![]() Bosses range from twin headed dragons to small anthropomorphic Lizards and Peacocks. Some of these cheats can allow the player to use Ultimate Zangetsu instead of normal Zangetsu, increase the difficulty or allow the player to have infinite weapon points for their sub-weapons.īoss Battles: Every stage in Bloodstained: CotM caps off with a boss fight to test your skills. ![]() Despite that, there are cheat codes which can be used to augment boss rush mode to add diversity. There are limited sub-weapons and health items during this mode therefore the player must use them wisely. Boss rush is a gauntlet of every boss in the game back-to-back. The trade-off is that Zangetsu has his ultimate form giving him unique skills. In addition to the story mode offered, there are additional modes such as Nightmare Mode, in which you play as Miriam, Alfred and Gebel and Ultimate mode, a harder version of the game with bosses being harder to kill. There are a total of 6 main endings for the story mode. Endings are obtainable by recruiting, ignoring or killing recruitable characters throughout the story. Replayability and game modes: Whilst Bloodstained: CotM is a relatively short game consisting of 8 main stages, the game offers a plethora of replayability due to the large abundance of game modes and the number of different available endings. Due to the large number of shortcuts available in stages, every character is given the chance to be used and exploited for their strengths. Miriam can traverse through small gaps by using her slide ability this acts as a shortcut to skip many difficult sections but can also lead to permanent stat upgrades. Whilst each character is unique, they also provide access to shortcuts and secrets in the levels. When all 4 characters are combined, they can be used to overcome all obstacles in the game. Gebel’s attack releases 3 bats which arc upwards allowing the player to hit enemies above. Alfred has a very short attack range and weak damage but has utility with his very powerful spells which can act as a shield to block enemy attacks. Miriam has a higher jump and a longer attack range due to using a whip and a slide. Zangetsu acts as a fast attacking sword user. The main benefit of having 4 playable characters is the diversity they bring to the game as each character has their own benefits and drawbacks and can be swapped when required. As Zangetsu journeys throughout the land, he can recruit 3 additional characters: Miriam, Alfred and Gebel. They can be used offensively and defensively whilst also being used for utility throughout the stage in regards to secrets and shortcuts.įour Playable Characters: Bloodstained: CotM starts with the player using Zangetsu as the primary main character. Whilst the straight forward use for sub-weapons would normally be considered as an offensive item, Bloodstained: COTM breaks the general trend by opting to incorporate many uses for sub-weapons. This allows access to hard to reach locations or shortcuts available in the stage. Many other sub weapons can be used for utility, such as Gebel’s Bat form which allows him to fly. The ice attack can also be used to freeze rivers or lava which will shatter upon being attacked to reveal secret passages. Additionally, frozen enemies also act as a physical platform to jump to a hard to reach location. Attacking the frozen enemies will insta-kill them. This ice attack is a projectile which freezes all enemies in its path. ![]() ![]() For example, Alfred, the mage, can obtain an ice attack. Sub-weapons offer tremendous utility and allows for combination with primary attacks to navigate through platforms or kill bosses. This means that players will have to strategize and only take a sub-weapon from a blue lantern if it will be effective for latter sections of a stage. Furthermore, whilst a character can only hold 1 sub-weapon at a time, there are a total of 3 or 4 different sub-weapons (Excluding Gebel) which can be used to help clear out certain sections of a stage. To supplement this primary attack, every character can get sub-weapons which can be used to cover the weaknesses of a character’s main weapon. Sub-Weapons/Utility: Every character has a primary attack, which utilizes their on-hand weapon such as a sword or whip. The player will come across 3 unique allies throughout the adventure and traverse through 8 uniquely themed levels destroying demons and bosses along the way. The player takes on the role of Zangetsu, a man who hates demons and must locate and destroy Gremory, the Duke of Hell. Bloodstained: COTM acts as a prequel story to Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon (CotM) is a retro platformer inspired by Castlevania.
