Product Manuals

Q: does this come with the ps4 and switch versions of this game? or does it just come with the switch version and has a spot to hold the ps4 game or any ps4 game? i know the steelbook is included

A: Its only the switch version you are purchasing but the bonus steelbook can hold your ps4,xbox, or a blu ray disc not really sure why you gotta purchase the switch version to get it should be available for all systems.

Q: about the steelbook? does it come with the other versions, because the only version the website says it comes with is the switch version, and i want the ps4 version.

A: No, it does not come in PS4 Version.

Q: The other questions & answers suggest that the steel book has a spot for holding a ps4, xbox one or bluray disc. My question is, does it also have a spot for holding the switch cartridge? Also, when you buy this, do you get the regular plastic case too?

A: Yes it does.

Q: I preordered/purchased this. I picked up the game and no steelbook. I complained and I was told to contact the 800 number, no luck. BB ran an ad which stated if pre ordered you'd receive the steelbook, and told me sorry and offered $5 gift card, horrible!

A: Honestly the steelbook was a ripoff. it was premade for a disc and the switch cart insert continuously falls out.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Amazing game but flawed version.
As you would know by now, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a Castlevania Symphony of the night clone, and a very good one. The game mechanics, presentation, action is very good. The story is interesting, and presented in a good way. The draw back to the Switch version is it runs in a lower resolution, and has graphical glitches. Hopefully will be patched later on. But if you want to play on the go this is the only way to go.

Low frame rates steelbook is trash
So the port is bad to the switch 30fps compare to 60 for ps4/Xbox 720p compare to 1080 Oh the steelbook. Is a ps4/Xbox one. They just switched the plastic to hold a switch game. I know they came with the game could you be any cheaper . It’s like putting lipstick on a pig. It’s still an ugly pig.

Fun But Flawed
This much maligned Switch version Of Bloodstained isn’t nearly as bad of a port as it’s made out to be online, especially after a number of fixes present thanks to the latest patch. Sure, there are frame rate issues every now and again, and the visuals aren’t quite as good as they are on the PS4 and Xbox One versions, but the ability to play Bloodstained portably on the Switch makes this the definitive copy to get in my opinion. As for the gameplay itself, it’s a Metroid-vania style game courtesy of Koji Igarashi, the man behind perhaps the best Castelvania game of all time (Symphony of the Night), so all of the different systems and RPG elements should be familiar to people that have played this style of game before. For the uninitiated, what that means is a compelling mix of combat and platforming, with the added intrigue of character progression via leveling up and character customization with items. The shard system in particular is interesting, allowing you to really hone your character in based on your play style, be it with items that grant you huge bonuses for lumbering greatsword attacks, or stats that benefit a long range gunplay strategy. The items are designed in such a way that they rarely feel like simple upgrades, instead offering different bonuses for different sorts of play styles, leaving it largely up to the player to decide what sort of demon slayer they’d like to be. All of these things come together in a package that winds up being pretty fun and addicting, albeit with a few technical hiccups here and there. It’s not an overly long game, but thanks to a tough but fair difficulty level and a whole host of side missions and extra items out there, it doesn’t feel scarce content-wise. If you listen to everyone else on the internet, this Switch version should be avoided. But in my opinion it’s the sort of game that feels uniquely well suited to play on the go in bite size increments, jumping from one save point to another in the space of 10 or 15 minutes. In short, this game is fun and you should buy it, and that recommendation goes doubly if it’s on sale at all. It’s a heck of a lot of fun despite some minor blemishes, and it’s the closest thing to a real Castelvania game that we’re going to get at the moment.
