Castlevania

Things aren’t going to well for Konami lately. The company has been under heavy fire due to removing Hideo Kojima’s name from the Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain final cover art in the past few days but it seems like something else is going to bring quite a bit of criticism for the Japanese publisher.

Earlier today the Japanese company announced a brand new entry of the Castlevania series, one of the more popular series released by Konami. Unfortunately this new game is not what fans of the series expected to see as it’s a pachinko game featuring “Erotic Violence”. If you haven’t completely lost heart by reading this and want to see more of this Castlevania pachinko game, you can check out a teaser trailer right below.

Thing don’t look too good for the Castlevania series. The latest entry of the series to get released in all regions was Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, developed by Mercury Steam. The game brings a close to the story started in the first game but it has failed to be as good as its predecessor due to some weird design choices. The game is still a decent third person game, just not as good as the first one. Since its release, there has been no talk about a possible new Castlevania game, not counting the new pachinko game.

Those looking for some good old school Castlevania action would do well in keeping an eye on Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, an upcoming game currently in development by the former Castlevania series producer Koji Igarashi. The game, which has been fully funded with a Kickstarter campaign that’s been incredibly successful, will feature the Metroidvania gameplay experience fans of Castlevania love, with players exploring locations, defeat enemies and bosses, collect and craft items and more.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night seems like will be the only way to experience the Castlevania gameplay formula in the future, judging by what Konami is doing with the franchise. We will keep you updated on the game as soon as more comes in on it so stay tuned for all the latest news.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
