Dual-wielding should mean twice the difficulty...I don't want to feel like I am whipping enemies into nothingness and just breezing trough the castle like a cake walk...lol. I do love the art and the thought of dual-whips That's new and intriguing to me.

I'll just repeat what I said in the other thread, word for word. _goofball

There COULD be dual wielding, but concept art is notoriously unreliable when trying to figure out what gameplay mechanics there will be in the game. Personally, rather than two "hand" equipment slots where any weapon can go, I'd rather have a "weapon" slot, and some sort of "magic" slot, where a different kind of power goes. Along with weapon set switching, of course.

Like what Soma had, I guess.

Meh, I never liked that set up.

I always thought it was cool to equip two different swords in Order of Ecclesia and in SOTN. I also liked how SOTN you can have a defensive weapon in one hand and a sword in the other. Why can't they bring that back? It just makes sense to have a shield and a sword, or whip and a sword. Just make the enemies harder to compensate.

I also never cared for spells being a one button press sorta deal. It just felt too simple. I loved how SOTN gave you really cool spells that you had to master with button inputs. It feels cooler whenever you pulled one off instead of just pressing....TRIANGLE or something.

That's just my opinion though. We all love igavania's for different reasons

You know what would be funny?

If, like in the Japanese Sega Saturn version of SotN, Miriam would get a third hand slot for weapons. _goofball

Triple-wielding? *Looks as Roronoa Zoro*

Curse you, Alucard!

Definitely going to be dual-wielding a sword and a whip now.

This isn't all that surprising, actually. Alucard Dual Wielded if you gave it to him, so I'm not picturing this as a matter of a shock. Even OoE had dual wielding of her spells with one special.

It's good to hear though, regardless.

They gave a free code on the official Kickstarter Bloodstained page, so you can read it on Magzter for 1 year if you insert this code.

Bloodstained in Print!

Destructoid and GameFan are collaborating to put out two magazines in one! More exciting still, for people who have fond memories of sneaking gaming magazines to school and reading them instead of getting your work done, it's available *in print*.

The most exciting part, since you're reading this update: Bloodstained made the cover of the inaugural issue of Destructoid magazine! On the outside, exclusive art from Natsume-san himself; on the inside, Jonathan Holmes has a brand new interview with Koji Igarashi.

You can buy the print version here—keep it in the space you've reserved for your giant Bloodstained merchandise collection!—but if you can't wait to read it they were kind enough to offer a free digital look at the whole magazine(s). Just go to Magzter and enter the promo code "DTOID0215."

The cover art surely supports it.

(EDIT): It's alright that dual-wielding isn't an actual feature. I'm still excited for the rest of the features!

Just to book end this thread, dual weilding will not be in game as revealed in the Operation Akumajo 30th Anniversary interview with IGA.

Also, the full artwork featured on the Destructoid cover is available in the art section.
