A New Patch For Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Is Now Available

Okay, this game had a very rough launch on the Switch, but I'm impressed by their dedication to keeping it updated. You rarely see stuff like that, these days. Cheers, devs!

UPDATE NINJA APPROVED

So is it good on Switch yet?

@Dezzy I have it, but I'll be honest. I haven't touched it since launch. They keep patching it, so I'm just waiting. I'll eventually check. Too involved with Demon's/Dark Souls right now lol

DARK NINJA APPROVED

Did they ever come out with co-op?

@BloodNinja Me too. Had it a while but haven't really touched it...guess I like to wait until developers are done patching so I can just enjoy the most finished and bugless version. Also I was waiting for them to add playable Zangetsu.

Perhaps they should have finished the game prior to selling it.

I’ll update tonight and report back. I tried it about 5 months ago and it was decently smooth on handheld. Can’t remember graphics, but I’m not expecting XB1/PS4 quality, just less blur and fog would be nice

@Dezzy I'd say pretty good for me, I didn't experience anything major. It wasn't perfect (tiny slowdown/graphics wonky all but for couple of moments), but absolutely not littered with bugs or something, plus I think this makes the 2nd patch (3rd?) they've put out since I finished. I plan on playing it again on harder mode and also appreciate these guys adding/patching away

I really enjoyed this game about a year ago on Switch. I’d love to get a final physical release with all the updates.

Can they already release a definitive version and when cotm2 is aged do a dual pack so we can get a physical copy withoit me remortgaging my house to do so

Updated, performing well. Game looks a lot better than it did at launch, water looks a lot better for sure. 👍

It's not bad before this update anyway tbf.

I played this on May 2020 and it was already pretty good (I'm not very picky). I should take it for a spin again since the last patches

If I had started playing this game on the Switch I probably wouldn’t know better but if you jump from the XBOneX version to this one... even after all of the patches(can’t speak for this one yet though) there is an undeniable hit to button response and frame rate that is hard to put up with. Pretty much the only Switch port where I had the feeling that I’d rather play it on the beefier console.

To be honest I was waiting like all of you guys. I finally played it a month ago and it was great.
I think you are all ready to give it a go, you’re missing on a great Metroidvania.

Own physically on both Switch and PS4 but yet to play. I had heard the PS4 version runs better but the lack of a PS4 compatible gamepad with a proper d-pad has held me back.

Bought it this weekend and love it. The music is extraordinary, the graphics are beautiful and the game itself is a ton of fun.

@FX102A This game has had issues on all platforms. I own digital on xbox and the physical on Switch. I encounter the occasional bug on Xbox. It used to randomly crash, but that has since been patched out (for me at least).

I´m playing it on PC now, and it´s definitely a good game and a pretty good Castlevania. I´m enjoying it quite a lot. However, the 3D style... doesn´t suit well.
I prefer Blasphemous in pretty much every way, honestly (except for the variety of weapons). Specially the graphics. A sequel to Bloodstained done with the Blasphemous style would be amazing.
