As a franchise, Castlevania has been in some very rough
waters. It’s DS trilogy didn’t sell well, despite being great games, and the
series had been losing steam quickly. It needed a shake up. It got the shake up
in the terrible Castlevania Judgment for the Wii. It was a fighter game, that
by all measures, stank on ice, but its ending was an interesting one. You see,
you are made to fight a time distortion, one that kind of erases everything, or
threatens to. It completely throws the timeline off track in a way similar to
the Star Trek Reboot. After beating it, I knew a reboot was inevitable. Enter
Lords of Shadow.
