MercurySteam is most recently known as the developer behind Metroid Dread. But it is arguably more famous for developing the acclaimed 2010 game Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, which it created for Konami (with help from Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions).

Its new game, Blades of Fire, which releases on May 22, is not a sequel to Lords of Shadow. It is an original game and universe, but it feels reminiscent in ways that are intriguing.

Join Game Informer's Kyle Hilliard and Marcus Stewart as they check out gameplay, take on a boss, and discuss the unique layout for the game's combat.
