Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement Gameplay
Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement is a 2.5D side-scrolling action-adventure Metroidvania where players take control of both Leonard and Alexander, switching between them on the fly. Each character comes with distinct weapons, armor, and stats, offering different approaches to combat and exploration. While one character is directly controlled, the other fights alongside as an AI companion, providing support in battle. Their teamwork is essential to overcoming the castle’s many dangers.
Core gameplay features include exploration, ingredient gathering, crafting upgrades, discovering magical abilities, and equipping powerful weapons, armor, and enchantments. Set within what is described as the largest map in the Bloodstained series, players will infiltrate the demon-infested Ethereal Castle and fight to survive against the terrifying Sanguinaries.
Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement Plot
Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement follows the story of two protagonists: Leonard Brandon, a young warrior from the Church's Black Wolves clan, and Alexander Kyteler, a knight of the Kingdom's White Stags and the sole survivor of an earlier failed expedition.
Set in 16th-century England, the game takes place as the demonic forces of the Ethereal Castle begin to spread chaos across the land. Together, Leonard and Alexander must infiltrate the castle, endure its nightmarish horrors, and confront the powerful Demon Lord Elias, who is protected by the deadly and relentless Sanguinaries.
