Sky Gamblers: Afterburner includes the following features:

Switch Optimisation – Controller compatibility and user interface have been worked from the ground up to deliver a streamlined, optimised experience for Nintendo Switch players. Pilots can steer their aircraft using Joy-Con controllers, Pro Controller and Motion Controls.
Sky’s the limit – Unlock, upgrade and customise the weapons and defences of 30 contemporary and futuristic planes, each graphically enhanced for Nintendo Switch. Stick to real-world accuracy or cruise in an all-new creation from your own imagination.
Around the world – Soar over the majestic skylines of Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, Hawaii, among others, realistically recreated panoramas with real-world accuracy. Don’t let the view distract you, though – the skies and seas are crawling with armed adversaries at every turn.

Conceived by the legendary Koji Igarashi, the renowned godfather of the beloved Igavania genre, and featuring music by Mirichu Yamane (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night) and Ippo Yamada (Resident Evil), Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a modern, side-scrolling action RPG experience that will satisfy long-time fans of Iga’s previous work, as well as entice players new to his legacy. Everything in Bloodstained is rendered in 3D on a 2D side-scrolling environment that evolves as players progress through the biggest game map of his career, giving them more to explore and enjoy.

Set in 18th century England, where a paranormal force has summoned a demon-infested castle, revealing crystal shards infused with tremendous magical power, players of Bloodstained take on the role of Miriam, an orphan scarred by an alchemist curse which slowly crystallizes her body, enabling her to use spells, weapons, special items and abilities to tailor the game to their playstyle. To save humanity and herself, Miriam must fight through the castle while collecting, crafting and unlocking a vast array of weapons, equipment and loot to defeat the summoner Gebel and the countless minions and bosses of hell that await.

In addition to the sprawling single-player story experience with alternate endings, more than a dozen DLCs will be released post-launch as free updates, including Online and Local Co-op and VS. mode, Roguelike mode, Boss Rush, Chaos mode and Nightmare Difficulty. Secret playable characters are also awaiting discovery, increasing the replay value even further.

The standard version of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is set at a recommended price of R599.
