Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement Overview
Here’s an overview of the game:
The story unfolds as a mysterious ethereal castle, under the control of โDemon Lord Elias,โ casts a shadow over the land, terrorizing citizens with its demonic forces. Time and again, the Kingdom and the Church have deployed strike forcesโeach effort ending in failure. As another opportunity arises, two heroes are brought together by fate. Leonard Brandon, a young fighter with the Churchโs Black Wolves clan and Alexander Kyteler, a knight of the Kingdomโs White Stags and lone survivor of an initial, unsuccessful expedition.
