    I would enjoy the game a lot better without having to listen to the tinny distorted music blasting my ears out just to hear the sound effects. The game has no slider options to change the levels of music and sound effects and as a result the music way too loud. I know it's hipping cool with all the young kids say how much they love the old school 80s 8-bit music but as someone who livesI would enjoy the game a lot better without having to listen to the tinny distorted music blasting my ears out just to hear the sound effects.

I know it's hipping cool with all the young kids say how much they love the old school 80s 8-bit music but as someone who lives through that our I'm a bit sick of it I have finished every Castlevania game including the PS2 games and kojima 3D games. But I cannot sit through this with this horrible music.… Expand

    Curse of the Moon 2 feels like a bit of a step back by a renowned director who was in over his head regarding appropriate game design. There's always a clear line between challenging but fair and frustratingly cheap. That line had immediately been crossed in the game's latter half, with difficulty spikes galore. It's otherwise just more of the same classic retro 8-bit goodness.

    It's the perfect first game with new characters, scenarios, and a great multiplayer mode.

    A real Master Piece for the old school gamers.

    Classic Castelvania returns, perfect sequel with high replayability and good for Speedrunning.

    A classic is back! Bloodstained curse of the Moon 2 returns with a very good pool of characters, good looking scenarios and a extended content compared with his antecessor. The music is good for a "retro* game, the difficult spike is weird, this Game is hard compared with his antecessor.

    Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is clearly a love letter to the NES Castlvania games. Players who have played the original know exactly what they’re getting into here, although the sequel is overall an improved experience. Making 8-bit retro style games isn’t as novel a concept as it was several years when these type of titles were popping up in the indie game scene but Curse of the Moon 2 is an example of one of the better executions of this concept. Iga may be irritated with the constant Castlvania comparisons Bloodstained titles receive since the latter is filled with an interesting new world and lore but they also recreate the everything great about the former. A proper sequel to Ritual of the Night is what Bloodstained fans are really wanting to sink their teeth into, but Curse of the Moon 2 helps solidify Bloodstained as its own franchise and is a great game on its own merits for fans of retro games.
