Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon is a wonderfully clever idea. If Ritual of the Night is a riff on the classic Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, how brilliant the developers at Inti Creates must have felt when they thought of creating an homage to Castlevania 3: Dracula’s Curse to serve as its stage-setting prequel. As a bonus for a Kickstarter stretch goal it could have been left at that, as a clever “I see what you did there” concept wrapped around a merely so-so game. Thankfully, it’s much better than you might expect.
