In Castlevania: Lords of shadow, Count Dracula is trapped into his castle, and the villagers and soldiers are trying to take down the gates to kill him.
The developers recommend using a gamepad to play the game, although it is possible to use your computer's keyboard. Nevertheless, it is extremely difficult to play with the keyboard, since there are many keys to use. Also, you need to combine the keyboard with the mouse to use certain functions. The default key combinations are rather unusual since you need to use certain alphanumeric keys instead of the accustomed arrows to move the character. Also, the game is resource-intensive, so it would be better if you play it on a game-optimized computer.
In sum, if you like action games with a touch of gore, this one is for you. Please note that the game is not recommended for small kids, so you need to enter your birth date in order to have access to the game site. You need to install the Steam platform to play the game.
