I was not one of them. I 200.6%’d the entire game on iOS with touch controls. Take that as you will in case I end up having no issues with the controls here either. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,964 717 113 England #5 psj3809, Dec 3, 2020 Bought it and downloading I'm a proper touchscreen fan, not a joypad fan so i'll let you know how it plays. Watched a few youtube videos, game looks great, quite a hefty filesize (wish i bought that 512 GB phone !) Had a quick go, lots of chatting at the beginning to get through. Joystick felt smooth, could slide left/right on it. Couple of buttons on the right.

Controls aren’t fantastic, but they work. Little clunky, but you get used to them. Graphics are much better than the Pocket Tactics review led me to believe. Can’t believe I have RotN in my pocket. My name better be in the credits because it looks like the backer code feature has been stripped out. sebgo likes this. Rocksaint Well-Known Member Nov 29, 2013 666 367 63 #7 Rocksaint, Dec 3, 2020 Weird that it's not a worldwide launch. Not available on the India App Store. Nekku Well-Known Member May 31, 2013 1,542 7 38 #8 Nekku, Dec 3, 2020 It has partial controller support. You still have to use the on screen buttons to navigate through the menu to equip gear, shards, etc. The on screen controls are also still visible while using a controller. Graphics are okay, I don’t know how it looks on console though so I can’t compare them. Playing on an iPhone XS and it „feels“ like 30fps if not a bit lower than that. Switching between low,mid, high settings doesn’t change anything regarding the framerate. That’s all I can say for now. Jstorm likes this.

TA's Mikhail and I noticed that India was one of the few countries this wasn't available for pre-order in and it sucks that that hasn't changed since then. :/ L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #11 L.Lawliet, Dec 3, 2020 I'm extremely tempted to get this but is it recommended if you're not really a fan of platformers / barely play Castlevania type games? Someone on Steam said they were like me and got hooked but it was just one person after all. I'm worried I'd play it for a couple hours then drop it. I got hooked on Dead Cells (which is somewhat of a similar genre) but it did get a bit too hard for me after clearing it the first couple times. Also, for anyone that has it, how's the iPhone heat / battery drain? Generally I want my mobile games to be "portable" so if it eats up too much battery I'd probably just rather get it on pc. agreen437 Well-Known Member Jun 12, 2014 1,701 222 63 #12 agreen437, Dec 3, 2020 Really cool ok thanks for the information agreen437 Well-Known Member Jun 12, 2014 1,701 222 63 #13 agreen437, Dec 3, 2020 I’m willing to give it a go does it require connection? yankeeblue000 likes this. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #14 squarezero, Dec 3, 2020 Just started playing it in max graphics settings and my iPhone 12 Pro did not warm up noticeably. As to the genre, this is definitely a spiritual sequel to Castlevania: SoN, but modernized in some ways. Unlike Dead Cells, Bloodstained is not a rogue-like, but more of a story-driven adventure. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #15 squarezero, Dec 3, 2020 Just tried it in airplane mode.

The game's supposedly bundled with all DLC so far, but in principle there SHOULD be paid DLC in the form of Iga's Backpack. I don't know why it would come with the game on iOS but be paid on other platforms. I say just go for it if you're on the fence because there's no way any IAP (if or when it comes) will be free to play bullshit. metalwastebasket Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2017 161 55 28 #18 metalwastebasket, Dec 3, 2020 Nothing like Dead Cells...the difficulty is far more forgiving and there's nothing remotely rogue-like to it. Battery drain is present, but there's no excessive heating on XS. I'd say it's pretty fantastically optimized. Moshfosh Well-Known Member Jun 1, 2013 97 21 8 #19 Moshfosh, Dec 3, 2020 It is a lot easier than metroidvania games. This wasn’t the creator’s first rodeo and he gave you a lot of leeway in customizing the game to suit your style and make it harder or easier to play. Once you get the ability to craft and upgrade weapons, you can very easily become an unkillable death machine if you so choose L.Lawliet likes this.
