A fun platformer side-scroller and a great love letter to Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.

It has beautiful retro pixelart and an amazing level design. The character switching mechanic has a variety of strategies involving the unique abilities of each team member.
The game also gives the possibility of a more challenging solo run, or with a limited team, depending who the players decides to recruit.

The bosses turn out to be pretty easy once you learn the patterns, but that doesn't detract from the fun of the game that much.

I recommend it to everyone who enjoys the work of IGA and who grew up playing Castlevania, as Bloodstained is, in fact, its spiritual successor.
