It's good. Not as good as Symphony of The Night or any DS game, but it is quite fun and short. If you like Lords of Shadow I think this will be a nice addition. If you want good old SOTN-style Castlevania, better look elsewhere.

Being a Nintendo portable spin-off (originally released on the 3DS) of the high-end Castlevania subseries Lords of Shadow, Mirror of Fate is a beast of its own. High production values are crammed into the 2.5D metroidvania layout, as the traditional tactical/exploratory gameplay is overruled by some straight-forward action. Anyways, throughout the game its pros and cons come from the same place: the cinematic approach. It brings an unprecedented (in Nintendo platforms, mind you) level of gore and horror to the series, and its flair for spectacle delivers. Regular skirmishes are as satisfying as boss battles, the camera ensuring you’ll get the best seat while at it; same goes for presenting new environments or showing off the gorgeous, eerie vistas—especially when strolling outside the castle. Unfortunately its God of War-ly metroidvania-for dummies level design has nothing of “Mature” in it and would serve a younger audience better; and so would the Quick Time Events triggered in certain situations, the player helplessly travelling back to 1983 for an involuntary taste of Dragon’s Lair. Elsewhere, the double-edged sword thrusts on. Almost an interactive movie as it is, lore and fan service go terribly well together—while the same can’t be said about the controls, for the sake of not dropping presentation (and a few animation frames in the process) over gameplay. Ups and downs here and there, the real game breaker still stems from that very same root. Bosses are preceded by seamless cutscenes, and even though pumping the upcoming battle up they grow plainly annoying over fail-and-repeat. Worse, they are unskippable. Worser, they can even glitch in preventing you from reaching areas where you fought a boss before, thus rendering a proper completion status unattainable without starting a new game—with the very same unskippable cutscenes along the way. Ultimately the later patchable HD version can rid it of some bugs, but not the stigma (for good and bad) of being a breed of such diverse creatures. @Substack: https://themagnificent7s.substack.com/p/castlevania-lords-of-shadow-mirror

In all likelihood to most underrated game in the Castlevania franchise. Regularly goes on sale for a ridiculously low $3, and for that price range it's a genuine masterpiece. - Although it can become repetitive at times, the hack n slash combat is snappy and satisfying. As soon as it feels like its slipping into tedium, the game shifts from one chapter to the next and has you assume the role of one of its three characters. Although the core gameplay remains consistent across characters, bridged by a common leveling system, their unique secondary abilities really do shake up gameplay meaningfully. For the Doom fans out there, you'll definitely appreciate the glory-kill system. - I'm a sucker for inter-generational blood feuds (ex: JJBA) so I always going to appreciate the story, but the game does genuinely excel in integrating them together. During each chapter, you'll come across some moments and environmental storytelling that might seem like just a nice touch at the time but are important locations in future chapters. It really makes you feel like there is a thread joining them together. - Expectedly the art direction is excellent, remaining faithful to the gothic horror design ethos the franchise is known for. There were quite a few moments that felt genuinely cinematic, especially in those segments when you're outside the castle and get the opportunity to really take in the scenery.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate delves into a rich narrative tapestry, expanding upon the lore established in its predecessor, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. The story is a complex tale of family, betrayal, and the cyclical nature of good versus evil. A Legacy of Vengeance: The game primarily follows the journeys of Simon Belmont, Alucard, and Trevor Belmont, all descendants of the legendary Belmont clan. Each character's storyline is interwoven, revealing their personal motivations and connections to the overarching conflict against Dracula. Simon Belmont's Quest: Simon's narrative arc is one of a young warrior seeking vengeance for the death of his mother at the hands of Dracula. His journey is marked by a growing understanding of his family's legacy and the immense power he wields. He grapples with the burden of his destiny, often finding himself manipulated by darker forces. Alucard's Burden: Alucard, Dracula's son, carries a heavy burden of his own. Torn between his father's darkness and his own desire for peace, Alucard acts as a mysterious protector, often intervening in the lives of the Belmonts. His story explores themes of self-acceptance and the struggle against one's own nature. Trevor Belmont's Role: Trevor, Simon's father, plays a crucial role in guiding Simon and confronting Dracula. His story is one of sacrifice and the enduring fight against the forces of darkness, even when faced with overwhelming odds.

if you are not castlevania fan or you don't like QTE games don't buy & play this game Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate HD is a bold experiment that mostly succeeds. It doesn't reach the heights of Symphony of the Night or the tight action of Aria of Sorrow, but it offers something different: a character-driven saga with modern combat mechanics in a classic 2D framework. For fans of the franchise, especially those invested in the Lords of Shadow continuity, this entry is well worth experiencing—warts and all.
