‘Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night’ Headed to iOS And Android
After successfully filling that Castlevania niche for many PC and console gamers, Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night is turning to mobile. Publisher NetEase Games and developer ArtPlay have announced that the spiritual successor to Castlevania will hit iOS and Android devices “soon”.
The mobile version of Bloodstained will be a paid download, and support multiple languages. Also, much like what you’d expect from a mobile port of this nature, the mobile version will feature a mobile-optimized controls screen, a revamped system user interface, Skill Shard icons, and a new achievements system. Over 120 monsters and bosses, 107 weapons, and 23 weapon skills that appeared in the original game will appear in the mobile version.
With regards to the command-based techniques of the original release, a new mechanic based on the command method will be used that makes them easier to pull off in the mobile version. As a “one-up” over the console and PC versions, the mobile version will have a new shortcut button, allowing players to quickly change weapons and equipment.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam.
While not quite Snakes on a Plane or Red Eye, co-developers Liquid Static Studio and Snapping Turtle have something darker in mind with their upcoming job-sim horror game, Night Plane. Coming to Steam later this year, the game has you doing the expected work as a flight attendant, but with the added bonus of trying to find demons hiding amongst the passengers.
It’s 1999, and it’s your first day on the job. You must do the usual things as a flight attendant: welcoming passengers aboard, check tickets, and attend to their needs. However, shape-shifting entities may attempt to come aboard disguised as humans. So, your additional job in Night Plane is to question passengers, and find a way to remove any unauthorized non-human visitors from the plane.
That also leads to assisting passengers in unorthodox ways inside the plane, outside the plane, and in places not listed in your training manual. To make things even more complicated, you’ll need to make tough decisions with irreversible consequences. Naturally, the company will not be held accountable for any mistakes you make. You live with them.
Oh, and seeing as this is a plane, you may encounter some turbulence while in flight, along with power failures, lightning strikes and more. All of which, including your decisions, will lead to one of the multiple endings in Night Plane.
