Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Expansions & DLCs

Action 07 June 2011

The second story-based expansion for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - a third-person hack and slash game created by Konami and the Spanish team at Mercury Steam, the latter popular mainly for Clive Barker: Jericho. The Resurrection expansion brings a finale to both the stories of the core game and the first DLC - Reverie. The player participates in subsequent adventures of Gabriel Belmont who travels to the Underworld in order to strike the ultimate blow against the evil awakened after the defeat of the titular Lords of Shadow. The expansion does not bring any changes to the gameplay mechanics of the core game, focusing mainly on the plot and a spectacular ending of the entire story.

The first DLC expansion for 2010's Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. The Reverie expansion is set between the ending and the epilogue of the core game. The player once again assumes the role of Gabriel Belmont, who decides to help the Queen of Vampires by the name of Laura - a former subordinate of Carmilla, whom Gabriel defeated in the base game. Both the characters set out for a dangerous journey, during which they encounter powerful, dark forces awakened after the defeat of Lords of Shadow. What was not the case in the core game, is an opportunity to play as a different character - the expansion puts the player in the shoes of Laura as well. Contrary to the base game featuring real-time cutscenes, the expansion offers an impressive equivalent in the form of an animated comic strip.
