Bloodstained:RotN Hack 4.3 + Redeem Codes

I usually don’t complain, but my main issue is there are times I’m at the start of boss fight, and tried to skip and game will crash, same thing when I went to kill Gebel early in the game, because I’m playing blindly and never realized that was the end, after the credits, game won’t load anymore, please fix this, it’s not worth of $10 if the game is full of bugs, I’d rather go back to my Sotn, that game is perfect even transferred in iOS, so please fix them. And can u guys add like arrow keys for movements instead of analog, the weapon skills are hard to perform even there’s shortcut, in sotn ios i can perform like 50 - 80 gravity boots jump with the librarian without problems, my point is i know this is ios platform but graphics in game we don’t care that much, but performance wise like skill and the 8-bit boots omg is like sliding in ice before u can run. Loading and some minor bugs are ok and we are paying even how many dlc u guys put as long as u guys fix major problems asap.

I waited until they said they would be updating the issues with frame rate and poorly optimized controls. There is a good game here, that I want to play and finish, but can't in it's current state. There are plenty of games that I can play proficiently with virtual controls. For similar games like Dead Cells, I can beat the game only using virtual controls. The jump button is like shooting dice. Sometimes it registers, lots of times it doesn't. Or it will register I pressed jump, but only for a moment. Maneuvering around enemies is a crap-shoot, and further into the castle, platforming becomes crucial, and 30% of the time I jump, it only registers for a moment, resulting in a short jump, which can mean falling all the way to the bottom of the structure you are trying to ascend. Even when staring at the positions of the virtual controls, and seeing I definitely pressed it, it still won't register. For me it is unplayable after advancing through the cathedral. It results in a lot of death because dodging (sticking with the previous analogies) is a gamble. I would give the developers a break if there weren't a ton of games with virtual controls that do work, but that isn't the case.

Doesn’t start anymore. Thought the issue was stage manager screwing things up, but disabling it only gets me as far as some weird prompt asking to confirm pasting something from Safari before crashing me back to the Home Screen anyway. Since I bought this almost a year ago, official support through the official Apple channels isn’t allowing me to address this issue behind the scenes, so my only hope is that someone sees the problem here and takes the necessary steps to fix it. Or get a refund.

Also, although it was nice of the developer to include controller support, it’s not full controller support; the touchscreen action buttons don’t disappear when the game detects a controller connected to the device, and you still have to touch the screen to open up the game’s menu instead of pressing a physical button on the controller, which can easily spell life or death when you know you can’t dodge an attack and you need to pause to access your healing items.

Great game, but it’s insulting to ship it with controller support this lackluster. From the first, the game lies to you: “Click anywhere”; it’s a touchscreen, the controller doesn’t work there, and you can only tap on those words and nowhere else. From then it continues. Menus can’t be navigated and screen buttons barely dim (and sometimes don’t at all). There are so many menus, and I have to set my controller down and reach out and touch the screen each time I get a new weapon or shard, which happens every minute or so. Shameful.

But, again, great game. I keep playing because the game is great, even if I have to keep moving my hand off the controller to tap the screen.

It is a great game, you will enjoy if you like Castlevania (the story is literally: demons are spawning from a Castle). The maps are well designed, as in complex enough but not that will get lost. Graphically, it’s pretty especially on Epic resolution at 60fps. The combat system is familiar and enjoyable, it’s not reinventing the wheel by any means. The game does what it’s advertising itself to be.

So now the criticism (hopefully constructive if the devs bother to read):

1. The controller support… feels like it was dumped on the guy who drew the short straw on before Christmas eve. First of all, there is no layout description, so if you play with controller just press buttons until stuff happens (FYI, up opens chess, your welcome dear reader). The controller doesn’t work anywhere beside the game itself: not in the title screen, not in the menu screen, npc shop menu… oh, and you can’t even open or close menu with the controller. I tested with both the ps4 controller and the razer kishi. You would think that this might a “hybrid” design like what COD mobile is doing. No! This is just broken and lazy.

2. I love the fact that dialogues are all voiced, but sometimes it’s out sync with the text. Also, there should be a option auto move from dialogue box to dialogue box… it kinda feels like the voice over was an afterthought.

I am a huge fan of Metroidvania games (particularly the Castlevania entries). I really enjoyed Bloodstained when it came out on iOS. Ever since the iOS 16 update, this game won’t even load . It simply crashes every time I attempt to start the game. I have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted my iPhone, and NOTHING WORKS!!! I really hope the app developer will read the feedback in these reviews. I’m not the only one having this issue. I’m running the game on an iPhone 14 Plus, and before that, I ran the game on an iPhone XR. There are literally forums on the internet with people requesting this game be fixed!!! Unless the app developer updates / fixes this game, save your money. I have this game on Switch, but I prefer to have some of my favorite games on the iPhone since it would be unwise to carry my Switch every where to every setting.

Do the touch controls leave a little bit to b desired-yes....is the frame rate a little slower than the other versions of this game-yes.....but honestly WHO CARES?!?!? This is an amazing game from legendary developers released on IOS for us to enjoy so quit all the whining and nitpicking, this game is overall AWSOME and frankly what else do we have to get our “castlevania fix” ???? I’ll tell u-no where....sure SON is on IOS now and it will forever hold its place in gaming history but Bloodstained blows it away in every sense - minor issues and all.....so from one massive castlevania fan to the devs of this game- THANK U....THANK U FROM THE ABSOLUTE BOTTOME OF MY HEART FOR BRINGING THIS TO IOS !!!!

I was waiting for this update. I’ve been eyeing the game on console but I usually play COD or Apex on console. I told myself it would be perfect for mobile and then the mobile version was released and I knew I had to get it. But the reviews for it complained about the controls, so I waited for the update and I’m glad I did. Really great game, reminds me of castlevania except it’s with a girl (that happened only like twice in the series I believe). The art work is very DMC and I’m talking like the first 3 games, not the recent ones. It’s a good game! If you’re thinking about getting it you should

A great game ruined by garbage on-screen controls. Jumping is just too inconsistent when also trying to run, which is a main mechanic for platformers. It’s just not fluid enough. While running, tap on shoe (jump) and watch Miriam maybe jump to her max height… or find her only able to jump a quarter to half her max height and fall from a higher region of the map/castle (if you’ve even made it up there initially) and you have to start that climbing process all over. This isn’t Chutes n’ Ladders, and where in the world are the QA testers before this mess gets sent out for folks to purchase and play?! For heaven’s sake…. Unplayable until they fix this to save self from frustration. 🤦🏾‍♂️😩

Bought and downloaded the app. Took a bit since it is so big. Have plenty of space and am on a stable wifi connection, however the application just crashes 24/7. Every single time without failure, the app will attempt to open, show a screen for a split second and then crash and take me back to my Home Screen. Spent $10 because I heard it was a good game to play if you liked Castlevania Symphony of the Night, but am beyond disappointed. I’m on a iPhone 13 Pro Max completely up to date with updates and everything and the game just will not open. I have yet to try it on my iPad Pro, but I’m not very optimistic that it will work on that either. 0/5
