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

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate (3DS) > Opinions (20)


	supernihilist posted 23/01/2014, 04:00 oh man,..... dat flopness this game doesnt look cheap at all. i really blame the lack of advertising for this bad sales...i still think this number is way too low. prolly undertracked. plus its also available digitally and was part of a Nintendo club campaign too... i dont know..what a shame Message \| Report
	Soma posted 18/09/2013, 01:32 Finally finished the game, a bit repetitive at first but once you learn more techniques I enjoyed more the combat system. Good game imo, nice story (although I didn't like the trevor-alucard stuff). Some musics are good but others a bit boring, I missed the classic Castlevania melodies. But overall I really enjoyed the game, I started it again but now on Hardcore :) Message \| Report
	Fusioncode posted 14/09/2013, 11:03 I disagree, just because they've been doing handheld metroidvanias doesn't mean they are all the same. Order of Ecclesia and Portrait of Ruin did a lot to mix up the gameplay. It's not like they kept making the same game over and over again, they stuck to the same genre but changed things up with each installment. Each of the DS games felt varied and unique. I also loved those games, thought they were the best titles on the handheld. I hated this game however, felt like an awkward attempt to mimic Igarashi's style while adding in elements from Lords of Shadow. I'd much rather have another set of excellent metroidvanias than more of this game. Message \| Report
	oniyide posted 14/09/2013, 05:47 are you kidding Fusioncode? all they have been doing is metroidvanias, just about all the portable games since GBA have been metriodvanias, i for one im glad they are not just sticking to that formula and trying something different. Especially since none of those metroidvanias are as good as SOTN anyway Message \| Report
	Fusioncode posted 31/08/2013, 06:18 Maybe this will convince Konami to make some more metroidvanias Message \| Report

	RaitheNoblesse posted 07/04/2013, 09:54 these sales are not fair... (it should as one of the best handheld versions, at least...) but trully, after some fuck up 3D versions, incl. the "fight game", many are afraid when they glance at the box cover-art (and back-cover).. and the medicore metacore doens't help either... (IGN are idiots...) his game is a audio/visual masterpiece on the 3DS.... and it has what Casltevania is all about, great atmosphere with cool fights & jump'n run parts...., and it even has a "story"..

	S.Peelman posted 01/04/2013, 08:38 On Vita the game wouldn't have sold any better. Castlevania's are never big seller. On this site, the biggest game by far (SotN) is only at 1.27m. The majority is under half a million. It's amazing really that a series that sells so little can live on for 25 years now. It'll leg it out to around the DS and GBA levels of the series (0.2-0.3m).

	RaitheNoblesse posted 27/03/2013, 09:11 these low sales due to the crapy box cover-art (and back-cover) and some BS low reviewes.... (and many who are "fixated" on "Castleroids" Gameplay...) even if it isn't SOTN and it has room for improvment, it still catches the true Castelvania flair better than those "Castleroids"...., and Mirror of Fate looks looks gorgeous... like it more than Kid Icarus and it deserves to sale at least as much...

	AkiraGr posted 26/03/2013, 05:45 Good game, nice reboot for the series but as an old school castlevania fan I was expecting this sales. It alienates the fans of igavanias with the modern approach for mainstream success but destroyed even the niche appeal the old castlevania had. Lets see how Lords of Shadow 2 will do if Konami will put to rest once the for all this franchise. Konami and Nintendo will cry bloody tears after this sales if accurate. Message \| Report

	think-man posted 19/03/2013, 04:24 Horrible horrible sales, I think it would have been more suited for the Vita tbh Message \| Report
	venuse8102 posted 19/03/2013, 02:25 ouch i was expecting more Message \| Report
	acdcste posted 18/03/2013, 09:13 Didnt expect this to do well. I think 150k maximum for this game lifetime. I think monster hunter will be dissapointing sales wise as well when we bet the numbers in. Message \| Report
	oniyide posted 18/03/2013, 01:46 i dont get it, its not like the DS castlevania lit the charts on fire, this could leg out and sell on par with those, but thats about it Message \| Report
	DieAppleDie posted 18/03/2013, 01:31 o: expected way more sales tbh...still i dont like modern Castlevania at all, so i dont care....burn! Message \| Report
	eyezofnight posted 17/03/2013, 04:25 i'll pick this up once I finish Fire Emblem Message \| Report
	Jankelope posted 16/03/2013, 02:56 Pretty Abysmal sales. Pretty poor critic reviews helped that. Doesn't really deserve more than 100k Message \| Report
	F0X posted 15/03/2013, 02:06 I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that this isn't going to light the chartz on fire. Message \| Report
