I suspect plenty of Castlevania-likers will be well up for more, of the first RotN and the eventual sequel. RPS’sBloodstained: Ritual Of The Night reviewpraises the slashing and whipping through its many varied environements.

“These different stylings also help make Bloodstained’s larger-than-life boss battles that much more memorable,” Alyse Stanley says. “Some of my favourites, like a huge coal-powered golem fought on a speeding train, or a two-headed dragon who terrorises you along a tower’s stairway, feel more like choreographed cutscenes than encounters. Some bosses became decidedly less lovely after the fifth or sixth attempt, but as far as required grinding goes, Bloodstained isn’t the worst offender I’ve come across.”

As for what’s yet to come in Ritual Of The Night, the developersposted a roadmaplast November letting on some of the things coming early in 2021. Classic Mode has made its way in, though a Chaos Mode and VS Mode are still presumably still on the way.

No word yet on when the sequel will arrive, but hey, it’s coming.
