Finally finished Bloodstained. I will never get why Konami didn't just let Iga, Shutaro and the rest of the team make more Castlevanias.
For years I disregarded it, being put off by the rough artstyle and bad visual clarity, but man what a beast of a game there is under all that. The weapons, shards, the crafting, the techniques, the game logic (most things have a function and a place), the optional content are all great. I 100% it by alternating between Swords and Spears, and ultimately finishing it with the Guns because O.D. kept destroying me, but I plan to play NG+ with Boots/Greatswords only.
I saddens me so much that we could have simply had more games like this for the 3DS and then the Switch, but Konami said "no, mobile games are the future!!". Note that Bloodstained sold more copies than even LoS, the best selling CV.
