Boss Revenge and Chroma Wheel still TBD for Switch
Bloodstained is kind of like the Fallout 76 of the Metroidvania world: one patch enters, several new bugs leave.
The Bloodstained team has acknowledged some recent bugs, most notably crashes after interacting with NPCs, crashes while playing Bloodless in boss rush mode and items negatively impacting achievements. There’s no ETA on the fix right now, but it is in the works.
In other news, that same bugged boss revenge and chroma wheel mode is not yet implemented in the Switch version, so those bugs don’t exist. Sadly, that likely means that there’s more work to be done in tandem with that Switch patch, so it could be even farther out. Better late than buggy, but the Switch port just can’t catch a break.
In fact, this could push back the 2020 roadmap, which was smartly labeled with “all plans subject to change” when it dropped in June. After this mess is sorted out, the next step for the third quarter is chaos/versus/classic modes, as well as a “special crossover.”
