![]() ![]() Castlevania has never exactly been known for its story, but you think that somebody could at least take a stab at coming up with someone remotely original and sensible. Quite honesty, it’s just as convoluted as ever (if not more so) and is a constant drag. The Belmont clan, however, have other ideas and become another obstacle in Gabriel’s possibly noble quest. Zobek convinces Gabriel to regain his strength by defeating the acolytes so he will be strong enough to face off against Satan. Satan’s acolytes are preparing for their father’s return and have little fear due to Gabriel’s deteriorating condition. One day, Zobek comes to his castle and informs Gabiel of a threat to the world. Centuries later, Gabriel is a dying vampire with barely enough strength to sit atop his throne. ![]() I’m not even going to bother trying to sift my way through the incredibly convoluted and repetitive plot of the Lords of Shadow series, so here’s the jist of it: Gabriel Belmont became Dracula and was killed by his son and grandson never to be heard from again…or so they thought. That’s right: Lords of Shadow 2 is the Vampire Rain of the Castlevania series. Shockingly, it wouldn’t be another game in that series or similar shovelware product to recall those feelings, but Castlevania. Years passed and the horribleness that was Vampire Rain had all but faded from my mind. I swore I’d never review the series again, refusing to touch the shocking port/redux of the game, Altered Species. It was an uneasy mix of stealth and shooter mechanics all blended into a very substandard package. Of course, it became clear within minutes that I was reviewing a horrible game a very horrible game. I loved vampires and thought rain was pretty alright, so it was a project I was more than happy to take on.
