Bloodstained ROTN
- Bloodstained Ritual of the Night had great success with its Kickstarter project, gaining quite a few stretch goals adding a number of additions to the game. One of those funded goals included the new addition that has now arrived with the latest patch update.
- The update adds a new classic mode, so you can play Bloodstained: ROTN in a retro inspired mode. There is also crossover content from the game Kingdom: Two Crowns.
- The classic mode puts Miriam once again into the castle where she must confront Gebel and survive five stages and five sub-bosses. Along with her main weapon, players can choose a special, limited-use ability to use throughout this mode, but you can only have one at a time. Picking up a new ability will get rid of the old one.
- Artplay last year had teamed up with developer Raw Fury, adding characters from ROTN to Kingdom: Two Crowns. Now the crossover continues in Bloodstained, adding a brand new area, inspired by Kingdom with a pixel aesthetic.
- Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is now available on PC, Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Want to know what we thought of BROTN? Check out Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Review.
