Developer Moonana has confirmed Japanese language support for its upcoming 2D action game 'Bathory - Heritage of Blood', according to the title's Steam store page. The game draws on 'Castlevania', 'Nosferatu', and Victorian Gothic literature to build a world of Gothic horror. Players control vampire princess Ursula Bathory, who wakes from a long slumber to reclaim the Blood Throne from her mother, Regent Queen Elizabeth Bathory, inside Castle Cheit. The combat system consumes the player's life force with each attack, but blood spilled by enemies can restore it, demanding careful timing. Ursula can also collect artifacts to customize her attacks and gain abilities like stealing enemy spells or transforming into a blood beast. 'Bathory - Heritage of Blood' is scheduled for a 2027 release on PC.
