Bloodstained - Ritual of the Night
Just played E3 Demo version due being high dollar backer (well, 100 dollar tier.)
The game is awesome, and I mean more like "excellent" than just "good."
Those who don't know, it's spiritual successor to Castlevania style games (Castlevania - Symphony of the Night.) Considering it's considered the best Castlevania game of all time, the similar name is clearly intentional.

It looks pretty good. Not much gameplay in the video to actually judge, I'll take your word for it though.
Looks interesting, What is plot of the game can you give more information?
Here's this video

We haven't been given many details on the story so far, but we do have some info on the game's heroine, Miriam, and two other main characters, Gebe and Johannes.
Miriam
Picked up as an orphan by an Alchemist at a young age, she became a host for the dark Alchemists’ curse. Although the magi-crystals were fused with her body at a young age, for 10 years she lay sleeping while the curse matured to its full form. It was during this period that the demons arrived, meaning that she missed their appearance and awoke with a mild form of amnesia, not quite fully understanding what happened to her. To stop the curse, Miriam must explore a demon-filled castle and locate its summoner, Gebel, who has suffered from the same curse for a long time.
She is a woman of few words but strong of purpose. Her youth is deceiving, making her seem confrontational and quick to judge, though in reality she is constantly evaluating her next step. The pain she felt as an orphaned child fuels her compassionate desire to protect her loved ones and friends.
Gebel
Original host for the magi-crystal curse that summons demons to the planet. Gebel (JEE-bill) was the only one to survive its effects at such a high level. He destroyed the guild that created him, but in doing so realized he was no longer human and had no place on Earth. This in turn, lead him to summon the demon castle from hell to appear on the planet. It is said that his real purpose in summoning the castle was to give Miriam a place of her own, but as his Magi-crystal disease progressed, he soon forgot his own reasoning. The more he surrounded himself with hell-spawn, the quicker the magi-crystals engulfed his body. He continues to plot the downfall of man, and how to best convince (or use) Miriam to achieve his dark ambition.
Johannes
A member of the defunct Alchemist guild and Gebel’s best friend. Johannes (yo-HAH-nis) was the only Alchemist who dissented with the plan to call demons to the earth to cement Alchemy as the prevalent philosophy. His rejection of the other Alchemists’ scheme is what kept him from sharing their fate. He has a vague understanding that Miriam’s awakening and the demon castle’s appearance are no mere coincidence.
Back dashing is currently "broken" as game mechanic. Not in sense of it not being coded right but it's way too good like in Castlevania - Symphony of the Night.
The problem is that you can spam that move continuously to move way faster than your ability to move forward.
If they keep that movement style in then they should just allow forward dashing.
It was kinda the same thing in Symphony Of The Night, back dashing was just a faster way of moving across the environments, even if Alucard's running animation was pretty damn cool.

Rule 34 conviced me to buy the game when it comes out.
Hope they don't mighty no.9 it
Well in it's current playable form it at least looks better than any of the MN9 demos people got to play before release. I really hope Bloodstained and Yooka-Laylee end up being good.
