It would be easy to criticizeCastlevania: Lords of Shadowfor not being a “real”Castlevania, abandoning as it does all of the trappings that have made previous games familiar. It bears little resemblance to either the original platform games or the relatively recent “Metroidvania” titles. In fact,Lords of Shadowresembles aCastlevaniagame almost solely in name only.
