About
Unravel the dark history of the Bloodstained universe and explore a hauntingly immersive 16th-century England steeped in a 2.5D gothic atmosphere, enthralling players in strategic battles, crafting, and exploration across a sprawling, cursed land.
The story unfolds as a mysterious ethereal castle, under the control of “Demon Lord Elias,” casts a shadow over the land, terrorizing citizens with its demonic forces. Time and again, the Kingdom and the Church have deployed strike forces—each effort ending in failure. As another opportunity arises, two heroes are brought together by fate. Leonard Brandon, a young fighter with the Church’s Black Wolves clan and Alexander Kyteler, a knight of the Kingdom’s White Stags and lone survivor of an initial, unsuccessful expedition.
Join Leo and Alex as they rise together to defeat Demon Lord Elias’s reign of terror and shatter the chains of a kingdom tormented by evil forces.
