"Bloodstained" is a sidescroller action RPG with a lot to discover, with all the best features you know and have come to love from the Metroidvania genre, in a single game packed with content. You'll play as Miriam, an orphan whose body, after being cursed by an alchemist, slowly turns into crystal. To save herself, and thus all of humanity, she must fight her way through a castle infested with demons summoned by her old friend Gebel, whose body is now more crystal than flesh.

Features: Dense and challenging addictive gameplay with an extensive new gothic dark fantasy style story by Koji Igarashi, the acclaimed pope of "Igavania" games. Game soundtrack by genre and industry veteran Michiru Yamane, performed by a real orchestral ensemble. Intermediate scenes and interactions with NPCs are soundtracked by real star voice actors, including actors such as David Hayter, Ray Chase, and Erica Lindbeck, to name a few. A total of three playable characters, two of which are secret... so far. Literally a ton of weapons and spells that can be upgraded, enhanced and visually customized. Gorgeous 2.5-D graphics: Lovingly designed 3-D models for a 2-D game world. This means a lot of cool tricks that "normal" 2-D can't do....
