Curse of the Moon has a fun roster of unique heroes, but the slow-moving action quickly grows stale
Curse of the Moon is a nostalgic trip back to the era of classic Castlevania games, warts and all.
As far as throwbacks go, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is a worthwhile venture. It captures the essence of yesteryear's classics, while offering numerous options to comfort an audience that might be unfamiliar with that time period. The game is also quite entertaining, and the replay-value is quite high. Still, it is not possible to shake the feeling that something is missing. It's as if the developer decided the safe choice was the right one, and left all of the risk-taking up to the player. Will this game be remembered in thirty years? Only time will tell.
The wait for Ritual just got a heck of a lot easier.
Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon is a brilliant ode to one of Castlevania’s best
I ask you to assess whether it is worth paying 10 euros for 2 hours of play, or you prefer to invest them in others whose duration is longer. In any case, if you are lovers of retro, go for it because it will make you spend an entertaining mini afternoon.
