Is it still worth playing?

MercurySteam's 2010 action adventure for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, a reboot of Castlevania set in medieval Southern Europe. Gabriel Belmont hunts the Lords of Shadow to resurrect his wife. Combat centers on the Combat Cross, a retractable chain whip with up to forty unlockable combos, which works with secondary weapons such as knives and holy water. You unlock Light and Shadow magic: Light magic restores health and Shadow magic boosts attack power, so you balance the two. Levels are tightly linear, with a fixed camera, wall climbing and puzzles, and large bosses called titans. Alternating healing and attack magic mid fight still makes every combat a balance you choose.
