Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 Reviews
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is clearly a love letter to the NES Castlvania games.
Overall, though? Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is a great game that pays loving homage to the classic old-school Castlevania games. Here's hoping this does well enough so Inti Creates can go even bigger with a third entry.
One way ticket to golden era of 8-bits with great gameplay and frusrating difficulty spikes.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is expertly crafted by veteran developer Inti Creates, it is a highly replayable action game with a lot of options to play and accessible difficulty option. The only thing we didn't like is the jump mechanic and not being able to change direction after jumping.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is a worthy successor to the original and I'm very happy that Inti Creates and Koji Igarashi decided to make this sequel. With a cool co-op mode and a wonderful new cast of playable characters, it's one fun retro-inspired game.
Worry not that Konami shows no interest in authorizing a new Castlevania game, for Inti Creates has picked up the slack.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is a great follow-up to the retro throwback that was its predecessor. Simply put, there is more to play and more to enjoy.
Curse of the Moon 2 is more of what made the first game so good. I just think that some sections and design choices really put a dark spot on an otherwise incredible release.
Swapping between your heroes as you tackle different tasks is fun, but the slow action and rigid platforming belong in the past
Like the first game, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2's 8-bit motif is pure, unmitigated nostalgia for fans of the classic Castlevania games.
I’m a big fan of platform-adventure games such as Metroid and Castlevania. Their simple yet challenging gameplay has always been a lure to me ever since I first discovered Super Metroid and Super Castlevania IV way back in the 90s on the SNES. The Bloodstained series is considered to be the spiritual successor to Castlevania with both series being developed by Koji Igarashi. Igarashi conceived the idea of Bloodstained after his departure from Konami in 2018 and was prompted by many requests by fans for him to produce another “Metroidvania” style game. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is the third game released in the Bloodstained series so how does it compare to its already well received brethren?
A huge step down from the first game. Only for the most die-hard retro fans.
The battle against Demons continues. Help Zangetsu and his friends beat them! Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, Curse of the Moon 2 features retro 8-bit graphics and soundtrack just like the classic NES games did. Despite being very short, it will provide you with real fun moments.
