Maybe they are not so evil after all?

Music is from the Bloodstained OST track #25 "In Peace's Embrace".
I believe this is the 2nd song toward the end of the credits.

DISCUSSION Am I going mad or is the "true endgame" a massive difficulty spike

19 Upvotes

Let me start by saying I didn't mind it, but I felt everything after draining the blood fountain got way harder way faster compared to everything else before it

It just felt weird to be decently gitted out by the end of like the first qaurter or third of the game, basically steamroll the entire thing and then face actual difficulty at the final 2 or so hours

And I did a decent bit of grinding for levels, shards, upgrades, equipment ect, its not like I neglected it (prob couldve done more for grinding for food tho)

Kinda wish the whole game was made a bit more difficult so the spike at true endgame stung a bit less and the progression of the whole game be more a good incline rather than an upside down grand canyon

would also apreciate some tips on completing the game 100%, the item grind is insane so some tips on alchemy for the items to not be as boring to grind would be awesome

DISCUSSION My “Castlevania Harmony of Despair”

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’ve been working on the demo for Kingsbane for the past 8 months. It’s a game inspired by Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, and I’m hoping to release the demo on Steam by the end of this year.
I think the game is finally at a point where it’s ready to be shown!
All the game mechanics, systems, rules, lore, and character designs were created entirely by me. However, I did use AI to help create spritesheets and environments, combined with assets made by freelance artists I’ve hired. Unfortunately, I simply don’t have the budget to commission artists for everything.
It’s been a huge challenge refining everything until it feels truly unique (I’ve gone through over 700 spritesheets just for the main character!). Even though I’m using AI, I’m committed to creating something with its own identity — something that captures the spirit of HoD without feeling like generic AI-generated content.
I know Harmony of Despair is far from being the most beloved Castlevania game, but it brings back some amazing memories. It reminds me of a time when my now-wife, my brother, and I would sit together on the couch and spend hours and hours just having fun.
Much love to the community!
P.S.: If everything goes well, I’m hoping to release the full game by 2028, but that will depend on how the demo is received.
One last thing: There’s no Steam page to follow, no wishlist to add it to, and nothing I’m trying to promote or sell right now. I just wanted to share something I’ve genuinely loved working on!

QUESTION how much is left

2 Upvotes

im curious because i want to get the most out of my first playthrough, I defeated the blood woman and already drained that fountain that ive been keeping my eye on since i first saw it

I know for certain ive missed some stuff (like white doors i need keys for that are named but i cant find and underwater area's i cant navigate)

but once I go down that fountains hole, how much is left? is it like dawn of sorrow where its one more area or more like symphony and order of ecclesia where you're basically unlocking the 2nd half of the game

already got the bad ending but just going off the map alone is there something I couldve missed that I should check out?

Ordog probably has the most disgusting design in the game.
The maggots remind me of the Forgotten One from Castlevania: Lament of Innocence.

Curry the Kid worked on Lament of Innocence toward the end of development. He is responsible for the games combo system. Each additional combo in the chain adds 5% damage.

Returning to Ritual After 5+ Years Away - In Honor of Halloween.

18 Upvotes

I'm a massive Halloween/Castlevania fan. Earlier this month, I played through Aria and Dawn of Sorrow via the Advance/Dominus collections. The Sorrow titles were amazing and brought back fond memories of Symphony Of The Night, my all-time favorite game.

I received Belmont's Curse at launch. I've played through the first 2 areas of the game.

I have been underwhelmed after recently playing through two classic IGA-Vanias'.

I want to do quick NG+ run of Ritual Of The Night on my PS5 Pro. The last time I played ROTN was in May of 2021. I'm eager to experience all of the updates. The DLC is on sale on the PS store. I've bought the costume pack and Classic II. However, I am unsure if IGA's Backpack is worth picking up.
It looks like gimmick DLC to me. Would anyone recommend it?

Does anyone have advice for a player that hasn't played Ritual in 5 years?

Thanks!

Arma não carrega textura nem atributos

Possível bug de Bunnymorphosis em Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (PS4)

Descobri um bug relacionado à transformação Bunnymorphosis, que transforma Miriam em Lili.

O que aconteceu:

  1. Salvei o jogo enquanto estava transformado em Lili.
  2. Ao carregar o save no dia seguinte, Miriam apareceu sem cabeça durante a partida. A textura da arma também apresentou problemas, e os atributos pareciam estar incorretos.
  3. Transformar-se novamente em Lili e voltar à forma normal recuperou a textura da arma e os atributos, mas a cabeça continuou ausente.
  4. Fechar completamente o jogo e abri-lo novamente fez a cabeça reaparecer.

O menu de equipamentos mostrava Miriam normalmente, mesmo quando o modelo durante a partida estava sem cabeça.

Estou postando isso pois tive que descobrir o que causou o bug e resolver sozinho pois não achei solução em lugar algum, e acho que talvez em algum momento isso possa ajudar alguém.

Ps. Não uso redes sociais e nunca postei em fóruns então espero não estar postando isso em lugar errado

My first time getting a good look at these "Crows".
Having a beak pecking at you while trapped in the toothy jaws is frightening.
