Where Lords of Shadow 2 shines is in its combat. Gabriel Belmont – now known as Dracula – feels a lot like Kratos does in the God of War games, with fierce and light attacks that can be used in conjunction with one another to devastate your foes. I especially loved the depth of the new experience system, which opens up a litany of new moves as you fight. The fact that this system encourages and rewards using all of the moves at your disposal forces some depth into the experience.
Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 Pre-Installed Game
You can enjoy how Dracula has three core weapons at his disposal that all have different purposes. His standard whip attack will do the trick for the most part, but his Chaos Claws and Void Sword – both fueled by limited magic gauges – add a special dynamic to combat, especially because you have to use them with regularity. The Chaos Claws can pound through enemy armor and shields (in addition to causing massive damage), while the Void Sword is weak, but heals Dracula with every successful swipe. There are ancillary additions to Lords of Shadow 2 that make combat stand apart from the original – including a handful of special items that you may barely even use – but switching between Chaos Claws, the Void Sword, and the whip always kept you on your toes.
