What is "Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon Chronicles"?

• This package includes two titles from the Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon series, presented in a nostalgic yet new 8-bit graphic style within a beautifully gothic world. Players will control Zangetsu, who embarks on a journey through a demon-infested castle. By recruiting characters encountered along the way, players can switch between them, each offering unique abilities essential for progression. The series is composed of multiple scenarios directed by Koji Igarashi.

Story:

• Once, there was a man cursed by demons under the moon. His name was "Zangetsu."
• Dressed in crimson robes and with eyes that burned with hatred, Zangetsu journeyed from darkness to darkness, slaying the demon that cursed him and all others.
• One night, Zangetsu senses the presence of a great demon. "Destroy all demons..." he mutters as he brandishes his sword in the moonlit darkness. Simultaneously, the church, predicting the emergence of a "Tower of Demons," sends an exorcist named "Dominique" to the location. Knowing Zangetsu, Dominique hurries through the night to join him, harboring her own secret intentions...

Key Points:

1. Increase Your Allies and Strengthen Your Forces!

   • The characters Zangetsu meets during his journey can become allies and are interchangeable at any time. Each ally possesses unique attack actions and individual health bars, making battles more favorable as your team grows. The outcomes, difficulty, and story endings in Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon depend on how you interact with allies such as "Miriam," "Alfred," and "Gebel." In Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, new characters like "Dominique," "Robert," and "Hachi" are added, along with returning playable characters from the previous game.

2. Utilize Allies for Shortcuts!

   • By effectively using each ally's unique abilities, you can significantly shorten your route through stages. If an ally becomes incapacitated, you’ll be forced to take a longer route, so it’s strategic to conserve their strength for crucial moments. In Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, the game supports local multiplayer (using two controllers), allowing two players to cooperatively clear stages by combining various character abilities.

3. Conquer Multiple Episodes!

   • The story unfolds across multiple episodes. Initially, only one episode is available, but more episodes unlock as you progress. All episodes are interconnected, eventually converging into one grand narrative.

4. Play in a Style That Suits You!

   • The game offers various play styles, including "Veteran" and "Casual." "Veteran" mode provides a classic, challenging experience where enemies can knock you into bottomless pits, reminiscent of retro games. For a more relaxed experience, "Casual" mode eliminates knockback from enemy hits and offers unlimited lives.
