I like difficulty and old school games, so this is no problem for me.  Now, I want an update on classic mode, that is what I am most interested in.

Dracula was not always a monster. He was once a man named Mathias Cronqvist. A flawed, conflicted, genius of a man. How did the educated, aristocratic, crusader who piously served the church become a vampire, and eventually the Dark Lord himself, the opposing force to God? From a very young age terrors and tragedy shaped the man into the king of all evil. This is his story.

Apparently the flag isn't set correctly for those who have already beaten the game, so you'll have to beat the final boss again. *shrug*
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

The boss is cake anyway.  Especially with that explosive bomb shard and with every support shard at maximum.
You know who's hard? The damn money boss... I have to 'invest' all my money into coins prior.

They should've allowed Zangetsu's hook to pull him up to platforms Bionic Commando-style.

That would add a new dimension of play for Zangetsu rather then said extra character has multi-jump ability like all the rest.

Did anyone else notice just how much people shit on this game, on reddit?
Damn I've seen people complaining about the lack of a story mode for zangetsu, even though it has always been the case with castlevania (bar julius mode in dawn)
Iga is getting a lot of criticism there and I don't think it's deserved, after all they even managed to fix the switch version

People are jerks.
This is one of the Kickstarters that has actually delivered on most of what it said it would.
We even got Curse of the Moon, which rocks.

But in this internet culture, if it's not perfect, it sucks.

Well you see, the complain is mainly because since he's no longer at Konami, they could easily made a few tweaks for Zangetsu mode, instead of the bare bones mode. Personally i played with him a little more than half the game and then i got bored. No trophies, no reason at all or motivation to play with him and took them 10 months to deliver it. They scrapped rogue mode with randomizer, another useless mode, again in my opinion.

 Now, if any of the new content had some trophies, i'm sure most people would tried them and that they wouldn't complain that much. I know there are technical difficulties, but when people give you all the time you need to make something, i know that in the end you can find a solution and not walk the easy path.

 He promised that it would be his biggest game, something that didn't happened, the main game is to short compared to previous titles, like SotN or PoR. Now i'm not complaining here, before someone starts shooting fire at me, i'm just stating some facts here, as to why most people feel hate about this game.

Odd... it **feels** long, to me.
It certainly feels longer than Symphony of the Night.  And there are more chambers than any previous game of his.

Another reason for the backlash is probably the time that has taken them.... and the shitty switch port

I have to say, despite many promises not being kept... I'm still infinitely happy to have IGA-vania from IGA again and so, I'm incredibly lenient towards some promises not being kept. Ever since 2008, we haven't gotten a proper IGA-vania so that we got one at all still makes me happy beyond belief. Yes, there are other games in the Metroidvania style, but none have had the charme and the atmosphere to pull it off, until Bloodstained came. Should the Zangetsu Mode have been better, with it's own story and trophies? Yes. But I can forgive that it wasn't.

I really like Bloodstained. It was fun to explore an Igavania again that I had no knowledge of. Definitely was something that was missing out of my life.

That being said, I both beat it and didn't beat it. As soon as I beat the final boss, my PS4 overheated. So I have the trophy for beating it and for reaching level 50, but my save file doesn't reflect that. Also, I'm sure it's common knowledge at this point but

(click to show/hide)

And obviously, because my PS4 overheated, I don't have access to Zangetsu or Randomizer yet. Will probably post my thoughts after I unlock those.

Also, hey guys. I kinda forgot I had an account here for a while.

the main game is to short compared to previous titles, like SotN or PoR.

From what I've experienced Bloodstained feels bigger. Granted it does take longer to get through the game as the player is mucking about with the alchemical crafting and other things. Although you're probably including SotN's inverted castle segment as well which, in that case, I can see the argument. PoR to me actually felt shorter then either Bloodstained or SotN. The main castle is quick to get through as there isn't a whole lot of areas to explore (This is not including the paintings of course).

So I finally beat it and... am I crazy or did I not see the Dungeon Clan listed anywhere in the Credits? When it got to backers, I saw "no clan" and nothing else. Was really disappointed to not see my credit in there.

Edit: Okay that's weird. When I beat it, it only showed No Clan, but selecting the credits option showed all of them. I saw my name and I'm happy now.
