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

Miriam ending gear is just.... Godly. Blaze through the levels in high speed, high jump and cutting through everything with Rhava Velar..... Its too damn good!
If you even remotely like SotN you'll love it, imo.
Bruh, if you're only past the boat you're like 15-30 minutes in. Just restart to be safe. It'd be a few hours before you really knew if you had the bug or not. It's not worth it to keep going forward. Then you will lose a fair amount of progress if you do have it.
I'd love to get more impressions for the switch version.
I've seen physical copies floating around out there but I've yet to see footage or comparisons.

Does anyone have any tips for fighting Bloodless? She is kicking my ass no matter what I try.
Switch direct feed gameplay.
game arrived, played 30 minutes and i am already hooked. has sometimes a Xbox 360 era look to it, some japanese games looked like that 10 years ago but the game itself seems good so far. started on hard mode, feels right difficulty wise.
Graphically it certainly looks worse, but it looks gameplay intact. Pretty smooth 30. Seems totally playable. Can't wait to get my copy on (prob) Monday.
Damn, how disappointing. Been looking forward to this too. Most likely going to get the steam version now.
So I 100% the map, shards, demons, supplies, materials, food, and quests. Don't think I'm gonna bother maxing out the equipment and techniques, though. Game is fantastic, but I've hit my limit when it comes to completion. The only thing that bugs me is I wish the effects of increasing a shard's grade was more clear. Some seem to have rather drastic effects, some don't seem to do anything at all.
Anyone interested in endgame gold grinding needs to max out and stack augment gold, though. You can get thousands of gold per second if you have that, maxed out accelerator, and an efficient route with lots of candles.

Thanks!
Honestly it looks a little muddy, but FPS looks pretty solid - I'll take it.
(Traveling next week, so i'm glad it looks decent!)
I thought you had the PS4 version. You're getting it on Switch?
I'm enjoying this game quite a bit, and only about a third through it I believe. I do find the balancing bizarre though. The first boss was actually the hardest I've encountered - after that the first couple areas provide you with completely overpowered magic that annihilates anything else I've come across. I'm speaking specifically of the Sword Boost, Welcome Party, and (Something) Grinder shards. I got these right away and haven't had any reason to swap them out. The passive weapon boost shards mean you don't need to switch weapons out either until you find a new one of that type.
I can tell the bosses are supposed to have some sort of special attacks or strategy as I leisurely view the arena after they die within a minute...but I haven't seen them. I'm also rolling my eyes a bit at the female designs - for instance I'd like to know how transformation shards work, since right now the only thing I can tell the one I found does is give me more gratuitous cleavage.

So far I dislike the crafting and bosses, but love everything else. Can anyone recommend some kind of bullshit build that would let me brute force the bosses (if there is one)? I just beat (late game boss) David Hayter's second fight.
It looks graphically worse but that was to be expected.
However framerate seems OK? It seems satisfying enough to me. If I end up loving it and ever feel to go all bells and whistles I'll double dip on PC later down the line.
I'm surprised by how different the Switch version looks when comparing them side by side. I expected low res and maybe some performance hitches but even the basic lighting looks pretty different. And of course missing effects. It's not ruined or anything but it definitely took a big hit.
I guess I can say that Switch is a little moodier.

Same. And I say this as someone who's been playing the PS4 version. Switch version doesn't look offensive to me.
Thanks for this tip. Near the end of the game pretty much so just trying to max some things out. Don't think I have the shard for Gold unless that's the Pickpocket one?
Also does anyone know if you need a specific manual to be able to craft Rhava Velar? I don't see it anywhere on the list yet I see pretty much everything else.

Big downgrade technically, but I actually much prefer the look of the deck of the galleon without that obnoxiously bright specularity.
Gold Augment is a shard you get by upgrading the Luck Augment shard with Johannes. You get Luck Augment from Demon 81: Deathtrap.
Is this docked? I know the devs said a lot of effects would be toned down for portable play. It runs fine, but I know the Switch is far more capable than that.
FUCKING ZEE WORLDO !!!!!
That man is serious about his books. Just be glad that he doesn't drop a road roller on you.
Urg, I was taking the lore too seriously. Turns out selling any "excess" shards is stupid as they get stronger the more you carry (upto 9 of each)
Urrrrrrggg.
Time to farm them all back

Interesting. Do you do some comparisons for enemy models/effects?
I think I can deal with this lighting downgrade and only 30 FPS as long as it runs ok and everything else is on par.
Damn, seems like I will have to pick the game for PS4 then. That's a real bummer as I much enjoy playing metroidvanias on Switch.

The game itself is awesome-characters including their portraits, the talking and the story are highly uninteresting.
Game feels just right on hard, can´t even imagine how easy this is on normal, i am progressing very smooth on hard so far, got to be careful but all fine.

Finished it and currently on Hard mode. Easily a top 3 Igavania for me. Not sure if it beats Aria of Sorrow or Order of Ecclesia for me, but damn it's so good.
With an i7 8770k and 1080ti, running Epic settings, I was holding 144fps almost the entire time except for the boss right before the final boss. That surprisingly tanked my framerate sometimes to the 40s. But from what I saw, Switch is holding up reasonably well enough. Probably gonna double-dip on Switch sooner or later. Metroid: Samus Returns kinda proved that I'm fine with 30fps in Metroidvanias, but still.

I ran into a few bugs where I got stuck like this. Using a waystone would usually fix it, but still.I found a fun bug.
I could no longer jump, trapping me forever.
Techniques seem to be useless compare to shards. They use same MP pool but deal less dmg, also difficult input to trigger.
You are welcome, your avatar is from DOTT, i had to help for old times' sake ;)
Well, I lucked out it seems, and was able to get the silver bromide, despite starting the game on 1.01 and updating to 1.02. I'm about 7.5 hours into the game, and didn't really want to start over.
Game is fantastic so far. Exactly what I hoped it would be. So glad I backed it for sure. It really is what I imagine a console successor to SotN would be. I can't stop playing it. I can definitely see myself replaying this regularly, just like I did with Symphony.
