The Indie Game Website writes: “Koji Igarashi was adrift before 2014. At that point, Igarashi had lived through four years without working on his beloved Castlevania franchise, lost in the muddle of a once-titanic publisher seemingly abandoning the concept of traditional game development altogether. Igarashi had one more shot at producing what was, essentially, his passion: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Encumbered by delays, anxieties over the crowdfunding model and growing discontent over Kickstarter, the result was a game that dared to fight against the odds. Ritual of the Night is very much the sister of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night in tone, with heavy nods to Igarashis last stellar game, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Concisely speaking, its a bloody good ride.”
