Plot

The main protagonist of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is Zangetsu – a demon hunter who travels through the dark realm in order to reach the castle of the powerful fallen angel and to kill him. His task isn’t easy, but he isn’t alone in his pursuit – during the journey, he releases many warriors who might join him. Among them, there is Miriam (whose body shines because of hundreds of crystal shards), an old alchemist Alfred, and Gebel, a young man who hates humans and alchemists. It is worth mentioning that the outcome and ending of the story depend on the choices made by the player.

The main pros of the game

  • Nostalgic Appeal: The game is a love letter to classic Castlevania titles, particularly Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, capturing the retro aesthetic and gameplay style effectively.
  • Tight Gameplay: Players praise the responsive and snappy controls, making for a satisfying platforming experience.
  • Character Variety: The ability to switch between four unique characters, each with their own health bar and abilities, adds depth and strategic options to gameplay.
  • Varied Level Design: The levels are well-designed with branching paths that encourage exploration and replayability, leading to different endings based on character choices.
  • Accessibility Features: The game includes a casual mode that reduces difficulty, making it more accessible for newcomers while still offering a challenging experience for veterans.
  • Visuals and Soundtrack: The pixel art is highly praised, along with a catchy chiptune soundtrack that enhances the retro atmosphere.

The main cons of the game

  • Short Length: Many players note that the game can be completed in a short amount of time (2-3 hours), which may feel insufficient for some.
  • Difficulty Balance: Some reviews mention that the game can be too easy, particularly in casual mode, while veteran mode may be overly challenging for others, suggesting a lack of a balanced difficulty setting.
  • Control Issues: There are complaints about clunky controls, particularly regarding jump mechanics and character movement, which can lead to frustration during platforming sections.
  • Character Utility: Some characters, like Alfred, are seen as less useful compared to others, leading to a feeling of imbalance in character effectiveness.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Additional Difficulty Modes: Players express a desire for an intermediate difficulty setting that balances the casual and veteran modes more effectively.
  • Quality of Life Improvements: Some users feel the game lacks modern features that could enhance the experience, such as better controller support and more intuitive jump mechanics.
  • Expanded Content: There are suggestions for more varied routes and gameplay elements, especially in the Nightmare mode, which some feel could have been developed further to provide a richer experience.
  • Localization: A few reviews mentioned a lack of translations for non-English speakers, which could limit accessibility for some players.

Summary

  • Overall, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is well-received for its homage to classic platformers, but it also faces criticism regarding its length and some gameplay mechanics.
