Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon

The best way I can describe the difficulty of this game is It doesn't reward you for being good, it punishes you for being bad. I don't feel like I can say more without sounding like I'm complaining that the game is "too hard," but that's all I got from the game after a while. When you make a mistake and lose a teammate, problems only snowball until you lose all four characters. With how drastically the difficulty can change just from losing one character, you may as well use Curse of the Moon and immediately reload to the start of the level. This is probably good for someone that enjoys the challenge, but I am not the target audience this time.

I'm having 2 Slices of the Moon.

Bloodstained 시리즈의 첫 번째 작품으로, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night의 후원 모금액 $4,500,000 달성 보상으로 제작된 스핀오프 게임. 악마성 시리즈의 세 번째 작품인 악마성 전설에 영감을 받아서 한 스테이지에 각각의 길이 존재하고, 동료의 영입 여부에 따라 엔딩이 달라지는 분기 시스템, 동료들 각각의 고유한 능력들을 완벽하게 구현했으며, 클래식 악마성 시리즈의 큰 진입 장벽인 피격 시 넉백 시스템은 난이도 설정으로 조절할 수 있는 등 난이도도 초보자, 숙련자 모두 만족시킬 수 있는 완벽함을 가짐. 다만, 서브 웨폰의 밸런스가 좋은 편이 아니라서 하드 난이도에 해당하는 나이트메어 모드도 알프레드의 냉동 마법, 미리암의 거대 도끼 조합으로 대부분의 보스를 쉽게 잡을 수 있고, 주인공인 참월의 기본 성능과 공격 사거리가 처참해서 체력 약해서 서브 웨폰 발사만 하는 알프레드 보다도 안 쓰게 되는 등 밸런스는 좀 아쉽지만, 고전 악마성 시리즈에 추억이 있다면, 나쁘지 않을 작품. 평점: ☆☆☆

Bloodstained Curse of the Moon... This game has a very interesting storyline, multiple endings, fun action, and the ability to make it almost impossible to beat (Ultimate mode on Veteran with no allies or ability upgrades). It had some very good graphics (caught myself staring at the backgrounds and NPCs many times). It had good music that really set the vibe for the game. This game feels even darker than some Castlevania titles with certain elements in the game, so not recommended for anyone who doesn't like gruesome horror themes (albeit pixel-form).

Nunca mais tinha jogado algo no estilo de Castlevania e pegar esse foi uma grata surpresa. Pense num jogo daorinha. É curto, tem mecânicas dos Castlevania clássicos e fases com múltiplos caminhos (o que é daora a primeira vista, mas depois que você zera uma vez você só escolhe seguir o caminho mais fácil). Os personagens são daora, os bosses também, uma pena que uns tem mais atenção do que outros. Zangetsu tem mais recursos do que o mano Alquimista, que tem NO MÁXIMO duas habilidades que servem de algo, enquanto o Zangetsu tem todos os recursos daora. Por isso, quando fizer o final verdadeiro e for rejogar mate o Alquimista e não se arrependa depois XD. Ótimo jogo, recomendo.

A really good game, i believe it is so objectivally, however I am extremely conflicted here. Music and art are absolutely amazing. Story and characters are fine, nothing crazy. Vibes are immaculate. And on the first playthtrough, the entire thing was shining. However every replay made me see more and more how much I dislike the style of game this is. I understand that it is retro, I understand it might be nostalgic. But for me, as someone who never lived to play those early games, combat and platforming are simply atrocious. Arguably worst I have seen, and I have played a wide array of platformers. The lack of control over the character is simply infuriating, Bosses are extremely good looking visually, plus with their respective arenas. And they are fine on first playthrough, but as you go, you really begin to see that some are just not made for the type of game it is. I won't spoil too much, but there are a couple of bosses which are extremely frustrating to fight, purely because they can fly out of range. If you're doing a run of all characters, you'll be fine. If you choose to do it with one character only...well, it won't be particularly fun. Ultimately, I think if someone is into that retro style of games, they will love it. I also enjoyed it for what it was, but I definitely cannot say I will be playing it more deeply, going through challenge runs, or replaying it on regular basis. Still definitely deserves a positive. If you love retro, I can definitely recommend!

Um jogo muito bom! Traz a formula de Castlevania antigo e é muito bem feito, gosto muito como o jogo não tem medo de te deixar extremamente forte, tem itens e coisas que você pode fazer que são bem roubados e o jogo foi feito com tudo isso em mente mesmo, muito bom!
