So, I'm 99% positive no one has talked about this Metroidvania inspired title yet, so... here it is. ...and XombieMike if this thread *does* already exist somewhere and I just missed it, just let me know and I'll delete this one. c:So GRIM GUARDIANS is a Metroidvania inspired 2D platformer video game created by INTI Creates, that was conceived to my knowledge roughly around November/December-ish of 2022, and basically looks like Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin had a love baby, with two female protagonists. The plot of the story, is that you play as two sisters, Shinobu Kamizono, (long-range machine gun user) and Maya Kamizono. (short range brawler) The two sisters whom are demon hunters, are trying to find their way back to their school, only to find that it has transmutated into a foreboding demon castle. Some features include: - Switching between sisters in between and mid combat, each with their own respective health and sub-weapons/abilities, - Rescue function; should one sister fall in battle, take control of the other, return to the area with the downed sister, and resuscitate them to continue your adventure, - Multiple difficulties, - Beautiful gothic horror aesthetic, Etc.You can find more information on their official website here: link
And you can find the main gameplay trailer here: But yeah just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention. I think the game looks very well done, and I can't wait to purchase it and give it a proper try for myself. The game is going for $24.99 USD on the Nintendo eshop right now, but for whatever reason physical copies (Switch, PS4, PS5) are $39.99?? So I would recommend going with digital, but if you like it enough, you might want to opt for physical. Anyway, it's a beautiful night to have a curse, huh?

yulan No worries...! And thank you, I *am* a super fan...! Not much to tell. I backed at thte $300 tier cause I wasn't around during the actual kickstarter campaign, and had to choose a slacker backer option. (The $500 map tier didn't seem worth it imo since the map would just be uploaded to Bing anyway) Had I been around during the campaign I would have slowly built up my pledge to probably much, MUCH higher tiers. I sorta get a rush from crowdfunding so. I am currently anticipating updates from a movie Indigogo called 'Free Fall 2'. Already donated at least $575 to that one, ehehehe. ^^;

purifyweirdshard Yeah I backed at the $300 tier so I was wondering. :] I'll check out the survey right now...! Thank you so much for being so helpful, purifyweirdshard ...! You have no idea how much it means to me. Also thank YOU, tav7623 ...! You've all been very helpful. I plan to be much more active on the forum again, let's all keep things going strong.

ALSO
While we're at it, maybe you, ( purifyweirdshard) and Angel-Corlux could answer some quick Q & A for me??? So since the last time I looked at the kickstarter, there's been like...literally 10 new updates, I'll try to keep this as concise and short as possible. I was wondering: 1. I play the PS4 version, and noticed that there is already DLC available, but I don't seem to have access to it. The 'IGA's BACK' DLC for example, is retailing for $9.99 on the PS4 store, and I thought it came available for me as a backer from the initial kickstarter??? (I have no qualms buying it, but just an honest thought. ) 2. I've only had 1 update on BLOODSTAINED: RITUAL OF THE NIGHT PS4 edition. Is this all that is available as of right now? 3. The only thing I've received in the mail is my physical edition of Bloodstained, along with the backer slip cover. Is everything above correct as of this date? If there are items still being shipped out and updates still being worked on, then that is totally fine, and I don't wanna make a fuss...! It's just... When you haven't seen an update in a long time, they all sorta barrage you at once hahaha. "This is happening.", then "...this isn't happening.", then "THIS is being worked on.", then "THIS is being worked on, but just for these platforms; this platform will come at X date." … it's total sensory overload ahahaha.

purifyweirdshard I beat the boss without getting the shard, then saved, because I didn't think he had one.

Mr. Welldone Yes, I have actually. Sorry to not clarify. I've just about gotten 100% completion, minus the Godmaster content. I played around with it a little bit, but as another user said, not too keen on boss rush/artificial SUPER TOUGH varients of bosses. freddythemonkey YES. I LOOOOVE HK. I'll add you on the forum, we can geek out about it some time. Also no, I didn't finish all the Godmaster content. Fuck. And. That. ahahahaha. I played it a little bit, but for me the game was already pretty difficult as it was; it was virtually impossible for me to beat a boss without taking at least 2-3 hits; with the exception of the Dung Defender .

Hey all. How is everyone doing? Been a solid couple of weeks since I even LOOKED at the forum. I hope you are all doing well. So I'm on hard mode, and I'm trying to do a 100% run of the game, but I noticed in my Bestiary that there's an optional boss I didn't obtain a shard from, (whom I won't spoil) and after reading different sources learned the shard is called CHISEL BARRAGE. Is there any other way I can obtain this? I've looked on wikis and FAQs and other media sources, and they all seem to say the same thing; that there aren't any missables as far as anyone can tell. (Outside of password items obtained in the beginning) Any insight I'm unaware of?? (Also purifyweirdshard if there is already a thread for this, feel free to merge it. I used the 'Search' option but 'Missables' didn't pop up so)

Hollow Knight, for me, is in a special category of games that would almost certainly be in my Top 10 if they didn't have spiders in them. With other games in that category, like Donkey Kong Country 2 or Resident Evil: HD Remaster, I have ways of coping with it. When you have to play as Squitter in DKC2, I can squint and look at the edges of the screen. With RE, if there's a room with giant spiders, I can just close my eyes and peek at the map when I need to. Hollow Knight's different. There really isn't a practical way of avoiding all those spiders that crawl along the screen in Deepnest, not to mention the eggsacs that explode or the spider enemies that emerge from the foreground. That's one big reason why I'm hugely excited for Silksong. Since it takes place in a new kingdom, it seems unlikely that they'd just do another Deepnest. Oh dang. Everyone has their kryptonite, huh? Yeah the new kingdom looks spectacular. And the plethora of new abilities, areas, enemy AIs, I'm super pumped for it. Team Cherry definitely refined their talent on this one, and really flexed their chops. I'm also super intrigued as to how this game will correlate with the original, as I've gotten all the endings in that one and know the game quite, quite well. :0

Lepstadder Hm... Could that be how the poker chips fall into place? Perhaps Valefor doesn't have a lot of money when you first meet him, but at some point between your first and second encounters, he ends up winning a ridiculously lucky series of poker games and becomes the bazillionaire we see in Curse of the Moon. That's clever. Not chronologically sound as CotM and RotN aren't necessarily in different timelines, nor is one a sequel of the other but yeah. Good insight.

Hollow knight is excellent, I am still playing it. The art style, the gameplay, the music, the athmosphere - everything is amazing! I am looking forward to the sequel. I would have liked if Bloodstained was similar. I prefer this 2D style of game than 3D from Bloodstained. Team Cherry is made of just 2-3 people and they have done a fantastic job, Hollow knight is praised by everyone. Yeah it's gotten pretty good reviews. Didn't know Team Cherry was only like 2-3 people though. That must be an immense workload. :0 Especially with the amount of content that is packed into Hollow Knight, what with the original game, and the DLC and all that.

Way to go team Cherry, you promise DLC and accidentally make a whole new game. Like... who does that...? anyway...
I'm actually super pumped about this. Hollow Knight was an EXCELLENT Metroidvania style adventure game. In this one you get to play as HORNET, a recurring boss and optional ally in the original Hollow Knight. Thoughts?

Ipos, Valefor, Ipos are the sigils on the ground The only negative I can say about this design has nothing to do with the boss itself. I think I just wish his boss location made more sense for the character. In Curse of the moon there was piles of gold and it looked like a location he'd be in. This looks like the garden area which thematically seems kinda strange for this boss. I like when the bosses fit the locations they are in but it's a nitpick honestly. CastleDan It looks like the boss battle takes place on a poker table.

That box art is absolutely stunning. I am FLABBERGASTED by how reminiscent of old Castlevania art it is. Reminds me a bit of the box art for Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. :0

I am fine with this, I prefer the game to have more quality. There are still many games I have to play on Switch that I just don't have time for, and now I got some time while waiting for Bloodstained. I wish SotN would be somehow released on Switch as well. Fun idea, not sure if it's possible tho, what with SotN being on PS. Not even VC can bring it on that I'm aware of. :/

That would be a fun idea. Aria and Dawn of Sorrow had a similar mechanic where one could get special items immediately upon new game in Dawn if Aria was inserted into the GBA slot. You're talking about something like this, right? BlueWyzerd

Unfortunately I highly doubt Miriam will have much of a chance in being in Smash for quite a while, as Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is the only game in its series thus far.
