Castlevania. Synonymous with vampires, whips and erm, castles, the horror-action series has been present on almost every console since its inception on the NES. My first experience was Symphony of the Night on PS1, before back-peddling to play the roots of the series on the ‘ye olde’ consoles. I’ve always found it to be tricky, inventive and very exciting.
With Lords of Shadow, the series was rebooted for the current, shiny generation to generally rapturous praise. Not wanting to leave its old home behind, Mirror of Fate followed shortly after on 3DS. Now ported to Xbox Live Arcade, it’s found a new home as a lush and surprisingly modern side-scroller.
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.
