    Ok, this place is huge. I don't have a swimming ability yet so I can't go under the water. I just killed the two headed dragon and explored most of the tower and now I'm looking at the map and I'm saying, where the hell am I supposed to go? I am thoroughly lost and would not like to look up a walkthrough to figure out what to do next, a hint would be nice. With Double Jump and Flame Breath abilities where do I go now?

    Swimming is a shard from a normal water enemy.

    Oh come on! I forgot about the Well in the stupid Garden area. Now I have some progress to make.

    I just remembered I never downloaded the Iga boss fight. Think I’ll do that tonight.

    Switch Players Will Have To Wait A Little Longer For Bloodstained's Next Update

    That's pretty good for a kickstarter game.

    Neat!
    Seeing as how Dominique is a playable character and Miriam is not, I wonder if this will be a prequel.

    The original was in an alternative universe anyway, so anything is possible.

    That's cool and all...however..it is getting a lot further away from CV, and becoming more of its own thing. Again, that is fine...but the reason I liked the 1st was it was a spiritual successor to CV3. This has a mech in it? It looks good and fun. I will likely still check it out but....meh...

    I think it's a good thing. The series needs to grow beyond its roots, and getting us used to that with one of the spinoff games is a good idea. I also wouldn't want IntiCreates--founded by former Capcom staff, and more accustomed to making Mega Man--to get stuck making straight Castlevania clones.

    CV was very obviously running out of ideas toward the end, or at least the budget to implement new ideas, so it's hardly a bad thing that it's defacto replacement is doing new stuff.

    Just started playing Ritual of the Night and Google has not been very helpful on this question. I feel I should be able to recognize them, but whose portrait is hanging in the same room as...
    Wil Wheaton and Jake Gyllenhaal

    I love that they’re getting so much mileage out of this game, but what I really want is a sequel.

    That will still be a ways off. They have a roadmap of promised DLC and upgrades for this game, and they're not done with that yet.
