Dark the gameplay you can see from the Konami conference, which showed images of fighting.
In addition, the demo will be at E3 alpha, those who are lucky may try it in person, it shows the entire first chapter, until at the end of it with Alucard with a boss who is seen in the trailer.
By the way for history, MoF reveals a lot, this is taken from a post in NeoGaf:
- At a time, the Toy Maker was the brightest pupil of Rinaldo Gandolfi. However, at some point in time, a curse was placed on him by Walter Bernhard, a member of the Bernhard family.
The exact effects of the curse are unknown, but from then on, the Toy Maker used his knowledge and skills to craft weapons of death and destruction, some being the Dark Pain, the attachement for the Improved Dark Pain, the Stopwatch, and the Macabre Puppet, and Gargoyles.
- Most of the Toy Maker's backstory or references to his technology is told through scattered Brotherhood scrolls. Some of it appears in the description for Dark Pain and Improved Dark Pain weapons, and description for the Stop Watch, and some of the other sub weapons in the game. He also has his own Bestiary listing, though he is not actually ever fought.
- There is one reference to Frankenstein's experiments in one of the Toy Maker's rooms in a Brotherhood scroll. This may suggest that the Toy Maker's identity may be that of Frankenstein, or that he has continued Frankenstein's research. But it's not clear.
- Much of the technology in his various labs are very similar to those used by Frankenstein in his own sections of the castle as seen in Lords of Shadow. Including electrical pylons and heavy use of machinery. Although the Toy Maker does seem to take some of his own technology into a more darkly whimsical direction. The Toy Maker also seems to rely more on a mix of magical alchemy and science, where as friedrich more on science alone.
- The Stopwatch is similar to the time machine technology Frankenstein was working on, based on the research of Emmet Marron.
- The Toy Maker in Mirror of Fate worked on some similar technology as Frankenstein, including experiments into time. It is unclear if the Toy Maker is using the research of Frankenstein or may in fact be the same mad doctor. Both the Toy Maker and Frankenstein were both employed by the Bernhard family, and both were "cursed" by the family.
The key is travel time to seek redemption. I do not like the idea that the game can end well, with Gabriel coming together with Maria, I hope at least the option of a tragic end.
My vote is that we face the genuine evil that is behind the back of Satan, brotherhood of light. We travel back in time to prevent the appearance of the Lord of Shadow Carmilla, Cornell ... try to avoid our own destiny .. Gabriel could be that guy ...
