Miriam teams up with Johannes, an ex-guild member, Dominique, an exorcist, and Zangetsu, an edgy, David Hayter-voiced samurai, as she attempts to take down Gebel. Miriam, however, mysteriously falls into a coma at a young age, and when she awakens at the beginning of the game’s story, she discovers that while she was asleep, Gebel was used by the alchemists to summon demons from hell, and now Gebel commands them from his ‘Hellhold’ castle. The two were subjected to experimentation with crystals called ‘shards’ and thus have become ‘Shardbinders’, allowing them to take advantage of the shards. In this regard, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night lives up to its namesake entirely.īloodstained centers around Miriam, an orphan taken in by an alchemist guild at a very young age alongside a boy named Gebel. Despite the enduring relevance of this genre, there is still nothing like Castlevania, especially the likes of Symphony of the Night. Terrific indie releases, such as Hollow Knight and Guacamelee, and even some higher budget releases, such as Xbox’s Ori and the Blind Forest and Nintendo’s Metroid revival with Metroid: Samus Returns, have helped to keep the genre from growing stale, which left me inevitably wanting one thing and one thing only from Bloodstained…more Castlevania.
#Myworld kickstarter the game creators series
Unlike the intent of other crowdfunding projects like Yooka-Laylee or Shenmue III, which intend to revive a certain series or genre of game, in this time of Castlevania’s absence, 2D Metroidvania titles are in no short supply. 9, and following the release of those titles, it was believed Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night may end up being an underwhelming release as well. The term ‘spiritual successor’ is one that crowdfunded titles have seemingly mangled when it comes to titles such as Playtonic’s Yooka-Laylee and the aforementioned Mighty No. One of the last remaining games to hit store shelves following the Kickstarter boom has finally released with ArtPlay’s Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, spearheaded by ex-Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi in an attempt to create a ‘spiritual successor’ to Konami’s highly important and influential series. 9 to smaller success stories, like Terrible Toybox’s Thimbleweed Park, it’s easy to get caught up in the failures of highly successful Kickstarter projects, but realistically, it seems that for every blunder there are just as many success stories, a likely result of the infancy of video game crowdfunding. From titles such as the infamous Mighty No. It has been interesting to watch the culmination of video game Kickstarter projects over the years.
