Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night on mobile is more than a straight port

iOS and Android owner's Metroidvania libraries are about to get a whole lot spookier, thanks to an upcoming port of Koji Igarashi's Castlevania-inspired Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. After a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2015, the action-platformer released in 2019 for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch to positive fan and critical reception. Now, Chinese developer NetEase Games (Diablo Immortal, The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War) are bringing Bloodstained to mobile platforms via iOS and Android.
It isn't just a straight port, either, as NetEase is introducing a whole host of tweaks and improvements to make skeleton-smashing on mobile every bit as fun as it should be.
The port is set to feature "operation screens suitable for mobile devices, a redesigned system UI, skill shard icons, and a new achievement system." Skill shards and weapon skills, say NetEase, will be displayed on-screen with new "Gothic-style" icons. NetEase is also making it easier to perform special moves, alongside various other tweaks to make Bloodstained run as smooth as possible. You can check out all the details here.
