Agreed, I always kind of thought Satan was a shitty villain. Popped out of nowhere in the first game but at least the final fight had scale then. Just possesses Alucard now and does not even have a final form even though he fits the FF stereotype for final boss so well.
Hope the Alucard DLC improves on the story or at least expands on it.
So LoS2 is a letdown compared to LoS?

also i forgot to add another huge missed opportunity in lords of shadow2 is not being able to fight the final acolyte
I only played NES era Castlevanias.
I really liked the toy maker bit in LoS 2. That, and the Zobek fight. Zobek in general was a smooth bastard.

I hang out alot at my own Discord server, though there isn't really much activity in there. The Art Haus Chatterbox!Accepting commissions. Do you want some art done, and do you want it done for cheap? PM me, man, and we can talk.Currently not taking any commissions, sorry!
HAHAHAHA. NO.
It is some of the worst DLC I have ever come across. I beat it in about an hour without that much difficulty, it only has two boss fights and neither is that good. The puzzle sections aren't bad but there is so little new area to explore it's sad and worst of all it literally adds nothing to the plotline I can summarize it perfectly without using any spoilers. Alucard pulls his sword out of Drac's chest then gets a message from his dead mom that the castle is hiding Drac's weapons and he has to go get them back.
That is the plot. I was gutted when I reached the end and realized how little it added.
As for the Satan fight I didn't like it because of how few block-able attacks he has. Seriously he has what, one of them, two? I had spent the previous half of the game learning how to block properly then this happened.
Better than the LoS 1 fight though. That was too easy, you just spammed ultimate shadow and you wrecked him.
I have no rhythm though so I spent a whole hour trying to get through those alternating light and shadow barriers.
those were a bit irritating but the fact that you had unlimited magic and essentially unlimited health made it much easier. Which reminds me why do they have the magic work the same in every game? I was slightly disappointed when I started LoS2 and I realized that his super duper vampire powers were just reworks of his magic from the previous game. Then Alucard has them too in the DLC. I was sad.
Glad I never bought the DLC then.
Yeah it sucked, I think they added two new enemies and one of them was boring (a bigger knight) and the other was cheap as fuck. It was a bloody skeleton using a spear. Not only did the spear make it out range you and attack to damn well, Alucard has no attacks that hit the ground worth shit, so even if you killed one odds are you weren't going to get the blood afterwards.
Pretty much the hardest fight in the DLC was when you had to fight three of them at once.
Do you think konami will keep doing castlevania (at least another good one) or is Igarashi leaving Konami the final nail in the coffin. I'm sure he'll make a brilliant metroidvania styled game that's basically castlevania just not in name.
