Better Performance and Big-Time Nerfs Ahead
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a pretty great time, unless you’ve got the Nintendo Switch version. Thankfully, there’s a fix on the way! The first Bloodstained patch notes have been released, giving players a good look at what’s to come. Aside from the bug fixes, a lot of weapon shards are getting nerfed.
The patch isn’t out just yet, but it seems like Igarashi and the devs really don’t want players cheesing their way through this game. Cheap-yet-effective weapons like Welcome Company, Rhava Bural, and Rhava Velar are all getting de-powered. Balance is all well and good, but cheap and cheesy strategies are half the fun. Now we’ll have to like, play the game properly! You can check out the complete patch notes below.
