Kory Becker @primaryobjects.bsky.social · Feb 1 I finished Castlevania Aria of Sorrow on the GBA. This was an amazing game, different from the classic NES as you don't have a whip, but a huge selection of weapons and powers. You absorb enemy skills like in Metroid Fusion. I see Bloodstained Ritual of the Night inspired from this! #metroidvania

Many of the levels, enemies, weapons (and even that rolling Buer thing) were the inspiration in Bloodstained Ritual of the Night, which is probably my favorite game of 2025. I'm moving on to Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance next. #gaming #castlevania #nintendo #metroidvania #retro #retrogaming
