Do you think that Konami is only producing series of Metal Gear Solid or Silent Hill?. You're wrong ! More than 30 titles in 23 years is an impressive result, especially since we are dealing with quite a simple game shares. Is it a Gothic atmosphere of the castle site, the charm of Count Dracula, bestiary, and can whip Pedigree clan Belmont confer any series of faithful followers - not quite know.

The hero of Shadow Lords will long Brunet named Gabriel, a member of Brotherhood of Light. On behalf of the organization, and desirous of revenge for the death of his wife, go out to fight the forces of Shadow Men title. Whether to trek in the great castle located on the top of the mountain, is the mask - a powerful artifact that gives power to the life and death? Is the power of the mask allows him revive his wife? Maybe. The mask appears frequently in materials relating to the game and will likely play an important role. And that, in principle, as much about the story. Until then, lacking a strong thread connecting the project implemented with the other series pageviews. There is not a word and its castle and other forms known from previous visits. While this may, if he had so carefully take, shown in the trailer look like a little fortress recalls the castle Dracula first Castlevania.

Suppose they somehow confirms Konami some strange behavior in the past year. First, at a trade fair Games Convention in Leipzig, the company showed a game trailer of Gabriel as a principal, but if the product is simply called Lords of Shadow. Literally a half months later, at the Tokyo Game Show Koji Igarashi, one of the fathers of the series, presented a movie "with a new Castlevania". Amazingly - as the main character are not Gabriel, but long haired, blonde reminding Alucarda, the son of Dracula views known in other series. It took eight consecutive months, and both came back to Gabriel, as well as to the title of Lords of Shadow, this time supplemented by Castlevania prefix.

The appearance, the way the combat system and shares Castlevania: Lords of Shadow recalls at first sight such titles as God of War, Devil May Cry series and even Prince of Persia (looking for speed and Susy, as Gabriel and think of how skilfully jumps on the walls). However, the game producer Dave Cox does not like such comparisons and the recent E3 trade fair said that the resulting work is exceptional and are not affected by any other production. Sure. We are all blind, and we believe it to word. Hideo Kojima himself unless it is not fully convinced of the "uniqueness" in the new game, since it announced its "support" and "cooperation". And that means that all the time will be, from the Spanish MercuryStream at hand.
