E3 2016: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Helps Keep Classic Side-scrolling Adventuring Alive

Deep Silver didn’t have a whole lot to show at this year’s E3, but they did manage to put out a new demo for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night from Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi. Thanks to Nintendo World Report for getting the video up.

The game, which raised an incredible $5,545,991 on Kickstarter, features classic side-scrolling Metrovania gameplay that should delight both old school gamers and those looking for a break from the endless tirade of shooters and brawlers. Although, to make a slight criticism, the music in the demo below is goddamn annoying! But at least the trailers for the game don’t feature a narrator insinuating that anime fans are unable to get girlfriends like the one for Mighty No. 9 did.
