Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate HD

mesmo eu não sendo fã da franquia castlevania esse jogo realmente me surpreendeu, no começo eu achei que seria um jogo ruim porque a primeira vista os graficos datados dão a impressão de um jogo ultrapassado mas a gameplay é muito boa, vale a pena porque traz três personagens diferentes e boas horas de diversão

I'm conflicted about this game; the entire playthrough is enjoyable, but the ending is unsatisfying. It's one of those games that ends on a cliffhanger, and it obviously wants you to play the sequel to continue the story; that must have been painful for DS players back in the day. Other than the ending being a wet fart, the game is really fun. It's not exactly a one-for-one of classic Castlevania combat; the Lords of Shadows hack-and-slash roots, strangely, make it feel more modern.

Un castlevania mas a la antigua, pero con mas combos, buena historia la pelea de los 3 belmont y sus origenes, eso si bien en dificultad alta te bajan casi media vida por golpe, con un buen final para dar inicio al LOS2.

melhor que nada

I remember playing the demo for this when it came out on the 3DS in 2012 and not being interested and I was more right than I knew. Fast forward to 2026 and I played through all the GBA and DS Castlevanias and wanted to give this a shot. Unfortunately my hunches were correct and this wasn't quite what I was hoping for. There are some cool ideas and I see the vision, it does a very good classic God of War impression, but while it can be interesting aesthetically, the gameplay is very unfun in practice. It wants you to be very precise, both platforming and combat-wise but feels janky in both cases. I think its because yes there are lots of QTE sequences, but even the moment to moment gameplay "feels" like its asking you to do a million invisible QTEs, which is reinforced by the unforgiving but tedious platforming and combat. There's even fall damage. The game is absolutely linear and even though you can teleport around I found myself barely wanting to go through an area once, much less return to one. I could see being more forgiving of this if playing on the 3DS but on Steam Deck in 2026 I found myself begging for the game to be over with. I'd say pick it up on sale for $3 if you're curious in a Devil May Cry 2 sort of way, otherwise skip.

A somewhat decent Metroidvania, but easily the weakest of the Castlevania Metroidvanias I've played. Still, it's largely unoffensive, though it somehow starts to drag on in the third and final act. This is the first Castlevania Metroidvania where I didn't feel compelled whatsoever to get 100% map completion. Just like Lords of Shadow 1, the story is mid and presented pretty poorly; the big "twist" is very easily seen, but the game likes to pretend it's a big revelation in the final act. I will say, the variety of characters you play is actually kinda cool. You play as a different character in each act that has different magic and sub-weapons. They all share the same upgrades, which doesn't make sense whatsoever plot-wise, but is nice gameplay-wise. All-in-all, it's not bad and I can see why Nintendo trusted these very same devs to make Metroid Dread, one of my favorite Metroidvanias.

Nunca se compararía al legendario SOTN, pero es entretenido.
