Who would buy a Bloodstained strategy guide?

Why is not already some to buy? 😋😋

I don't think a strategy guide in this day and age would be necessary. Now a hardcover lore book like Zelda's Hyrule Historia on the other hand, I'd buy it.

*Glances at 100% everything and all achievements gained* We need a strategy guide?

Of course i would buy one, as long as it can be digital! Unfortunately, the strategy guide i received from survey, was few page long, had only a short rundown on characters and screen menus and guess what? The castle map is only HALF, in there!

So yes, unfortunately, i would need to buy a strategy guide, after all (as long as it is correct and complete)!

Yea I was definitely never expecting it to be this massive thing. But I figured they'd go over the bosses alil and some in depth tips and what not at least.

Yes, but... HALF the map? Not even 1x map? And only 2 cheats and 1 tip... That's a manual, really (not complaining, though, the game, any game, can certainly use one, like, always)!

Having looked a bit at the PDF booklet, I now want an Igavania System to be real

Like another user said, a strategy guide in this day and age is fairly redundant (and with patches - soon obsolete). A guide would be nice for collectors and hardcore fans, but largely a waste of resources.

What I think would be a better alternative, would be a limited run Bloodstained 'archive', full of the history of the project, production and character notes, location breakdowns, concept art and anything that was scrapped/left on the cutting room floor.

I would definitely buy a hardcover guide for both games combined if it was up to the same quality as what Future Press can put out.

Or even better what silentsanctum said. A Third Editions style retrospective, archive style book that details everything, the how, the why and all sorts of trivia from the development process over the last four years.
