Source: http://www.joystiq.com/2014/03/14/castlevania-mirror-of-fate-hd-sinks-its-fangs-into-steam-later/

Quote:
Originally released on Nintendo's handheld as a bridge between Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and the recently-released Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Mirror of Fate sees Trevor Belmont traversing the familiar gothic climes of Dracula's domain. Gameplay is a cross between the action-focused Lords of Shadow games and those Castlevania entries (mostly notably Castlevania: Symphony of the Night) that focus on 2D exploration.

The PC incarnation of Mirror of Fate is based on the more recent PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games, which means that it comes equipped with high-definition graphics, online leaderboards and a Boss Rush mode. New to the PC game are Steam Achievements, though they should be essentially identical to the Achievements and Trophies found in the Xbox 360 and PS3 games, respectively.

I hope this one sells a FUCKTON of copies, enough to show Konami that the proper 2D, side-scrolling, CV titles should still be their focus Smile

Yup! To be honest, I don't know why Konami hasn't licensed the entire catalogue for resale on the PC. The VirtualConsole has the classic, and phenomenal, Rondo of Blood as well as the NES originals CV/CV2SQ/CV3 and SNES SCIV. Konami could get together with DotEmu, the porting masters, and release a "Castlevania Collection" and I'd snap it up, whether I have the ROMs or not Very Happy

Yup! That's another compilation that would sell; an upscaled/resed GBA/NDS sextet! All three GBA originals and all three NDS ones So Much Win

Mostly linear, supposedly taking inspiration from Super Castlevania IV apparently.

This needed it's own thread why?

aka Metroidvania gameplay titles

Mirror of fate is NOTHING like metroidvania games, it is pretty much Rondo of Blood with no actual freedom of exploration or anything that SoTN can offer.

So no, I hope it won't do any better.

I'm okay with handheld Castlevanias and I want more lie DS ones.

Because it's a new, standalone, game? Why wouldn't it need its own thread? Very Happy

Hopefully this one will be better than Lord Of Shadows 2, which gave the undeserving coup the grace to the poor Castlevania franchise (for me at least)

I just tried this for a while out of curiosity, it wasn't exactly a great experience..
It's yet another shoddy port (why I'm not surprised) where mouse&kb controls are rough as hell, as expected.

I'm still at the beginning, but gameplay-wise it's linear and kinda simplistic, with robotic animations and dated models/textures. The game doesn't look good in HD, even if it's supposedly "HD", it's like going back to the glorious PS2 era Razz

Seems like an okay-ish timewaster, but nothing more than that (imo), it's basically a side-scrolling Lord of Shadows spin-off, though not as refined as the 'main game', and obviously miles away from the classics Okay

Does anyone else experience bad sound in this game? Seems like the ambient noises are too loud and overpower the speech and music, also some sounds cut out completely if I stand a certain distance away from their source.
