GS:The second chapter in the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow saga, the 3DS's Mirror of Fate, brought the series closer to its roots than it has been in years. Side-scrolling action made a comeback, with a small amount of Symphony of the Night-style exploration in tow, but it also maintained the combo-driven combat established in the first Lords of Shadow game. The combination of the best elements from different corners of the series worked well, and the reimagining of the connection between the Belmont family of vampire hunters and Dracula provided an interesting if somewhat predictable twist. Unfortunately, a small number of design choices got in the way of the good stuff, but in porting Mirror of Fate to consoles, Konami had a chance to finally fix those failings. Mirror of Fate goes further than the expected visual upgrades, making small improvements that lead to a much more enjoyable experience.
Just Cause, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate HD are now playable on Xbox One, Microsoft announced.
Yeah me too man. I'm so stoked for this. I really liked these LoS games. I haven't played much of the 2nd one yet but really liked the first. I'd love to see a big dev make another one. I was just posting about these games the other day.
I'm told the second one is balls. I'm staying away from it purposely to preserve my memory of LoS 1 which was my sleeper hit of the last generation.
