There are parents who are sometimes harsh and make their children cry because they despise them, and there are parents who are sometimes harsh and make their children cry because they love them. This game is like the latter. "Impossible" was a term that came constantly in my mind, and yet there I was succeeding at doing the impossible, then later succeeding at doing the harder version of what I had called "impossible". The game is... long. Both in the sense that some stages drag for quite a bit (e.g. Stage 4) and with how many times you have to beat it to fully experience it. And I'm not saying like CotM1 distinction-without-a-difference achievements like "Kill a companion, spare another and-", here things really change and you have to beat it in order to unlock all the modes: Beat the game, now do it again with one less character and harder bosses, now do that again with base Zangetsu, now do that again with the cast from the first game (Essentially killing your previous strategies). When I finally go into Final Episode I thought "DAMN, THIS GAME IS OVERSTAYING IT'S WELCOME", but it actually wasn't so bad (Ah, and after it you'll need to do it again with solo ultimate Zangetsu... Turns out that you can still get power ups like that, but I didn't know that and went to Luna Secare with just a WP Up). I mean, it's Bloodstained. Ultimately, despite everything, it IS entertaining to play, but I do have some complaints about it: The "spirit of the game" feels a bit contradictory: I'm supposed to be constantly switching between characters in a fight, but the end result of tat is hat if one of mine dies during a boss fight, then all my other ones are also resource-exhausted and I might as well just hit "retry". "Battles of attrition" are so against you that often the game seems to make the better tactic simply to spam damage while you "iframe/tank specific attacks". While I did give the game more clarity by distinguishing lanterns that drop HP from those who drop WP, "which enemy attacks can be broken with hits and which can't" is still a mystery. It also failed a bit on the ludonarrative by trying to copy "Nightmare" from CotM 1: A mode without Zangetsu made sense because it's the character you start with and one you'll use a lot, one with even modes exclusive to him. Excluding Dominique, by comparison, means a lot less, especially because you'll rather NOT use her because of her squishyness, and rather just keep her on the back for her heals or revival skill. If losing her was supposed to be the "all right, no more training wheels" moment, then not having Hachi on episode EX does a way better job on that.
Don't expect a copy paste of the first game. It's pretty tough. A real throw back to the original Castlevania games. At least in terms of difficulty. The story isn't as coherent and easy to follow in one playthrough. Which is a shame since the first game's story and playthroughs mixed well. But just like the first one, it'll all make sense after multiple playthroughs. Something I enjoyed in the first game and look forward to. Switching characters is... alright. What bothers me the most about this mechanic is everyone has their weaknesses but when you are left with just one character for the whole stage, those weaknesses are emphasized. Is it manageable? Yes. Does it add to the difficulty? Yes. If specific characters abilities and strengths didn't feel situational (one character to be specific), maybe I wouldn't be harsh on it. The stages and bosses are well put together. The stages reward the player for surviving and noticing little shortcuts that make discovering the solution well worth it. The bosses are the toughest part about the whole game. It will take a while to recognize a pattern and once you do, it's a great feeling. They're more interactive than the first game too. It's worth picking this game if you like castlevania series and enjoy playing all of them. If you liked the first Curse of the Moon, you'll be in for a surprise. Runs easily on Steam Deck. Shocker.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is a fun game, but it may not be a game you actually complete. I'm going to tell you a story to illustrate why. Back in the bygone year of 2008 Capcom released Devil May Cry 4 and made the bold decision to make the game by building half a game and then making the player do it twice. It was not super well received because despite the deep gameplay and multiple characters going through the same level twice is kinda boring. This lesson was clearly not learned by Inti. This is a 2D Castlevania style platformer, so not wildly high in depth at the best of time and yet -despite this- in order to see everything you have to go through the game three (3!) times. Two of which are with the same set of characters sans one. That is ridiculous. Pick it up on sale and play it until you get bored, then either stop or download a save or something, because if you're anything like me playing through the same game 3 times will drain the goodwill right out of you.
