When I was younger and played Castlevania for the first time in my GameBoyAdvance and saw the whip instead of blades, I said: "That guy is fucking Amazing"....First hero smashing monsters whit a whip!!
Not to say it doesn't look good but, let's get one thing straight... The whip used to be the only weapon, besides the others you could pick up occasionally. It made the game more challenging to players. Now the whip is so over powered and as if that wasn't enough, they had to add another weapon.
i have to admit, even if im afraid that it could fuck up the castlevania image and stuff, The design fkn rulz, defenitely unique and beautiful game enivornment
The titan boss fights are basically boss fights from shadow of the colossus. Don't complain people, at least its not the final fantasy, metroid style game like all the castlevania games were after the playstation, but castlevania was never meant to be 3rd person, havn't they learned from the N64? but lets hope this will be different.
this game did not dissapoint...strong visuals, storytelling, and mechanics...you can just tell how much passion and dedication the programmers and everyone involved in the project put into it...it is pathetic in today's gaming industry where games such as halo and skyrim receive an average score of 9 or better based on reputation and biased reviewers...yet a game like LOS recieves much unwarranted criticism in the face of other games with far more flaws and shortcomings...LOS is a work of art
@micahman3000 it wasn't just a game....it was a fucking experience:)...and you get your money's worth out of it...20+hours when the average game today can be beaten in 6-7 hours
@islapilluminati This games does look incredible, but it's funny how you said that halo and Skyrim developers don't put any passion or dedication into their games, I'd find their creator studios to be one of the most dedicated and fan responsive developers out there.
@14DEADSOUL actually so there is no misunderstanding...I never questioned the passion or dedication of the programmers of halo or skyrim...I love both games and they have much to offer...my criticism is directed at the biased nature of reviewing in the gaming industry and settling for lesser standards...Skyrim was released broken...I already have 10 broken quests that can't be completed, as do many others...halo has had a substandard graphics engine since halo 2...they are not 9/10 games
@14DEADSOUL in regards to my passion and dedication statement in particular, I was saying Castlevania LOS had it...I wasn't suggesting that Halo or Skyrim developers didn't...they do have passion and dedication....but they far too often have to many glaring weaknesses that make it inexcusable for these game reviewers to kiss their ass and give them unwarranted high scores where games of a much higher quality with far less flaws get shafted with poorer scores
@islapilluminati I see what you mean, still partly disagree with using them as examples though. Anyway Castlevania ~RULES~! Playing through Aria of shadow on the Gameboy currently. Retro for the win :)
Im a huge fan of castlevania and my favorite is symphony of the night. I wasn't planning to play lords of shadow but the thing that made me play this game is the fact that gabriel belmont would eventually becomes Dracula. So i thought that the coming sequel would be playing dracula ( like playing Alucard in symphony of the night ).. I have complains in this game though, the camera angels are not controllable making it difficult to steer on the direction you wish to go or see the area wer you wa

Im disapointed at this game. There is only few enemies on each stage, there is only few skills too and they are worthless and its just bad God of War and Shadow of the Collosus rip off in fuckin boring Tolkien like ( so far ) world. Fuck goblins, wargs and trolls i wanted some zombies skeletons and undead shit everywhere, and more action , less climbing, less short pointless cutscenes and horror atmosphere instead of this candy fuckin shit.
@Rauser142 Are you serious? The game is literally swarming with undead stuff once you get past the first chapter, especially zombies and skeletons, ect.
It's an absolute masterpiece of a game, when I beat it, I felt genuinely moved.
@yUrilpx69 It's times like this that you have to think...which game series came out first...when God of War wasn't even in conception this franchise was kicking butt everywhere. So Castlevania didn't copy off God of War...God of War copied off Castlevania.
@2011seniortiger are you stupid?? im saying castlevania lords of shadow's style is the same as god of war... only lords of shadow... and i did not say it was copied... i said it sucks and i want the old castlevania back
@yUrilpx69 Alright chill. You can't be too careful with the idiots that get online these days. For a second I thought that you were implying that God of War was the original title of the two. Now that I know that you understand the truth I ain't gonna have a pointless internet fight.
The voice narrating here is TERRIBLE. Makes me not want to buy the game at all. Too sterile and disinterested. This kind of introduction might be suited to explaining the game to some interested investors (speaking in terms of "the experience), but not for exciting actual players.
Let's be clear. Ripoff because of the long ranged weapons?
Do you remember Castlevania: Laments of Innocence?... it was released in 2003, while God of War was released in 2005. Castlevania has used whips and long ranged weapons before GOW even existed.
@TheFranGloria have you ever thought that he might be a god of war fanboy kid and has only ever heard of god of war? or just ignorant. comon man lay off of him.
@jcool628 Bullshit. It is also avaliable for PS3 and you can say that God of War is like Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry. I hate the comparism of every Action game to God of war...

i think its time for castlevania to move forward and exclude itself from hack and slash games that are automatically stereotyped as "god of war rip-offs".
It doesn't seem to be a REAL Castlevania at the start, but you will get your castle, vampires, and everything that makes it a castlevania later on BECAUSE it's a prequel. I don't want to give out to many spoilers, but, It IS a Castlevania game. I don't know why this one in particular got so heavily criticized.
This trailer tricks me into it being a Castlevania Game. But, no Vampire Slayer, no Dracula. In fact, this goes on before Lament of Innocence, which showed us how the fight between the belmonts and dracula started. So it's like "Why was it named castlevania?" I'm just waiting for Konami to decide and do the game with Julius Belmont in 1999 showing how they killed Dracula for good.
I just beat this game. It's a pretty good game if you know what your getting into. I definitely wouldn't say it's a "must have" but it's entertaining.
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as the Castlevania series. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
@Rauser142 -_- just because its a hack-n-slash with platforming doesn't mean its like GOW, and im pretty sure there are WAY more hack-n-slash games that came out "Before" GOW so what, did those games copy it too?
GOW was inspired by DMC. But this fuckin game really is just a GOW and Shadow of the Collosus ripoff. Actually all games look same its annoying where is any imagination ? Damn lazy ass bastards.
@vboxeca i get what your saying, but its not really a rip off just because it has a few things in common, and game play? like i said in my other comment what about Dante's Inferno, Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Blade and all the other hack-n-slash style games out there. Just because the game play is similar or it has a few elements from other games doesn't mean its stealing anything, there are so many games out now that it's almost impossible to make a game without another game having the same elements.
@xKaRMaLx Yes... and all games of this area obviously got the idea of using a whip like object to overcome obstacles from the old castlevanias... like spinning the whip and grabbing ledges and swinging to your goal and even Rygar and bionic comando used these ideas in the late 1980s
@xKaRMaLx Well said, too many people have this gradeschool "copycat" mentality when it comes to games. In the reality of things, they don't realize that good elements that show up in good games actually change the genre, if it works well, then it will be used by other titles. Otherwise, heaven forbid all these games for being basic "copies" of old school Super Mario Bros. I mean c'mon, jumping in the game? That's straight old school.
I liked this game. One thing that did make me laugh was the narration by Zobek when he'd say stuff like ''Ah, Gabriel. Such hate in his heart, such anger in his eyes! He has not slept for days, for the nightmares they would torment him so!'' etc yet throughout the whole game Gabriel looks really relaxed and laid back
HAHAHA, how many games did these guys rip off? The titan battles are pulled STRAIGHT from Shadow of the Colossus. This game, while perhaps not a bad game, should never have been received the Castlevania title. I just hope one day we get a regular, non-mobile 2d Castlevania game. But no, can't make a 2d game anymore, why that would be like making a black and white movie. Fuckers.
I agree with the fact that the titan battles are copied from Shadows of Colossus, it's just obvious. There is no going around it. And you know good and well they tried to go with more of a God of War type of feel to the game, especially with the quick time events.
But I don't agree that it has to be in 2-d. 3D is fine, they just have to make the game more original to castlevania and less like everything else. It was just trying too hard. I couldn't play the game after a while.
There is more to the games than just platforming and fighting. And I was referring to the game being more like the Castlevania series and less like the other 3D games of now. Why copy shadows of Colossus, with the titan battles? Why put in the quick time events(like all the other 3D action-adventure games)?
Overall it was a decent game...but just certain things that made it feel not like it was a CV game.
@0194D Sure to the metroidvania titles, there was more then just platforming and fighting but with the classic castlevania games all there was, was platforming and hitting something with your whip or projectile side weapon. And thats what this game is like. Its a 3D variation of an old fashioned castlevania. And the visual style of the game is more reminiscent of the old fashioned castlevania games, and not the anime like ones from nowadays. (not saying those are bad mind you)
My point is, the game shouldn't have copied other games. It was obvious they copied shadows of colossus.
The game is nice the way it is when it comes to just the fighting. But I'm not talking about the fighting, for most. And platforming and hitting doesnt mean it is automatically like the old games. The game needs more, of a haunting feel. The story needs alot of work. And they definately need work on some of the controls if they want CV LOS 2 to fit better into the 3d world.
I wasn't talking about like L2+O or something like that. I meant sometimes the controls fuck you over. While climbing I sometimes the character wouldn't jump when he obviously could, and sometimes the R2 doesn't pick up right away when you are trying to let go of one glowing handle to swing to another glowing handle.
Stuff like that is what I'm referring to. And the camera needed work too, the camera is your biggest enemy in this game.
Nothing wrong with the MY copy of the game. It is the game in general. Anyways the game has problems and needs work.
And the thing when you die, and they bring you back but with less life, SUCKS!!! I'd rather be restarted at an earlier checkpoint, than lose life. And everytime you die you have to wait until the damn game loads up again. You know what I'm talking about. When you die, it shows the chain extending at the bottom and you have to wait til it reaches the end. whack
@Mcmadness288 They don't. Any 3d take on Castlevania won't be Castlevania. But if it has to be done the best way to make a 3d Castlevania is not to reinvent the game. SF4 uses 3d characters but it still plays on a 2d plane. If they wanted to make the character model, the enemy models, and item models 3d but still have all the action take place on a 2d plane then I would be happy and play the game.
@Mcmadness288 Way to just ignore the whole part I wrote about how to make a 3d Castlevania. I said they could have done a proper 3d Castlevania game.
Anyway, this game was never intended to even be a Castlevania game. The developer pitched it to Konami and Konami said, "looks good, but we want you to make it a Castlevania game". So lets not pretend this game is in anyway a real Castlevania game, 3d or not.
@Mcmadness288 It was NEVER going to have anything to do with Castlevania. I read an interview with the developer, they came up with a game they wanted funded and published. The pitched it to Konami. Konami said sure, as long as you make it into a Castlevania game. Why do you care so much?
"So new players can jump right in without knowing any of the previous adventures". First of all, you've never needed to know the back story to enjoy a Castlevania game. Second of all, the reason this doesn't follow any of the other games is b/c they took an existing game and slapped the Castlevania name on it to sell more copies. Marketing fucktards, kill yourself.
People here is how ! GOW barrows from Devil my cry . And DMC barrows from a game for the Dreamcast game called -sword of the berserk/guts rage. I love this game!and all the game that copied it!!!!
@klein2185 que esperabas? los que dicen eso rondan los 10 años de edad, esta serie invento la esencia de la jugabilidad de GOW, los ataques con cadenas, ademas fue pionera en darle a un juego un aspecto lugubre, tenebroso y medieval, que adoptaron juegos como RE4 y DMC por ejemplo
Funny how people keep saying that CV is just a copy of GoW when CV has been there long before GoW has been conceptualized. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a CV fanboy. I love both games. It's just that GoW and CV's genre of gameplay is very generic that they will a lot of similarities. And think about it, if CV will be released on the PS3 or Xbox do you think they will make another 2D side scroll? hahahaha!! that would be a complete waste...
im gettin sick of this gow and other games like god of war bullshit...gow is the best game with this system of fighting thats why people say its a rip off not cuz it came out first.... personally i think gow is the best game for me...but i like this game too
No, it's more like God of War + Shadow of the Colosus.

GOW ripoff. Castlevania should stay in 2D.
Rauser142 6 months ago
@Rauser142 -_- just because its a hack-n-slash with platforming doesn't mean its like GOW, and im pretty sure there are WAY more hack-n-slash games that came out "Before" GOW so what, did those games copy it too?

@xKaRMaLx
GOW was inspired by DMC. But this fuckin game really is just a GOW and Shadow of the Collosus ripoff. Actually all games look same its annoying where is any imagination ? Damn lazy ass bastards.

@xKaRMaLx It's a ripoff cause of the double long range weapon and the wings for example, not only the gameplay in general.

@vboxeca i get what your saying, but its not really a rip off just because it has a few things in common, and game play? like i said in my other comment what about Dante's Inferno, Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Blade and all the other hack-n-slash style games out there. Just because the game play is similar or it has a few elements from other games doesn't mean its stealing anything, there are so many games out now that it's almost impossible to make a game without another game having the same elements.

@xKaRMaLx Well maybe it wasn't intended as a ripoff, but all these games are pretty much the same and I find them all boring.
vboxeca 6 months ago
@xKaRMaLx Yes... and all games of this area obviously got the idea of using a whip like object to overcome obstacles from the old castlevanias... like spinning the whip and grabbing ledges and swinging to your goal and even Rygar and bionic comando used these ideas in the late 1980s

@xKaRMaLx Well said, too many people have this gradeschool "copycat" mentality when it comes to games. In the reality of things, they don't realize that good elements that show up in good games actually change the genre, if it works well, then it will be used by other titles. Otherwise, heaven forbid all these games for being basic "copies" of old school Super Mario Bros. I mean c'mon, jumping in the game? That's straight old school.

I liked this game. One thing that did make me laugh was the narration by Zobek when he'd say stuff like ''Ah, Gabriel. Such hate in his heart, such anger in his eyes! He has not slept for days, for the nightmares they would torment him so!'' etc yet throughout the whole game Gabriel looks really relaxed and laid back

HAHAHA, how many games did these guys rip off? The titan battles are pulled STRAIGHT from Shadow of the Colossus. This game, while perhaps not a bad game, should never have been received the Castlevania title. I just hope one day we get a regular, non-mobile 2d Castlevania game. But no, can't make a 2d game anymore, why that would be like making a black and white movie. Fuckers.

@mygaffer
I agree with the fact that the titan battles are copied from Shadows of Colossus, it's just obvious. There is no going around it. And you know good and well they tried to go with more of a God of War type of feel to the game, especially with the quick time events.
But I don't agree that it has to be in 2-d. 3D is fine, they just have to make the game more original to castlevania and less like everything else. It was just trying too hard. I couldn't play the game after a while.
0194D 6 months ago
@0194D to be fair how exactly does one make a 3D castlevania and being more like the 2D games?
After all the games at their core are just platforming and fighting.
And thats what lords of shadow is, platforming and fighting.
Mcmadness288 6 months ago
@Mcmadness288
*sigh*
There is more to the games than just platforming and fighting. And I was referring to the game being more like the Castlevania series and less like the other 3D games of now. Why copy shadows of Colossus, with the titan battles? Why put in the quick time events(like all the other 3D action-adventure games)?
Overall it was a decent game...but just certain things that made it feel not like it was a CV game.
This game over all just needed more work.
0194D 6 months ago
@0194D Sure to the metroidvania titles, there was more then just platforming and fighting but with the classic castlevania games all there was, was platforming and hitting something with your whip or projectile side weapon. And thats what this game is like. Its a 3D variation of an old fashioned castlevania. And the visual style of the game is more reminiscent of the old fashioned castlevania games, and not the anime like ones from nowadays. (not saying those are bad mind you)
Mcmadness288 6 months ago
@Mcmadness288
My point is, the game shouldn't have copied other games. It was obvious they copied shadows of colossus.
The game is nice the way it is when it comes to just the fighting. But I'm not talking about the fighting, for most. And platforming and hitting doesnt mean it is automatically like the old games. The game needs more, of a haunting feel. The story needs alot of work. And they definately need work on some of the controls if they want CV LOS 2 to fit better into the 3d world.
0194D 6 months ago
@0194D Well ignoring the controls of the game (because personally I found they worked fine) how would you have done it?
Mcmadness288 6 months ago
@Mcmadness288
I wasn't talking about like L2+O or something like that. I meant sometimes the controls fuck you over. While climbing I sometimes the character wouldn't jump when he obviously could, and sometimes the R2 doesn't pick up right away when you are trying to let go of one glowing handle to swing to another glowing handle.
Stuff like that is what I'm referring to. And the camera needed work too, the camera is your biggest enemy in this game.
0194D 6 months ago
@0194D Honestly I've never had these problems so I dunno what was wrong with your game.
Mcmadness288 6 months ago
@Mcmadness288
Nothing wrong with the MY copy of the game. It is the game in general. Anyways the game has problems and needs work.
And the thing when you die, and they bring you back but with less life, SUCKS!!! I'd rather be restarted at an earlier checkpoint, than lose life. And everytime you die you have to wait until the damn game loads up again. You know what I'm talking about. When you die, it shows the chain extending at the bottom and you have to wait til it reaches the end. whack
0194D 6 months ago
@0194D Yeah the loading time is a pain but even some of the best games in the series have awful loading times.
Like Symphony of the night.
Mcmadness288 6 months ago
@mygaffer ok then, if your so smart, explain how someone makes a 3D castlevania properly.
Mcmadness288 6 months ago
@Mcmadness288 They don't. Any 3d take on Castlevania won't be Castlevania. But if it has to be done the best way to make a 3d Castlevania is not to reinvent the game. SF4 uses 3d characters but it still plays on a 2d plane. If they wanted to make the character model, the enemy models, and item models 3d but still have all the action take place on a 2d plane then I would be happy and play the game.
mygaffer 6 months ago
@mygaffer Now I think thats an incredibly closed mind statement.
There are plenty of games that have both 2D and 3D installments.
Why does a game suddenly stop being a part of a series just because it switches to the third dimension?
Mcmadness288 6 months ago
@Mcmadness288 Way to just ignore the whole part I wrote about how to make a 3d Castlevania. I said they could have done a proper 3d Castlevania game.
Anyway, this game was never intended to even be a Castlevania game. The developer pitched it to Konami and Konami said, "looks good, but we want you to make it a Castlevania game". So lets not pretend this game is in anyway a real Castlevania game, 3d or not.
mygaffer 6 months ago
@mygaffer Actually it was originally going to be a 3D version of the original castlevania title.
Besides whats so not castlevania about it?
Mcmadness288 6 months ago
@Mcmadness288 It was NEVER going to have anything to do with Castlevania. I read an interview with the developer, they came up with a game they wanted funded and published. The pitched it to Konami. Konami said sure, as long as you make it into a Castlevania game. Why do you care so much?

@mygaffer Curiosity.
Mcmadness288 6 months ago
"So new players can jump right in without knowing any of the previous adventures". First of all, you've never needed to know the back story to enjoy a Castlevania game. Second of all, the reason this doesn't follow any of the other games is b/c they took an existing game and slapped the Castlevania name on it to sell more copies. Marketing fucktards, kill yourself.

@klein2185 que esperabas? los que dicen eso rondan los 10 años de edad, esta serie invento la esencia de la jugabilidad de GOW, los ataques con cadenas, ademas fue pionera en darle a un juego un aspecto lugubre, tenebroso y medieval, que adoptaron juegos como RE4 y DMC por ejemplo

Funny how people keep saying that CV is just a copy of GoW when CV has been there long before GoW has been conceptualized. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a CV fanboy. I love both games. It's just that GoW and CV's genre of gameplay is very generic that they will a lot of similarities. And think about it, if CV will be released on the PS3 or Xbox do you think they will make another 2D side scroll? hahahaha!! that would be a complete waste...
