![]() There are also special abilities that are performed via the d-pad and multiple attack variations that can be unlocked throughout. There are two special weapons the can be selected once unlocked: the Void Sword with L1, which regains health taken from enemies, and Chaos Claws with R1, which breaks an enemy’s defenses. Holding L2 and moving the analog stick triggers a dodge, while hitting X jumps. Square does a direct attack, Circle an area attack and L2 blocks. Combat has been tweaked a bit from the previous game, remaining relatively simply. Taking place in the era of the first game, players move Gabriel through a quick tutorial before taking on a gigantic mechanical golem (note: it is the exact portion of the game that was demoed at E3 2013, which I was mildly impressed with). The gameplay of Lords of Shadow 2 starts off strong. 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. the weed of rain falls atmospheric the sound all around you and your surround sound and a feeling that this is the most scary and longest night in your life because the tension is always there you always feel like you're just a little stiff from dying and the gameplay and story show it Any if you're into AA games, it's going to be a fun experience and it's a fun Japanese spin on a survival/stealth games.The first game I ever reviewed for Hardcore Gamer was Vampire Rain. ![]() You don't have enough bullets to really fight you have to pick your battles and it's so fun and interesting to do. The enemy are exodus scary to fight because they can kill you in one or two hits so you have to avoid them as much as possible and when you find get a gun that can kill den. You don't have enough bullets to really fight you have to pick your battles and it's A really underrated game that is really fun if you sit yourself into the Mechanics and enjoy a more slow pace but tvilling game.
