Mirror of Fate distills the gothic melodrama of the Lords of Shadow reboot into a 2.5D action-platformer. Combat is a brutal ballet of dodges, parries, and chained attacks, demanding mastery of a diverse arsenal of weapons and spells. The game's structure, hopping between different characters and time periods, keeps things fresh, though the story's convoluted nature may leave some players lost in the Belmont family tree.
