Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night |OT| We Have Paid Our Tribute, Igavania Is Resurrected

Others already answered, but I was stuck here for HOURS yesterday. Ended up stopping and watching multiple twitch streams til someone got there and of course the chat came through, lol.
Lots of these things are true for pretty much any product you make. Yet every other industry that goes to kickstarter, be it steak lockers to dry age your own meat in, devices for your phone, or other products are able to easily get things to backers first before things go to stores. If you can put games into random no name mom and pop gaming shops around the country more than a week before release date, you can ship product to backers at the same time or before release day. The production of Switch copies of this game is done, there is no reason they can't ship it to backers right now, other than waiting for release day to make retail chains happy.
Just wanted to write some real quick impressions
Please note, I like the old Castlevania games but I am not coming at this game with a ton of nostalgia or reverence.
I think the core game is feeling like it is really good. I could take or leave some of the anachronistic quirks of Vania's past. I do feel like there is a good bit in this game that feels janky / amateurish. (Sound effects, etc...)
But after about 30 min I am feeling kinda excited to play more. :)

Honestly I had to stock up on food to survive this one and heal my character frequently.
Do some Villager quests to get food (heals better than potions + increases max hp,) get a weapon you're comfortable with and hit & run. I couldn't really skill it, but was able to heal myself enough and hit him with a 2-handed sword and the gale shard until he was done.
The Iron Maiden that's on the spikes, right? Use that ability shard where you can grab objects to move them. The one that looks like a fist.
Just gotta hold out for the Switch version. It's been 4 years so I guess one more week is fine.
Hah sorry, no idea why I said that: THERE IS NO CAP ON FRAMERATE, I'm also playing on a 144+ Hz monitor ;)
I assume it should, why else is there an option to register your id?
So I've played almost 4 hours, and somehow my character's attack stat has changed to being only 6. Seems like a really bad bug. Saving / reloading does nothing to fix it...
Straight up pausing the game here just to post WTF at the hit grunt for the floating sword/bloodbringer
Have you by chance equipped an item that raises your other stats and lowers attack?
The steam description is great:
Additional Notes (Min. Spec): If you have a potato PC or above, you're ok.
Additional Notes (Rec. Spec): The only potatoes you use are the tasty kind.

Ah, yes. Must have missed that part where it said you could register your id.
Still waiting for my copy....
What should I do again to see my backer id?
This happened to me as well (no Safe Ring). Thankfully I had saved on multiple slots.
In your Fangamer mail, your id should be on the top right, it says KICKBLOODSTAINED-#{backerid}
Thanks for the input guys! Much appreciated
Right in front of my face. Guess it's time for bed, to tired for this.
Thank for the help. I appreciate it.

Not even sure what that item is.
But I am guessing if you have to do one or the other, that neither one contribute to the 100%. Or you are able to pick them up later in the game.
Fairly certain steam already has the day 1 patch if unlocking the difficulties unlocks speed run mode.
Me too, and while I got to play for about an hour yesterday, I won't today, or tomorrow, and I think, long-term, would've preferred the download code.
Does anyone know how the extra DLC for backers will work - will we get codes emailed to us when they're up?
The developer flat-out says in the Steam forums that it hasn't been released yet and they have no timeframe for it.
The gameplay was always in good hands and the kickstarter campaign handled well, only the graphics looked rough at first but the dev team showed the game too early to backers so its justified
