noiseredux | 232 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 just came to post the same! I'm thrilled that this has turned into an actual ongoing series. I loved the first Curse Of The Moon, and Ritual of The Night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Konami ain't going to bother making the real deal anymore, I'm fine with this series being my replacement Castlevania. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noiseredux | 232 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 yeah, exactly. Those two games really went a long way in filling the void of 'real' Castlevania games for me. In my mind, these ARE the new CV's in everything but name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noiseredux | 232 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Now the bigger question: will we get a physical release? I waited for physical copies of the other two Bloodstained games, and am more than happy to do the same for this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,933 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I'll second third whatever it all, damn fine thing seeing this and that it appears it has been so popular enough for IGA and his crew to make this into an actual series of its own since Konami is more interested in playing with its tiny metal balls these days than doing Castlevania right anymore. I'd like to see physical of this, never did get the first one as such which is a shame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I'm not gonna lie, I actually enjoyed Curse of the Moon more than RotN, so I'm pretty stoked for this. I'd much rather get this than a RotN sequel, although I'd love to see that as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,521 Editorials Team · Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 They may as well make Contra games too. Really stick it to Konami 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepup | 2,404 Administrator · Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Game looks awesome - definitely looking forward to it! I hadn't heard about this, so thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed the first one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,006 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Why are they working on this when they haven't even fulfilled all of the Kickstarter promises yet? Seems like a poor choice of resource management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's two different teams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelin03 | 314 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I saw the trailer during the NewGame+ presentation. The game looks great so far. I look forward to playing as Dominique after ROTN. It's nice to get a different line up of characters this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I am excited for this as well. Now the question, buy the digital to only have to buy the physical down the line or just wait. Ended up with both for Curse of the Moon, not knowing if physical would ever be a reality for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played the game already, I'm doe with it. But of course, as noiseredux said, it's a completely different team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd gotten the first Curse of the Moon digital on PS4 as a backer reward. Then I got the physical one in the NES style box from LRG for the Switch. Sure I double dipped, but I at least it was for two different platforms. I've justified double dips on games for much more than $10, so this is a no-brainer for me. Get the PS4 digital (if it is only $10 again), play it sooner and get some trophies, then get a physical Switch (hopefully a NES style package to match the other) for the Nintendo collection. I'm not in the habit of double dipping, but if it's a series I love I will do it for sure. Grow my collection and support games that I want them to make more of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a poor choice of resource management. I think backing anything on Kickstarter is a fool's errand, but I let my nostalgia for SotN get the better of me and I joined the fools on this one. I will never back another. As per usual, promised content didn't make it, the game launched unplayable on Switch, and backer rewards were made available to all buyers after launch. But that's how Kickstarter goes and I really should've known better. That being said, I'm not sure how the rights played out with this being made by another studio completely, so it probably has nothing to do with the Kickstarter at this point. Either way I'm excited for this one. Edited June 24, 2020 by DoctorEncore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand if people expect bonuses to be exclusive that it can be frustrated. I'm just happy we have gotten two good games in the series so far as a result of the Kickstarter. Looks like we are getting a third too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm probably being a bit overly negative out of disappointment with how everything played out, but I really should have expected it. It's not like it's the first Kickstarter; I had plenty of knowledge about how things tend to go on there. And both Curse and Ritual ended up being great games, although I find it hard to believe they couldn't have secured funding through a traditional publisher. Kickstarter has always just felt a little sketchy to me since it's basically asking for investors, but then not allowing them to profit from the success of their investment. That's why Fig is so cool. But I don't want to derail the thread. I'm really excited for this sequel.

DarkTone | 984 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Still haven't played the first one yet, or Ritual. Was the first curse game better than ROTN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curse is basically an easier, modern update to Castlevania 3 and it's pretty awesome. RotN is a full-on modern game in the vein of SotN. Both are great games in their own right, so it just depends what you're interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noiseredux | 232 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 yup, agreed. I loved both, can't say one is "better" than the other. If you prefer the NES Castlevanias, then Curse is for you. If you prefer SOTN and the GBA/DS games, then Ritual is the way to go. Both are awesome, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noiseredux | 232 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Play Asia sent out an email saying that COTM2 is not up for pre-order YET but will let us know when it is. So I'm not sure if that's confirmation of a physical release, or just optimistic thinking on their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
