Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate isn’t the Castlevania game you’re looking for. Not even close.
Video Review included
The history of MercuryStream's development of Metroidvania games up to Metroid Dread.
"In a sea of games inspired by Metroid and Castlevania, only one company has ever worked on both series proper."
Although it seems that Luigi had never entered Dracula's Castle before Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he has actually indirectly appeared in Castlevania.
MercurySteam rose from the ashes to create three Castlevania games and Metroid: Samus Returns. Studio Head Enric Álvarez explains how it all happened.
Yall still messed up your opportunity by not making castlevania lords of shadow 2 much much better
Had strong foundation to build on yet the 2nd game wasn't as good
Completely agree with that, Lords of Shadow 1 was fantastic. I was so excited for the second game, and was going to pre-order it. Thank god I never did...
That blame goes to Konami. Look up the interviews with Mercury Steam. Shows why all the stuff with Kojima wasn't all that surprising to me.
Having played the DS Castlevania games as well as having Symphony of the Night on the Vita it is disappointing to see that Mirror of Fate may not be as good as other sites have stated.
I have respect for Colin's reviews & although at times i disagree with some of them, in the video review he does make intriguing points on why he gave this game this score. I heard from forums that this game doesn't run that well also so yeah disappointing.
OUCHH.
That score seems a bit out of touch with reality. Most reviews are around an 8.
From what I've been reading in other reviews
Pros: Combat, Graphics/3D effect
Cons: Platforming, music, doesn't follow Castleroid formula
Totally saw this score coming. They've been crapping on the game ever since the first time they went hands on with it.
I'm a little disappointed that they decided to go the Lords of Shadow route, personally. Don't get me wrong, that style is fun as well, but I loved the DS trio. Dawn of Sorrow and Order of Ecclessia in particular are among the best games I've played in a long time.
and thats the way the cookie crumbLes
