What it is
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is a retro-style action game from Inti Creates, created with game creator Koji Igarashi. You play as Zangetsu, a demon slayer traveling through dangerous lands to confront a powerful demon in a dark castle. Along the way, he can meet travelers who may join as playable characters.
Each recruit has unique abilities that can open different routes through the stages. Choosing whom to recruit also changes the game’s difficulty and may affect its ending. The game was the 8-bit-style title promised as a stretch goal for the 2015 Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Kickstarter campaign. Steam features include single-player, achievements, trading cards, partial controller support, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing. It is listed for Windows on Steam, with Microsoft Windows, PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo 3DS also listed as platforms.
