While Ritual of the Night is emulating 2D Castlevania titles from the PlayStation era, Curse of the Moon is a stage-based 2D side-scroller with light exploration elements. All four playable characters are from Ritual of the Night, but play different roles than they do in the main game. One thing that is worth noting is that this is more of a spin-off and was said to not really be in the same ‘canon’ as Ritual of the Night. Now, story here is pretty light, but you do get some story during each short stage in the game. On the journey, he runs into and rescues three allies from Demons that use their own abilities to help Zangetsu in his quest, including Miriam, the protagonist of Ritual of the Night. Zangetsu is a Demon Hunter who ventures off into the Night in his life-long hatred and hunt for all of Demonkind. While light on story, Curse of the Moon is a spin-off that chronologically takes place before the events of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.

While its release is still a ways away, we have a Bloodstained game out now for both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation Vita that can be played and enjoyed.īeing a throw-back to even more classic Castlevania games from the NES era, here is my review of the spin-off title, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon! Story One that is still on the horizon and looking to be one of the greats, however, is Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Yooka-Laylee had a difficult launch and had several issues at launch that had to be patched out. Mighty No 9 felt lackluster and has been easily shadowed by its own cross-over game, Mighty Gunvolt Burst. There have been several Kickstarter “spiritual successor” games that people were incredibly-excited for but ultimately fell short of expectations. Platforms: Nintendo Switch, PS Vita / PlayStation TV Also, PS Plus subscribers can pick up the Dungeon Defenders PS Plus Pack for Dungeon Defenders II from March 13th to April 10th.Game Title: Bloodstained – Curse of the Moon So, yeah, it’s not exactly Bloodborne, but oh well. Both of those games are cross-buys with the PlayStation 4. As for the Vita, you can pick up Claire: Extended Cut and Bombing Busters. At least you can check the latter out just for kicks, to experience why so many people were angry about it for yourself.

PS3 owners are getting Legend of Kay and the deservedly much-maligned Mighty Number 9.

Either way, both games deserve your attention.Īs for PlayStation 3 and Vita, pickings are more slim. Ratchet and Clank is a colorful platformer, while Bloodborne is a pitch-black, horrifying action RPG / survival horror. Both are really great games, if polar opposites of each other. You guys are getting Bloodborne and Ratchet and Clank. It’s a pretty good month for PlayStation 4. With that out of the way, let’s see the PlayStation Plus roster for March 2018.
