Customers are saying

Customers find value in the tight gameplay, fun characters, and responsive controls of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon. Many appreciate the classic side-scrolling action and the multiple characters, each with unique abilities. The game's difficulty is also highlighted, with options for both casual and veteran players. However, some customers feel the price is a bit high, especially for the physical release.

    Very lovingly crafted throwback to 2D Castlevania games of the past, don’t get this confused for the other Bloodstained game which is a 2.5D style game, though it’s also a great game for Castlevania fans as well.

    Feels exactly like it should, an 8 bit Castlevania clone, and there's nothing more i wanted from it. Tight controls. Great NES-style visuals. Fantastic soundtrack. Brutally difficult. Well worth a purchase.

    If you're a fan of the Castlevania series for the original NES, especially Castlevania III, you'll definitely appreciate this game. While not quite as polished as those games were it is certainly worthy of a play through. The boss fights are especially good. The soundtrack is adequate but no specific tune aside from the title screen music is as memorable as some of the original Castlevania games.

    I bought this in addition to the digital download of the game. It's very fun with an old school NES castevania feel. I haven't opened as I bought it as a collectors item but the packaging appears nice.

    If you like Shovel Knight, be sure to check this one out. It’s a near-perfect homage to Castlevania III, but with modern conveniences like save files. It’s a ton of fun!

    The best 8-bit castlevania that never was. A really solid retro platformer that's not long but has legitimate replability thanks to multiple characters and endings.

    Great game if you are into the old NES Castlevania games specifically Castlevania III Dracula's Curse. The game is a bit short, but has multiple routes you can take to get to the end and multiple endings to unlock. Admittingly I would recommend the digital version over the physical version due the the high price.

    This is a great callback to the original 3 castlevania games on NES. The game has similar controls and an excellent soundtrack. Worth it!
