Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (Was "Like Igarashi? Like Castlevania? Then It is Time to Decide: Sword or Whip")

[Nz17]

It looks like Iga(rashi) is about to launch a 2D "Metroidvania" without Konami. (It seems like everybody who can is leaving Konami these days.) Right now, all that is known about it is at this "teaser" site located online at [ http://swordorwhip.com/ ]. Going by the art style of the Web site, this new game will feature art very similar to the PSX, GBA, & DS Castlevania games. More information is supposed to be available sometime next week.

What is this? a miserable pile of secrets!

I approve of this mass bleed of talent being unshackled from the dying beast that is Konami. Good for him.

I'll take more 2D Castlevania(ish)! Action/adventure games like that are many of my very favorite games, and he's made some excellent ones.

Only hours into the Kickstarter and already funded lol, looks like it is now reality.

And now at $880K already it ate up all their stretch goals beyond having Hayter (solid snake) voice for the game.

I see this one will have a physical and digital release. Very pleased seeing that indeed. PS4 or PC(steam)....tough call. Again another case of a good developer and a company gone bad, getting away to make something the consumer actually will enjoy and they'll enjoy making instead of more compromise and meh.

I picked up Curse of the Moon when it was released for Switch and got it free a few months later for XB1 through Games with Gold. It was fine for what it was. I prefer linear 'vania games so I've had no interest in Ritual.
