Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

Satan is about to return, and only Dracula can stop him and his minions from destroying the world.

If he succeeds, Zobek promises to free him from the curse of immortality.

But before Dracula can take the fight to Satan's acolytes, he will have to recover his old powers.

As its predecessor, Lords of Shadow 2 combines exploration of 3D environments (now with full control of the camera), melee combat and platforming sequences.

Instead of a linear succession of levels, however, Lords of Shadow 2 offers a semi-open structure, more similar in spirit to Symphony of the Night .

The game alternates between sequences set in modern-day Wygol City, as Dracula tries to undermine the efforts of Satan's acolytes, and dreamlike visits to Dracula's castle.

The Prince of Darkness must explore the now-hostile fortress to locate his lost powers and other upgrades.

New gameplay features include a new set of weapons and abilities for the protagonist, like the Void Sword capable of draining the enemies' health and the Chaos Claws used to break shields/armors and other destructible objects.

Dracula can also use various vampire powers, such as drinking blood to restore his health or turning into a plague of rats during stealth sequences.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 for PlayStation 3 is currently worth €36.00 loose, €35.02 complete in box, and €52.49 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

For Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, loose is €36.00 and CIB is €35.02 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
