The acclaimed Castlevania: Lords of Shadow comes to PC for the first time, offering state of the art graphics that deliver an awesome game experience, plus add-on content (Reverie and Resurrection) included with the full game.
High caliber voice acting from the game's stunning cast, with Gabriel voiced by Robert Carlyle OBE (Once Upon a Time, 28 Weeks Later, Trainspotting, The Full Monty and Stargate Universe), and Sir Patrick Stewart (X-Men, Star Trek: Next Generation) as the mysterious Zobek. Natasha McElhone (The Other Boleyn Girl, Californication, The Truman Show) and Jason Isaacs (Black Hawk Down, The Patriot, Harry Potter series) round off the talent.

Product Description

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Ultimate Edition is the complete edition of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, a dark and vivid re-imagining of the Castlevania mythology.

It is the end of days and ungodly powers isolate the Earth. The World’s alliance with the Heavens has been threatened by a dark and malevolent force - the mysterious Lords of Shadow. Across this shattered land, the souls of the dead wander unable to find peace, whilst creatures of evil wreak chaos and death upon the living.

Gabriel Belmont is a member of the Brotherhood of Light, an elite group of holy knights who protect and defend the innocent against the supernatural. His beloved wife was brutally murdered by the evil forces of darkness and her soul trapped for eternity. Neither living nor dead, she realizes the horrific truth of what is at stake and guides Gabriel to his destiny - and hopefully salvation for the world.

In addition to the base game, Ultimate Edition also includes:

Reverie – DLC ($9.99 value)
Reverie marks a return to the game’s climactic castle setting as Gabriel seeks to assist the recently-slain vampire Queen’s hand maiden. The download spans three stages, and offers a breath-taking twist to the game’s plot.

Resurrection – DLC ($9.99 value)
Resurrection, which itself follows on from the completed Reverie, lays bare the fate of both Gabriel and the Belmont clan. Gabriel must battle an evil demon known only as ‘The Forgotten One’ that has broken loose of its ancient chains.

These new DLC levels provide a stunning finale to KONAMI’s epic tale of death, betrayal and redemption – with ‘The Forgotten One’ intent on destroying mankind, and only Gabriel standing between it and its goal...

Good for Castlevania Fans, and God of War fans.

Lords of Shadow is a fun game, but it suffers from a few flaws.

- Combat is less than stellar. Most encounters can be solved with the same combo, and most of the unlockable skills aren't useful at all.
- Combat in the air is even worse; virtually every enemy has a special attack to knock you down, making it a pain in the ass to fight while jumping.
- Combat, above all, feels like someone played God of War but didn't quite get what made it fun.

The scenery is brilliant all the way through. There's some backtracking for items, but nothing is truly hidden in a way that it's impossible to find as an observant player. My gripe with the graphics is, again, a comparison to God of War; entering new areas, the game will often wrest control of the camera from you to pan over the temple/fores/castle whatever. In God of War, often the dramatic pan is done while you're in full control, allowing you to experience it rather than watch a cutscene about it. This wouldn't be a huge problem, except there's always a couple of seconds delay before you can move again after focus returns to your character.

Also, Chupacabras are annoying as s***.

The Ultimate Edition includes the DLC packs, which is good, except for one thing. The first DLC pack is more of the "puzzle" pack, and includes more plot. The second DLC pack is the "combat" pack, and suffers from all of the flaws of combat magnified; especially given that the boss requires combat in the air for much of the later fight.

As a reboot of the franchise, the game is interesting. The plotline is quite enticing, and makes me look forward to the next game in the series. Unfortunately, Lords of Shadow simply doesn't have that Castlevania feel; no doubt in part because of the modular nature of disconnected levels and the lack of a single massive castle to explore at your leisure. It really feels more like a decent God of War clone than anything else.

Excellent first try

A different take on the Castlevania mythos. Instead of relying on the old monster movie mash-up, they decided to take what what was already in the franchise and see if they could use European mythology.

Combat is fairly God of War, however you'll find that using the more advanced moves can make combat easier. You can use the same combo in combat but it's not nearly as cool to watch and takes longer.

The art direction is pretty amazing at times, it takes a bit for it to really kick in, once you're in vampire (bat) country the acid kicks in and the art really shines.

The music is very well done, you won't really hear old themes from the series.

Overall if you enjoy action games like God of War (which has combat based off of the 3D Castlevanias) and don't mind a different take on the franchise, give it a chance. The extra levels (Reveire and Resurrection) are a bit of a mess, but do help set up the epilogue seen after you beat the last boss.

Good game

If you've played God of War or any of it's clones (such as this), then you'll know what to expect out of this game. The game has good voice actors and the combat is done well. As i'm not much of a castlevania expert, I can't tell you how good the story is in relation to the past castlevania games, but on it's own, it's serviceable. It's nothing too special but it ain't horrible. The graphics in this game are good too. The art direction is fantastic, and the locales all have character. My only real issue with the game is the fixed camera at some points. The camera placements aren't exactly great all the time (remember RE1?). If you're needing that action game fix, sorta interested/wondering how castlevania is now, then pick it up, otherwise skip it.

underrated game

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2014

This game is way better than what some people are saying in the reviews. My biggest complant is the fixed camera but there is only like 2 times throughout the whole game that it kida sucks the rest of them time you barley even notice because the camera angle is perfect for the action. The best work is the voice acting and contary to what some say on here it has a really good story too, just remember this is a reboot (telling of the original story) so its different. All in all I would highly recommend this game

Very fun game!

This game was a gift for my girlfriend as I knew she's been wanting this game for a while now. She gives this game a 4/5 stars and explains that it is a very fun-filled game from what she's played so far but, is also very linear and you can't really explore the areas which would have been the fifth star because exploring always adds that extra bit of fun in games! The graphics and soundtrack to the game were also pretty good. If you plan on buying this game, I hope you enjoy it! ;D

Great game, Decent Port. Fantastic Voice acting.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 4, 2013

Fantastic game. This is a pretty straight forward port to PC, that is redeemable on Steam. It comes with all DLC. It has 1080 support and a few other options. The game truly shines in narrative and story line. Patrick Stewart helps make this game come to life with his style of story telling. The combat could have used a bit of more variation but it does not draw from the actual experience. All in all I would recommend this to any action game fan but not necessarily to people who are obsessed with the older Castlevanias.

Not the game you were probably looking for.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 5, 2014

It's basically God of War meets Uncharted when you boil it down, spiced with Castlevania lore shoutouts. Difficulty is actually quite high for a game like this, as I died quite frequently. I've no shame in admitting I've since been playing on Squire. Some of the puzzles are a bit bad at letting you know what you need to do (so I should knock this thing down to make a path? What?), or what can be done (can I actually jump this?), or what you can see (the camera is frequently atrocious).

It's also an incredibly long winded game from the length of the campaign, to the loading screen exposition; they really got Patrick Stewart to WORK for his paycheque.

At the end of the day, there will be people that really enjoy this, but I can't quite recommend it to others looking for a more polished and tighter game.
