About

A darkness falls over the brotherhood, and the only way forward is back through the bloodline. Released on March 5, 2013 by Konami and developed by MercurySteam, Mirror of Fate is a side-scrolling action-platformer in the Metroidvania tradition, turning away from the 3D vistas of its predecessor to explore the castle from within. Its story moves through several generations of the Belmont line, and each hunter who walks those halls must face the fate that waits behind the glass.

First conjured for the Nintendo 3DS, the game later spread to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Microsoft Windows. It is remembered as a handheld chapter of the Lords of Shadow saga, and for binding its exploration to the family whose blood the castle was always meant to claim.
