Topic: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate 3DS (Discussion Thread)

Well, finally got a chance to play and beat the demo in-between classes today (US citizen here, btw). Now, I am a person who has liked all the games in the series prior to LoS. LoS just did not click with me. The environments in LoS where pretty, but that's about all I liked of LoS.

Now, as for Mirror of Fate. Overall, I actually liked the demo. I didn't really have a problem with the controls and I thought everything played fine. My only complaint like someone else mentioned is that for me, it was hard to tell if the subweapon was actually doing any damage. The music was pretty bland in my opinion too, but obviously this is not the full game, so the full game might have some better music maybe.

I actually had fun playing the demo. I was worried since I didn't like LoS, but MoF doesn't seem bad. I remember when MoF was first announced I was excited about it, cause it did look good, but I was remaining cautious seeing as I disliked LoS. Hopefully the full game is not disappointing, but I like what I've seen and played so far.

Did you charge the boomerangs up? Their one hit kills and I believe they posses stun effects with the purple electricity and all that jazz.

See Crisis? Its all your fault, stop trolling Konami hiding their money and return to the forums. xD

I say Crisis because I do not know the word in English to say when you have no money... XD. And the previous post was respondiento another that spoke of a rumor of a new set of MS on CV, but the post is gone ... would be a fake ..

[Dremn]

Well im a glutton for spoilers but I'll be a nice guy and not mention them here. Especially if it relates to THAT certain issue.

Edit: Man I keep hearing that the final game is not nearly as bad as the demo is, what the hell Konami, you trying to NOT get people to like this game?

I'm a glutton for spoilers myself, hit a brother up.

[Bergaron]

Uhhh.. What's fake B? 

Also does anyone here think that if "team A" worked on mof we would not be in this predicament?

Forgot my post! i was answer a wrong post!!
spoke of a new CV of MS, but I was totally confused. I got confused, the news was about MoF.

Edit: But what he said is true and makes me think, did not lay off anyone and left over 25 people right now unless you are doing something for the PS4 (its logo appeared)

Only thing I disliked was whip swing mechanics but I got used to them real fast.  It just felt weird.

No, I didn't! I clearly need to play the demo again. I didn't know that you could charge the boomerang.

The controls in MoF makes me realize how incredibly tight the DS Castlevanias were. Controlling Trevor is anything but tight, but the more I play the demo the more comfortable I feel.

I felt that way too. Its strange how even classic style games like Adventure Rebirth still feel like you have more control.

After finishing the demo, I still don't feel very strongly either way. There were some enemies that only took a couple hits to kill, and some of the skeletons attack you in the classic style. I still feel the combat leaves a lot to be desired. You could just use the long range attack over and over, and you would even hit the projectiles out of the way doing that. Its far too powerful. I'll probably wait for this game to drop in price before picking it up. It didn't feel like a strong entry for the series. Also, the somewhat dynamic camera was just annoying in my opinion. It should stay still, its a 2D game...

Yeah the boomerang is op

helps me with the final boss in the demo takes a small fraction of it's health when it rushes me. I have 6 Boomerangs right? That right there is alot of damage provided you can charge it up. Got to find the space and time to do it.

Again my problem is that the demo is hecka easy and for the most part the controls work well for me heck mostly everything works for me mostly (the chain grapple swing thing should just be r and then use the circle pad no need for b in my opinion)

[Kingshango]

The charge boomerang plus the hold Y combo does ridiculous amounts of damage from what I've seen. Takes an enemy's health down quick, including the boss.

Edit: And if you press L and hold Y there's a guard breaker that should break through the skeletons shield leaving it open to attack.

[Akuma]

Which gives people little reason to complain about enemies being sponges.

Need a 3DS, need.....

You can't have mine.

takes too long for my taste I use just guarding instead.
