Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Review part1

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a surprise. If you are looking for a modern take on the classic vampire-slayer franchise, you will be surprised. If you think it’s nothing more than a God of War clone, you will again be surprised. And finally, if you think it’s only good for one play through, you’ll be – guess – surprised.

With this latest instalment, Castlevania is reborn in to a 3D action gaming space. Indeed, while developer MercurySteam has bought the series back to its roots of vampires and other nightmarish creatures, this latest endeavor strips away nearly everything we know about the much-loved IP. Sure, you’ll find the same enemies, but you’ll face them in a new way. And, the main character is still out to kill as many dark and devilish ghouls as possible, but he comes equipped with a fresh batch of interesting weapons and magic to wield.



It’s almost impossible to connect this iteration of the game with previous versions, and perhaps it would be best if the series just started anew. However, it still sports the Castlevania moniker, and with it comes that familiar whiff of nostalgia and for many, a healthy dose of preconceptions. This time around, the plot centres on hero Gabriel’s quest is to resurrect his deceased wife; naturally, things aren’t going to be an easy ride, requiring a fair amount of beast slaying before our hero can accomplish his goal.

Once you dive into the game, you’ll see that this is a dark tale, albeit told in a refreshing manner. It feels fresh, in large part, because of the combat.

Of course, while initially feeling inspired by a certain God of War - and it certainly is - once you unlock upgrades to your Combat Cross, you’ll see the game’s true combat potential shine through. You’ll use two buttons for sweeping or heavy attacks, string together easy combos, throw daggers and unleash ridiculously powerful spells. Combat includes QTE-events, boss battles (more on that later) and epic encounters that rival some of the greatest moments in recent action games.
