It's a compromise between action and exploration, between the series' history and contemporary trends, between traditional presentation and modern technology. It's the best Castlevania game we've played in years and it might be the best action game we've ever played on a handheld console.
Mirror of Fate takes its cues from MercurySteam’s 2010 console title, Lords of Shadow, and mixes in some light Metroid exploration elements. Once you’ve got your head around that, you’re in for an adventure that successfully fuses Castlevania’s new flavor with the franchise’s 2D roots.

Mercury Steam continues to demonstrate its talent in this new contribution to its Lords of Shadow reboot of the Castlevania series. Beautifully transposed to 2,5D gameplay, this 3DS title brings back together demanding platforming and deep combat mechanics, in an accessible mix that only lacks a little more puzzles and, for old-timers, challenge.
All things considered, Mirror of Fate is still a decent game, one that is merely injured by some elements of poor design. It’s a unique approach to rebooting a franchise, one that doesn’t seek to reestablish the rules, but instead utilize them as a guide, thus allowing this new version to travel its own direction.
These complaints ultimately make Castlevania: Lords of Shadow- Mirror of Fate disposable and just short of being considered a classic, but so long as you except the game for what it is, you'll most likely have a zombie-whipping good time.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate is a game that tries to take the best of both new and old Castlevania but ultimately comes up short all round.
Castlevania isn’t brutish — it is a test of your agility and your willingness to overcome nearly impossible odds. Mirror of Fate really wants to dazzle you with clever puzzles and name dropping fan-favorite characters, but it can’t emulate the soul of the series.
This is the best 3DS game, i loved the story and music, game-play is also good, i re-played this game, and i still want to play the HD version, this was better than clos2 in my opnion

Despite some of the graphics that are pretty nice and some impressive 3D effects, the game itself is so boring and guided that it's more like watching a show than playing an actual game. I hate that bosses are weakened the second time we try to beat them, and those cinematic shots that just ask you to press X or B or something like that in order to deal the final blow. I'm glad I got this game for only 12$ so it's not such a big waste of money, but it's still a huge disappointment after playing the previous handheld Castlevania titles!

En español: Si el mayor error del primer juego de la trilogía fue tratar de ser un God Of War y pervertir la historia tomándose demasiadas licencias al punto de parecer una burla a la saga original mas que un reboot digno este juego es parecía el punto culmen de ese burdo intento de reboot de una ya decadente Konami. Mirror of Fate Flaquea en cuanto a Graficos, variedad de enemigos, combinaciones de movimientos, Musica calcada a una pelicula de cine siendo poco memorable, exploración y lo mas horrible de todo: Gameplay.
Es horrible pasar por habitacion tras habitación sin gracia, sin enemigos y sin desafios, cosas de las que un buen Hack n' Slash se precian. Algunos escenarios son tediosos, acertijos simplones y enemigos sacados del mas vulgar de los rpg, una vergüenza como Hack n' Slash, como juego de accion y como Castlevania
MercurySteam fue una pésima elección, cuesta creer que el genio Hideo Kojima pusiera sus ojos en un estudio que no sabe manejar una historia con tanto potencial, y por sobre todo cuesta pensar que en Konami permitieran que esto fuera un intento de reboot de Castlevania. La peor inversión en un videojuego que he hecho. Insípido y sin Gracia, un 1
