Guess E3 might have made it a lesser priority for the bigger sites

If you're considering it for the PC then I will say that a friend of mine who got it on that platform was saying it crashed about 5 times on him.... but that it was a beautiful and really good game in spite of that. Does look really nice but the Switch gamers get to wait another week before we get to see it on the system, it's cool to see something that started on Kickstarted and ended as an actual playable game though! It's why I get extra enjoyment from things like Race the Sun, Yooka Laylee and the 8bit Bloodstained from last year.

(also I read the title of this thread in Seinfelds voice.... curse you)



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

They didn't ship out review copies, because they have a massive day 1 patch for it. So if you buy it, I'd say avoid getting a physical copy. Before that day 1 patch the game is ultra janky. Unplayable janky.

Even after the day 1 patch it is still kind of janky, but probably a good game.

Anyway, I'll wait for a sale on the eShop, and then buy it.



Kickstarter backer here. It's Castlevania in all but name. And it's great. If you like the Metroidvania Castlevania games (Symphony of the Night being the obvious one), then there's no reason you wouldn't like this. I hope they make a franchise out of it, to be honest. It's not like Konami is doing anything with Castlevania.

Also, I have it on Steam. It runs great. No crashes. And I'm running it in 4K at 60fps.

Oh shit, just found out about curse of the moon, is there a reason to buy that? Doesn't like like they are tied together but the name, yeah?

Only reason to buy Curse of the Moon is if you like NES era Castlevania games.

Best game of the year so far, the game is worth the OST alone. If you're a fan of Michiru Yamane (SOTN), you'll feel right at home.

They're very loosely tied together.  Curse of the Moon isn't canon, but it does have 4 characters from Ritual of the Night as playable characters, and is probably a combination of Castlevania 3 and Rondo of Blood in terms of gameplay.

Fun as hell, and great music.



I just started the game and not sure whether or not the number calculator for the stats is bugged when you equip an item...for example, when you start your ATK stat is 1 and the first two weapons you get, a knife and kung fu shoes, both have 'ATK 8', so I figured when you equip one of them your 'ATK 1 stat' would go up to 'ATK 9', however it went up to 'ATK 6', as if the weapon had an 'ATK 5' value and not an 'ATK 8' value....what gives?



Glad you bought it. Havent played my copy yet but it's worth supporting a talented creative whose been slighted, while also sticking it to Konami.



Its really good.Go for it.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
