Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon 2 continues the 8-bit Castlevania platforming

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon

Battle with swords and whips in this retro-style action game brought to you by game creator Koji Igarashi and Inti Creates! Play as Zangetsu, a demon slayer bearing a deep grudge, who must travel through perilous lands to defeat a powerful demon lurking in a dark castle.

The makers of Bloodstained today announced their old school Castlevania-style adventures will continue with Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon 2. This is the follow-up to a small game they made as stretch goal for the Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night crowdfunding campaign. Where Ritual was all about Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night vibes, Curse called back to Castlevania’s early 8-bit days. I’ve heard good things, and evidently it’s popular enough for ArtPlay to make a sequel to a spin-off.
