Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 Announced
Curse of the Moon 2 features multiple playable characters, including the original’s Zangetsu – the “sword-wielding exorcist,” Dominique – an “exorcist sent by the church who heals her allies and uses her spears to fell demons,” Robert – a “sharpshooting soldier capable of sniping his demonic foes,” and Hachi – a “Corgi who pulverizes demons by controlling a colossal suit of magicked armor.”
In our review of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, we said “The prospect of playing such a lovingly crafted tribute to the vintage heyday of Konami’s seemingly abandoned Castlevania series more than makes up for a few out-of-place boss fights and a slightly too punitive death penalty. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon delivers a brief but effective burst of nostalgia, and thanks to its many creative modifiers it contains enough replay value to engage (and challenge) anyone who pines for gaming’s bygone days.”
