Alec of Gaming Furever reviews the newest Castlevania title: "I didn't hype this game up, but being a Castlevania fan, I had to get this title, since I thought the Lords of Shadow storyline was really good. The game didn't fail my expectations. It is pretty challenging and easy to get into. The visuals are good, fights are fun, and it actually has a casual replay value, unlike some other 3DS titles. I would recommend playing the console Lords of Shadow before tackling this game, as well as playing classic Castlevania titles before and after, since this game's story is an alternative storyline based around MercuryStream's Lords of Shadow universe and not the cannon story."
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.
