In my opinion, having the controls explained to you is preferable to having none of them explained. Just look at Mighty No. 9, that game does a really poor job of telling the player what they can and can't do and use. I've seen lots of videos where people didn't know you could use these health refills from the pause menu because the game doesn't bother telling you about them; another example is Dynatron's stage, where you learn about crouch-dashing only when it becomes relevant in that stage, for a section filled with cheap instant-death obstacles.
Anyways, onto other things. I really like how nuanced the gameplay looks in the demo; how the weapons seem to differ in effectiveness based on different types of enemies, like the Kung-fu shoes are more effective on the Dullahammer than on the Seamas, or how there's different weakspots on the larger enemies. Same goes for the shards, as seen with how Whirlpool is super-effective against the Amys (almost sounds like I'm talking about Pokemon here). It really opens the game up for experimentation, which I find really enticing.
It's all these little touches that really help in making me excited for when the game comes out, as it shows that this game is a real labour of love.
And I love the enemy designs, so much personality to them. I have no problem with the Vepar's huge knockers, as when you look at it from a profile view, the big stomach(-face) and hanging breasts give it a resemblance to a pregnant woman, and considering Vepar at some point during the level spawns some enemies, I find it very fitting. (Plus I like them big, I'm a pig like that, not gonna deny it). The boss could do with some changes to the colours though, make it blend in better with the other enemies, that bright blue really sticks out.
Other than that, music's great, graphics are great, overall a very pleasing appetiser for what's to come.

Salutations, I am Nobutron. If I were to describe myself it would be:Transformers enthusiast, Gundam maniac, lazy-bum of an artist, and aspiring librarian-to-be.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was my third (and so far latest) kickstarter I ever backed, the other two being Mighty No.9 (to my current regret and disappointment), and the Trueforce Mega Man X figure (which I'm very pleased with).
