Theme from Miriam
Publisher 505 Games and developer ArtPlay have shared some more footage of the incoming “Classic Mode,” heading into gothic platforming adventure Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night next month.
In Classic mode, Miriam takes Hellhold and his controls of the darkness into old-school 2D platforming, similar to the fine Castlevania titles of the SNES era. Fans of said games will immediately recognize the gameplay style in the tweet below, which features footage of Miriam climbing stairs, leaping gorges, crushing candlesticks and taking on an army of monsters armed with a deadly whip. Simon would be very proud indeed.
Classic Mode is one of the many free DLC additions released for Stained with blood: Ritual of the night since its first launch in 2019. Igarashi’s crowdfunding-funded adventure has since received alternate protagonists, Randomizer and Boss Revenge modes, as well as a mobile port. More content is expected in 2021, including further stability updates for the Nintendo Switch edition.
The Classic mode brings back old-school gameplay as you fight through five levels of demons and challenge Gebel’s deadly bosses.
The new mode will be released for free in January!#BloodstainedROTN pic.twitter.com/8a76P7nVEp
