Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
In this reboot of the beloved Castlevania franchise, Gabriel Belmont goes on a quest to defeat the sinister Lords of Shadow, who are preventing the souls of the departed from passing on to the afterlife, in order to obtain from them a magical mask that will bring his murdered wife Marie back from the dead.
A Miserable Pile, But Not Without Redemption
The writer was inebriated during the writing of this document and cannot be held responsible for its energy. Castlevania is one of those franchises. As of the date of this writing, it's still hard to… Read more
MercurySteam has taken successful mechanics from combat-focused, character action games and blended it with Castlevania
I was pleasantly surprised when Castlevania: Lords of Shadow released in 2010 – mainly for the fact that it was a great 3D Castlevania game that I thought would never happen during this generation’s h… Read more
The first Lords of Shadow offers fulfilling combat and an okay story, but its execution lacks originality
It’s been 3 years since it was initially released on consoles but the PC version of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is finally here. Why it took 3 whole years is an utter mystery, especially when you rea… Read more

'Must Have' made in Spain.
Castlevania: LOS me ha hecho darme cuenta de la grandeza de esta saga. Nunca fui muy fan, ni si quiera la seguí de cerca, pero gracias a Mercury Steam he podido darme cuenta de lo que tengo entre mano… Read more
Not what I thought
Castlevania is a franchise im not really that into. This was the first game that I have played in this franchise, and I did my research for this overlooked game. Unfortunately, I just could not get in… Read more
Castlevania: Lords of Linear
I would call this game a mixed bag. It has a lot of good and a lot of bad going for it. In fact, I don't think I've ever been so on the fence about a video game before. Here are the pros and cons. PRO… Read more
A decent experience in dire need of tightening
The Short Pros - Absolutely gorgeous graphics - The music, while not the usual Castlevania fare, is still fantastic - Finally a 3D Castlevania game that isn't utter garbage - Patrick Stewart narrates… Read more
Disappointing last third
Just finished LoS, and what an emotional rollercoaster it was. From epic, almost tear-inducing vistas to those fucking chupacabras to Robert Carlyle's (Begbie the psycho in Trainspotting) and Patrick… Read more
A slightly above-average pastiche of tedium.
Before placing any kind of judgement on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow , it is important to realize the intention of its creation, which is an attempt to take the Castlevania franchise in a new directio… Read more
Not an award winner, definitely a heart warmer
Thunderous thumps of chains meeting hard earth, haloed by globules of blood? Punctuated by close up QTE events letting you admire the gore? Occasional bits of monster jockeying? Pretty, epic vistas? I… Read more
Incredible Reimagining turns an Epic Adventure into All-time Fav
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is the game that bleeds fresh blood into the 20 plus year history of the Castlevania franchise. Like many other classic titles made famous on the Nintendo console back in… Read more
Cutscenes with a bit of gaming.
Do you love cutscenes? If so, this game has hours of it. I'm serious! For every 5-10 minutes worth of game play, there is a cutscene. To me, it destroys the flow of the game so badly that you'll be sk… Read more
A troublesome yet promising reboot
Castlevania as a franchise was in dire need of some kind of re-imagining. While the DS games were fun, it was literally 6 games in a row where the series tried its best to replicate the awesomeness th… Read more
What is a man?
Castlevania is one of my favorite gaming series. Konami's vampire killing romps have been hitting consoles and handhelds since the NES. Yet, despite its longevity and the relative quality (at least of… Read more
Castlevania? Not so much. Great action game? Definitely.
Let's get this out of the way first. I've played almost every Castlevania game out there including the staples like Symphony of the Night and Super Castlevania IV along with some DS titles, the 3D ps2… Read more

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Review
By -- Tom M. It's hard to remember the last great, 3D Castlevania game. When was it again? Oh that's right - there never was one. Some of them were admittedly fun but ultimately shallow experiences. W… Read more
Castlevania IV in 3D
Possibly due to the presence of one or more angry ghosts living on the second and third floors of my childhood home, I grew up being afraid of the dark and everything in it. Dracula? Scary. The mummy?… Read more
It may not be a true Castlevania, but is damn fun nonetheless.
One thing that can certainly be said about Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is that it’s definitely not your cookie cutter Castlevania game. In fact, it’s nothing like Castlevania, at all. But that doesn’… Read more
Slightly Derivative Vampire-killin' Blood-spillin' Good Time
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow seems like a risky move for the franchise. Previous attempts to bring the series into the world of 3D haven’t necessarily rendered the results fans have craved. After thre… Read more

Devo was right: When a problem comes along, you must whip it!
It’s no secret that Castlevania is a franchise that’s struggled through low sales numbers and a couple of awkward previous attempts at transitioning into 3D gameplay. And yet, it’s perservered and rem… Read more
Welcome to Castlevania: Reboot.

Castlevania reinvents itself with Lords of Shadow
My history with Castlevania is as such that I feel a strong connection to the early series. Castlevania, Castlevania III, and both the Super Nintendo and Genesis versions make up a fair chunk of my ga… Read more
Flawed, but the best damn 3D Castlevania ever made by man.
I know... that's not saying much. But hear me out: So let me start this by saying I'm only at the end of Chapter 2. That said, I've had one major boss encounter, plenty of werewolf whipping, and enoug… Read more
