With a demo coming shortly to backers.

Last time we saw anything from Koji Igarashi's Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night we got a trailer showcasing the UI and few minor details in a test area. Today we get to see the game in a more natural setting.

In the new Kickstarter update Igarashi-san reveals that the PC version of the game will be playable at Microsoft's E3 booth. Fortunately they haven't forgotten about us in Europe either, as those who've backed the game with $60 or more will get the demo on Steam around the same time.

Here you'll get to play around in the game's first stage, Galleon Minerva, and fight the lesser demons called Morte (which isn't a full-fledged demon), Seama, and Dullahammer. The magi-crystals, also known as "Shards", players obtains from enemies will also be included in demo.

This new trailer and screenshots give us a small peak at the demo. Do you think it looks interesting, but haven't backed it yet? Fear not. If you give your contribution and fill out the backer survey by June 13 you'll get access to the demo. Otherwise the game is set to land in March of next year.
