Short but sweet, it takes around two hours for one play-through and offers plenty of replayability via the difficulty selection and the choices you make during a run. As you beat the first three bosses, you get a chance to get a new character, but you can also kill or leave them instead. These actions change the ending of the story and also change how you approach each level. All the characters are unique and equally fun; I personally used Zangetsu the most. The sprite work at times is either basic or really amazing; they nailed the 8-bit aesthetic, but options for shaders would have been a nice feature. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon goes on sale quite often for around five dollars, and it's definitely worth it.
