A very solid, short but sweet throwback to oldschool Castlevania games. It offers multiple endings, some replayability, bopping 8bit soundtrack and pixel artstyle. The level design is more on the linear side with occasional branching paths but boss fights are fun, there's a fair bit of challenge, and it captures the classic feel but with modern polish which keeps the gameplay loop satisfying throughout the short runtime. Definitely recommended for fans of retro action platformers.
---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☐ Good ☑ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS (Pixel classic-style so i think it's normal) ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Masterpiece ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't (Long before hollow knight and blasphemous existed, i think this was one of the pioneers in metroidvania 👑) ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf (No Song, just classic BGM like super mario bros bgm, pacman classic, etc) ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☑ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☑ Check if you can run Paint ☐ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer (Just under 20mb for full size, i you're gen Z you will be surprised ofc) ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 15% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data (I originally wanted to make it on a floppy disk but then realized that a floppy disk can't be more than 1.5mb😂) ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☑ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls (The platform is more cruel than its enemy attacks, but it's okay, sometimes feels challenging) ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding (Just follow the route by NPC and you will go to the next stage) ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☐ Good ☑ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life (Very very suprising, the bad ending, an alternate ending, or even a good ending, all of it still depressed🥀) ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☑ Short ☐ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond (Depending on patience and skill ofc) ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☐ Worth the price ☑ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money (Bundled with the second series, so i recommend buying during sale) ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☑ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10 NB : All ending is really really surprised me, one word to this game, UNDERRATED. If you loved mc with depressed end, i very recommend it I even dare to say that THIS game STORY can still COMPETE in 2026 with other metroid genres Much love for Inti Creates for making this masterpiece❤️❤️
Pretty cool semi-"8-bit" styled game. Do note that this is NOT "metroidvania", its very much old school Castlevania 1 or 3 on NES with set levels with maybe one or two branching paths. But there is NO backtracking or other metroidvania stuff. Game also comes with quality of life stuff like stairs not being jank and you can choose difficulty with more ways than one. Played with PS4 controller with no issues. For difficulty choices - If you hated, or liked, knockback from damage in Castlevania NES games you can choose to have it or not. This is also related to lives (+knockback) or "infinite continues" (+no knockback). - You can choose base difficulty from normal to "nightmare". - You can make 3 choices with characters (those seen on trailer); either make them join you and have them switchable OR kill to absord their power OR just walk past and not get either and make it harder for yourself even more. If you kill all characters your first character basically turns into Ryu from Ninja Gaiden NES games which is cool. First playthro with inf lives was around ~2 hours for me, which might sound short but its on level of most NES games of era. For example Castlevania NES games can be finished in 3-4 hours and some range from 1-2 hours. And again, this was with unlimited lives. With continues it would probably take way longer. This game has story-related "New Game+" mode, which I wont spoil, but its pretty much meant to be ran once again after first run, I'd say.
In terms of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon (CotM) being a spiritual successor to the classic, level-based Castlevania series of games, CotM is a big love letter to those who enjoyed classic Castlevanias on the NES. The biggest nod obviously being the multi-character system akin to Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse, but you are able to go it alone as the main character, Zangetsu, in a similar fashion to other classic Castlevanias. This game is much more forgiving than those older classics, with frequent health pick-ups and an unlimited continue system. As annoying and frustrating as it is to lose a required character for a power-up, it is simple enough to wipe your party to get them back and not lose much besides your current sub-weapons and sub-weapon ammo. Overall, CotM is a very short game with multiple endings if you want to experiment with your character choices, and definitely worth it if you like Castlevania.
