Reviews
Short action platform much like the NES Castlevania games. A lot of fun to just run through, with multiple endings and ways to play.
A fair amount of years ago I bought Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night on PS4 and I had a blast playing it, and the edition I bought included the retro Curse of the Moon duology as bonus content, so I played them too and I remember I beat both of them and had a ton of fun with them. I eventually bought the three games for pennies on the dollar during some sale here on Steam, and I decided to replay the retro games as palate cleansers between other more complex/longer games. This one is short and sweet. It's basically a love letter to Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, which was my favorite Castlevania of the original NES era, and it's still fun to play despite its humble presentation and limited gameplay.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Eu sei que esse jogo é um CLASSICVANIA e ele é dessa forma de PROPOSÍTO, mas eu tenho que ressaltar minha opinião, a movimentação é uma porra, falo isso como um jogador que não gosta de restrições, seja ela quais forem. Tirando essa parada da movimentação, é um bom jogo pra matar o tempo, vou testar o 2 assim que terminar esse.
________________________________________ ⚔️ Gameplay Side-scroller classique directement hérité de l’ère 8-bit : on avance, on saute, on frappe et on esquive des attaques aux patterns prédéfinis. Chaque niveau se termine par un boss. Le jeu commence avec un unique personnage, puis au fil de l’aventure, on rencontre différents aventuriers que l’on peut tuer, épargner ou recruter. Tuer ou épargner revient au même : on continue seul. Recruter permet en revanche de débloquer le personnage et ses compétences spécifiques. - Le Guerrier : épée, équilibré, vitesse et portée moyennes. - La Guerrière : fouet, grande portée et sauts plus importants. - Le Vieux Mage : lent et fragile, mais capable d’utiliser de puissants sorts de protection. - Le Vampire : peut se transformer en chauve-souris et voler, permettant d’atteindre des zones inaccessibles. ________________________________________ 🎨 D-A et ambiance Évidemment inspiré de Castlevania sur NES, jusque dans sa palette de couleurs et ses musiques. Le jeu propose toutefois des graphismes et des animations profitant des technologies modernes, avec des effets visuels rapides et parfois même saisissant notamment dans le dernier stage. ________________________________________ ❤️ Ce que j’ai ressenti J’ai trouvé que le jeu était un bel hommage à Castlevania tout en gardant son originalité et sa propre identité. Bloodstained est l’une des grandes créations d’Inti Creates, qui maîtrise parfaitement les jeux en pixel art. Je le recommande, ainsi que sa suite. ________________________________________ 🌟 Points forts et Points faibles ✅ Mode de jeu modernisé : vies illimitées et reprise au début du checkpoint. ❌ Boss et nuées d’ennemis parfois difficiles à esquiver, voire frustrants. ________________________________________ 📝 P.S. : Toutes mes évaluations suivent le même schéma, pour garder une cohérence et un ressenti personnel à travers chaque jeu testé.
Esse jogo realmente te faz querer conhecer os clássicos abandonados pela Konami, Iga fez um trabalho impecável.
Jogo muito bom, um jogo feito por um dos produtores de Castlevania trouxe de volta está sensação de jogar um jogo da série, os gráficos 8 bit trazem um charme que nenhum 3d pode copiar, o jogo é bom, cada personagem me da vontade de jogar um pouco, as fases são desafiadoras, o modo veterano tem que ter paciência se não só vai morrer um monte e vai dar game over, mas o jogo conta com boss ótimos, parece até anime. E sem contar com a trilha sonora e os finais, fico feliz com o carinho que deram para o jogo.
Excelente titulo, un sucesor espiritual del Castlevania III, el soundtrack con ese hermoso VRC6 muy al estilo de la Famicon. Aunque sea corto, el juego te da buenos incentivos para re-jugarlo varias veces.
I zangetsutoed all over the place
很classic的一款恶魔城游戏,虽然没有中文,不过剧情体量也不大 [spoiler] (你的力量不潔,但是很有用就加入我吧 [/spoiler] 角色技能设计得不错,但是感觉平衡方面没有考虑得很全面 [spoiler] 自从解锁其他解锁后基本就没怎么用过剑士了 [/spoiler] 追逐战很有特色,最终boss设计得也蛮不错的
cool
