Once upon a moonlit night in the cursed land of Castlevania, our protagonist, Gabriel Belmont, learns of a mysterious mask rumored to have the power to resurrect the dead. With a heartbroken widow as his motivation, Gabriel embarks on an unforgettable adventure filled with danger, dark secrets, and hilarious encounters.
In "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow," we witness the evolution of the combat system that was first introduced in the series' predecessor, "Lament of Innocence." Gabriel's fighting skills have been honed to perfection, with a touch of inspiration from the legendary "God of War" series. Prepare yourself for some epic and violent kills that will leave you both amazed and laughing out loud.

From ancient ruins to towering castles, the game's environments tickle the senses with a combination of gothic architecture and eye-popping visuals.

As Gabriel delves deeper into the mystery of the mask and the dark forces at play, he must face formidable bosses that test his skills and resolve.
