I think that they could have at least expended a bare minimum amount of effort and made it look like Bloodlines or Super Castlevania which are gorgeous instead of that low effort NES shit that any ape with zero artistic talent can slap together.

>crashed as the first boss was dying

Woooow

>>14842264

It was one of the goals from Bloodstained's kickstarter. Though I doubt they put any sincere effort into it since it just looks like a CV3 clone, I'm still surprised they made it instead of pocketing the cash.

>>14842264

>bare minimum of effort

>make me bloodlines or super castlevania, that requires a bare minimum of effort

what the fuck?

This was just a side game while they worked on the real thing

>>14842687

I probably should have spent the time to make sure neither of those were using filters

This looks more fun than the actual Bloodstained they're making. The more I have to wait for it the more shit that I think it will be.

Cant get this game to work with a DS4.

Anyone managed?

>>14842066

>we went back into remaking ancinet games

>and usually in a worse way

Some great fucking future over here.

> Everything in the video dies in 1 or 2 hits, even massive fucking knights

> You can take like 15 fucking hits before dying

> Everything hits really soft, dealing only 1 or 2 hitpoints of damage out of 15

> Music sounds bland

The game looks beautiful, and I love how well they hit the aesthetic, but that doesn't bode well for gameplay. I'd love it if they also managed to hit the Classicvania difficulty and music.

>>14842739

Yeah, people love 8-bit garbage, it makes them feel so retro gamer xD

Kill me.

>>14842652

Actually, it wasn't made by Igarashi's team, it was shopped out to Inticreates, the guys who made Mega Man Zero. It looks worth a pirate.

Its quite fun but too easy

>>14842766

We have a share thread you fucking newfaggots

Wasn't this that one Kickstarter game that was supposed to be a Metroidvania?

>>14844927

It's a side project that was featured as a stretch goal.

>>14844977

Oh, so is the ORIGINAL Bloodstained still in development?

>>14845075

yes, and ironically looks worse than this one.

2.5dpd

Every IGA game was always too easy

>>14842066

It's basically Castlevania 3.5 Another World. It's been fun but there' still some things here and there that they probably could've thought about better. Once you get NotAlucard, the game becomes damn easy. His basic attack pretty much negates any need for an upward throwing subweapon and you can basically just fly through most of the level with him if you wanted. His bat form uses hearts (now Magic Pots) but they hand them out so often it's never a problem to have alot. It's also relatively short, I've played the game for probably only 2 hours today and there's only 2 levels left. I'm hoping there's some replayability, but I doubt it. The game is nearly a cake walk until the boss before NotDracula's castle, which is the double headed dragon.

That said, I've really enjoyed it. I know some people shit on NES style graphics, but it looks damn good. The "Veteran" mode still feels fucking easy though. It's much easier than any actual Castlevania game.

Instead of getting a code for this on Switch today I got an email saying I wouldn't. Bravo.

>>14845725

Get fucked faggot

>>14845725

They are giving temporaty codes for steam to the console people.

Why would you spend $300 on something you won't actually own?

>>14845842

Nintendo has the right to brick your console whenever they want.

>>14845843

Fuck off back to Facebook

Just recently beat the normal mode and now i'm playing Nightmare Mode and there's something that i couldn't find, how the hell you find Zangetsu's abilities? I found the health extensions and the other 2 power ups but couldn't learn those 3 skills not that it matters anymore in Nightmare Mode.

>>14845853

>3 skills

Are you talking about like Miriam's 3 knife upward throw and big axe? His are just an upward throwing mace(?), a downward throwing card that damages continously where it's thrown, and a demon mode that makes your attacks twice as powerful. You get the skills of the character your playing as from the purple lanterns, unless you're Gebel, he always just drops a large magic pot.

>>14845971

No those aren't them it's Crescent Moon a downward slash attack, Blood Moon which allows you to jump twice and New Moon which gives you a dashing move.

>>14845987

Well shit, I've completely missed those too then.

>>14842649

NES art is everything wrong.

Your pics exemplify it.

>>14842727

It will be shit.

The same guys that made Mighy No. 9 are making it.

This or the mummy demake?

>>14847041

Pirate it, or never touch it.

It was made by brazillians.

All brazillian game studios are front to communist companies owned by literal marxists,in order to push as many of their pawns into the industry as possible.

>>14847061

Demastered is fun, great graphics, music, movement and upgrades are pretty good too. However, the bosses are 3minute bullet sponges with at most three easily dodged, very telegraphed attacks. The flamethrower and assault rifle are the only two good weapons in the game, and the collectable relics give you absolutely nothing.

>>14847305

Documents in portuguese.

You have to know that all game studios in Brazil are owned by shell companies that are owned by communist parties. They want to spread communist activist via entertainment to all places.

They tried it with brazillian movies and novels, and failed.

They are trying it with brazillian games now.

Every single one of Brazil's developers for games are activists for feminism garbage, faggot abominations and marxism. They are activists first, and anything else second. They are literal worshipers of ape Obama and hag Hillary.

You will find shills everywhere trying to dismiss that, as many are interested in infiltrating the games market and to dismiss any information about their ties to communism and marxism.

Been playing for a while. All those statements are a lie except maybe the first one. It is definitively easier than Castlevania 3, but still good for today's standards.

>>14855944

I agree. The thought of grabbing a mouthy whore by the hair and flinging her at a wall like a baseball and hearing her shriek when she realizes that she's five feet away from making a dent in it and then peeling off of it like used flypaper and end up lying limp and lifeless on the pavement gets me hard.

>>14847874

Fuck off underage. There's more to visuals than number of colors onscreen, you aesthetically challenged mong. Those pics have elegant use of color, crisp pixelart and nice, economic design. Indie shit wishes it looked half as good.

>>14856471

You're a literal graphics whore, these studios can't pay for shit like that, the 90's people working on pixel art probably got paid huge amounts and also were professional artists trained on a now almost lost skill

>>14856493

No dipshit, a graphic whore is someone who focuses on raw graphical output, regardless of art design. Good pixel art doesn't require millions, just talent and an eye for aesthetics. These games only had like 4-5 artists working on them. The Metal Slug games were made by a team of 15-16 people in total. Hardly breaking the bank. You have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

>>14856539

You must have the data on the budget / salary, and the occupation of that people. Even then 16 people is a lot more than your average 1 to 6 people team indie studio.

Just as bad as no Metroid V by Vanillaware.

I don't see Miriam growing into an ara. Still I shouldn't talk. Miriam is still young enough to be my younger sister. I just have to remember that Miriam might know how to slay demons, but I'll have to teach her everything else about life as if she's ten. Might have a sensei fetish.

so much this

i blame millenials/hipsters/normalfagscum relationship with new technology. in the past, when a new piece of technology hit the streets, most people were uninterested in them. take for example, early computers. there wasnt too much you could do with them right out of the box. you had to learn how to use it, and then be creative enough to figure out something that you could do with the new technology. so people would get a new computer/console and think "hmm, what can i get this thing to do?".

nowadays, technology is thoroughly marketed, and new tech products come out semiannually (see iphones/androids/tablets etc). these things are made so that literal retards can use them right out of the box (to avoid losing out on the potential normalfag market which is HUGE in terms of sales), but getting them to do what YOU want with them is normally impossible without jailbreaking the platform or device. they are designed to do what THEY want you to do with them, and if you modify it to do what you want, there are often repercussions (for example, nintendo being able to brick hacked devices, or limit the consoles ability to play online/use important features on the console).

so the difference comes from the fact that in the past, tech was a niche market inhabited by nerds who used to see every new piece of technology as something that they could manipulate to get something out of it/create something new (ie "what can i do with this new technology?"). whereas now, normalfags are such invalids, that they buy the new iphone (which are usually, hardware-wise, indistinguishable) every 6 months, open it up and say "what can this technology do for me?". its a complete subversion of the mindset behind the use of tech.

i believe this happened as a result of the massive increase in revenue from tech companies. they started seeing big $$$, so they came up with a way to get people to keep buying at a constant rate, allowing them to have a steady revenue flow, and score themselves some extra margins for their company/corporation (unlimited comped sushi for all the execs). they spent tons of money trying to see what their customers (cattle) want out of a new device, then give it to them right out of the box. they would lose out on a large amount of potential profits by marketing upgradeable, easily manipulated/programmed tech to people who are savvy enough to do such things. but with normalfags, all they have to do is give em a new app or two (which is conveniently "incompatible" with the previous versions of the platform) every couple months, and thats more than enough to get these droolers to shell out a fucking grand (or a LOT more than that) to buy the new goyphone/goydevice.

the weak sauce pixel-shit pumped out by (((indie studios))) is a prime example of people who do not understand how to manipulate the (MUCH easier to use game design assets) tech to get it to do what they want having now wormed their way into a position where THEY are the ones creating the games. as such, we have a game here that looks EXACTLY like castlevania 3, with very little setting it apart from a fucking romhack of it.

well thanks. Should've been in the OP but I guess he was busy sucking fat dicks.

>>14859295

This isn't what pixelshit is. This is clearly not low-effort pixel art made on the cheap. It's disingenuous to imply that anybody can make art that looks like this, and it's retarded to imply that there is new technology that makes it easier than ever to produce good-looking pixel art. It's easier to make games than ever, but for the most part, the art still has to be painstakingly produced.

The game looks stupidly easy, but criticizing the art for being"lazy" is 100% fucking stupid.

>>14859439

So much this.

I'm making my own NES-style game off and on and goddamn if pixel art isn't fucking hard to get right.

Anyone can slap together some shitty pixels, but to actually do it right, and to do it with some semblance of the limitations of the original hardware (4 colours per sprite, one of which has to be the alpha channel, so 3 colours if you want some transparency for moving objects, and even then you can only use 16 different colours on screen at one time) is an art unto itself.

Most modern game indie shit devs don't even have history with the consoles and games they're ripping off, much less understand the format and what made them what they were to begin with.

How the fuck do you get the "good end"?

or like in this case, just ripped directly from castlevania 3

i even think the gameplay part of it looks interesting, but the complete lack of originality is stunning. like i said, this couldve been a romhack if it wasnt for the fact that the thread told me its a different game.

>>14872291

I really miss that i mean it makes sense behind this monster girls lore but as always there is always someone ruining the fun out of millions.

>>14872685

Fuck, that game was difficult, especially that damn vertical tower level.

Awesome music, too.

>>14872015

I beat Holy Relics some weeks ago, it had quite a good spin on the gameplay, and level design, custom graphics and music were top notch. Optomon really nailed this one I hope he releases his game someday

Just beat normal mode on Veteran.

It's fun but it's easy as fuck. Holy shit, it's easy. Even the final level, which is the first one I actually died on, isn't too hard once you get the patterns down. The final boss telegraphs like a motherfucker and hits soft as shit.

What makes the game easier than anything else is the ability to destroy all enemy weapons. The vast majority of all enemies you can just stand in front of them and spam the attack button to tear through all the attacks they send at you and kill them. The few that don't telegraph like mad and are trivial to dodge. The bosses hit you like 20 times before you actually die.

When you beat the game, you unlock "nightmare", which as far as I can tell is the same game but with three characters instead of four. I assume it's exactly the same but with a new boss; maybe a new stage as well. I assume the third unlockable mode is the same shit: just play through the game again, maybe missing another character (or more likely with just the first character, to sort of actually resemble the first Castlevania), and then get yet another boss. I'm not sure if I'll beat Nightmare mode. I don't see much of a point replaying a game that didn't challenge me the first time just for another ending.

I'd recommend playing it, but not paying for it. It's fun, but doesn't come close to comparing to Castlevania or Castlevania 3.

>>14876169

Never pay for games. Period.

Play games.

Don't pay for games.

>>14856037

No, I beat it, it was even easy by today's standards. Even Shovel Knight puts the difficulty in this game to shame twice over, and that one was only occasionally hard.

>>14876178

I didn't say I paid for it. It would probably be worth it at about $5. The $10 they're asking for is pushing it for how quick and easy it was. $15 would have been an insult, but they had the sense to not go that high.

I will say that the music is decent and the art is great. They did a really good job of simulating the NES art styles, even though they didn't respect the limitations strictly (especially on bosses and large enemies, which would have easily eaten up all screen sprites/character table tiles).

>>14842649
