Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night — Miryam, a girl with a curse in her blood, doesn’t have much time left: the crystals are slowly turning her into stone. You can escape by dealing with the castle, which is full of demons and strange inhabitants. The project aims at the classics of the genre: the castle is divided into areas, access to which opens up new skills. Jumping, a whip, crawling and the ability to turn the world over - all this is needed to find hiding places. Demon abilities are knocked out of enemies and inserted into a set of skills, like construction parts. Alchemy enhances items, and the blacksmith makes weapons from materials found in corners. The castle map is revealed in parts. Vertical levels require precise jumps. Weapons are divided by speed and damage. Side quests provide materials. Stores are replenished as they go. Secret walls hide rooms. Bosses vary in tactics. Saves are located near the rest rooms. Flying enemies require ranged weapons. Swimming opens up the submerged parts. Books give recipes. Inventory is divided into tabs. Secret rooms are marked on the map. Demons provide different abilities. Armor changes appearance. The music is in a gothic style. Jumping requires calculation.

For anyone who misses gothic platformers with castle exploration, the game is suitable without reservations.
