Mirror Of Fate to me is the best among the 3 Lords of Shadows games. It's like Mercurysteam pay homage to previous Castlevania games. Great video by the way.
I always wondered why trevors' story was the last chapter of the game. Now it makes sense,out of three playable characters, trevor was the most ready,the most prepared, and the most arrogant of the three.
Awesome vid! Mirror of Fate is certainly one of the underappreciated titles in the series. My only gripe with it is that they didn't use the storybook art style from the cutscenes in the main game too: those would've served as something really unique and I would've loved to see a game like that. Can't wait for the LoS2 video! Fun fact: A 2D God of War game already exists: Betreyal. It is an official mobile Java game, which kind of slaps to be honest. It depicts Kratos' first time killing a god.
Excellent, nuanced take of the story. I was always curious how the story went, as I played through LoS1. This story is interesting and I think that they did really well. Also, nitpicky thing here, but Belnades is pronounced bell*nah*dehs. Other than that, great pacing and great video. You’ll get some much deserved subs soon.
I wish that they opted to continue these types of games instead. Or at least relegated them for more filler stories. For example in LoS 2 Viktor Belmont was the last Belmont in that timeline if I recall. Meaning we could've gotten quite a few games to fill the gap from Simon to Viktor. Would've been neat to see.
I’ve actually been going through my own journey with the lords of shadow games, close to beating 1, and I had been planning on skipping this one funnily enough, just cause I heard it wasn’t that interesting, but after this video, I definitely think I’m gonna give it a shot! Looking forward to your video on 2, lets see if I can finish 1 before you get to it
The thing that *actually* makes a Castlevania game a Castlevania game, are sad, beautiful men that I can call baby girl. But for real tho, I really like the designs for Simon and Trevor in this game. Alucard's design is a bit wonky, which is a shame because the character concept art of him looks cool as hell, and I wish they'd been able to adapt it a little closer to that. I will give them props tho for giving his coat that gold trim with horizontal buckles, that visually echoes SotN Alucard, without being an exact copy so as not to give the twist away.
Yeah the character designs go hard. They balance the ideas of the classic designs really well and even though I don't love Alucard's look it does still have cool details. I'm excited to see if Lords of Shadow 2 can iron out some of those gripes I have though!
😂1:19 This is exactly what 2d castlevania has always tried to be. For example, LOS didnt copy GOW, GOW translated castlevania into 3d before they did themselves on ps2. Lords of shadows is what castlevania always was.

Man, I wish mercury steam had made a 3d version of mirror of fate. All downhill after mirror of fate with a bump up with the revelations dlc
