It can’t be too hard for Dracula to access them, but it mustn’t be too easy either. Not too far away, but not in the exact same place he found them. So Alucard must take the weapons from one location and put them in another.
Dracula must take this quest of his own volition. Oh, but he can’t just give Dracula the weapons or leave them in his coffin. Forces are conspiring against the still sleeping Dracula and unless Alucard recovers the Void Sword and Chaos Claws his father will be helpless to stop Satan. Rather than revealing some deeper backstory for Alucard or his motivations, he is instead reduced to being a glorified courier. “Revelations” is a pointless, hollow and criminally boring addition to an already average game. With trembling hands I did and I played the DLC from start to finish in one session. I was hopeful that this add-on could in some ways atone for the main game, while simultaneously dreading having to put the disc back into my PS3.
When “Revelations” - the DLC focusing on Alucard - came across my desk, I felt a mixture of hope and dread. In my review, I called it “an example of the staleness, lack of innovation and everything and the kitchen sink approach to game design” we seem to be seeing more often these days. I was not a fan of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.
