UK-based developer Moonana has announced Bathory: Heritage of Blood, a 2D action game described as a 'vampire Soulsvania' inspired by Castlevania. Players control a vampire princess betrayed by her mother, storming the queen's castle to reclaim the blood throne. The game features a risk-based combat system where attacks consume life force, which must be replenished by collecting blood from defeated enemies.
