If you’ve been playing games for almost any length of time, chances are you know about the Castlevania series. Even if you haven’t played any of the games yourself, the influence that Castlevania has had on gaming is tremendous. There’s a reason we call games with an emphasis on exploration and upgrading your skills “Metroidvania”.

Koji Igarashi is best known for his work on many of those same games. Of course, like many other developers he has moved on from Konami. And he’s taken his love for the 2.5D action genre with him. Enter Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night. While the game is still very early, it seems to be the same situation that led to Mighty No. 9. In fact, Inti Creates is helping with the game. For those that don’t know, Inti Creates made Mega Man 9 and are also doing Mighty No. 9. Even Michiru Yamane is set to compose the score for the game, as he has done for countless other Castlevania games.

The setup for Ritual of the Night is rather familiar. At the end of the 18th century, some alchemists made a guild called….wait for it…the Alchemist’s Guild. Being a guild, naturally they got way to power hungry and started trying to combat the rise of science. Apparently, they thought that using children to lure demons to Earth would be a good way to accomplish this. To nobody’s surprise, the Guild vanishes, a castle filled with demons appear and its up to you to go kick some ass.

While this might not be the most unique setup for a game, I don’t care. Bloodstained looks to bring back the traditional Castlevania style in a gorgeous new package. Since being crowdfunded to the tuned of $500,000 the game has been confirmed for PS4, Xbox One  and PC. Now, which will you choose when you pick up the game?
