fresh lick of paint. Controls are tight and combat and exploring are fun. Definitely recommend to fans of the genre.

Kept bringing me back to playing SOTN in my younger days, two trophies away from platinuming it, got it to play in my Steam Deck and have had zero issues truly a wonderful game.
