400 years have passed since the vampire Kain damned the world in the original Blood Omen, choosing to rule the world in damnation rather than die for its salvation. Now Kain, who once controlled the land of Nosgoth with his vampire armies, finds his brethren slain and his dark powers stripped by a mysterious figure. To reclaim his rule and exact his vengeance, Kain must dispatch armies of zealot soldiers and overcome legions of demons in order to uncover the ominous plot that threatens the land he seeks to conquer.
Blood Omen 2, the second instalment in the Legacy of Kain Series, is a 3rd person 3D action/combat game in which you assume the role of the vampire Kain. A compelling story takes you through huge, lushly detailed 3D environments and challenges your skills in combat, puzzle solving, stealth and exploration. With each success, you’ll gain new dark gifts that will grant Kain the ability to access treacherous new areas to explore and the power to face stronger, more aggressive enemies. As you develop a stronger, more skilled vampire, you’ll be rewarded with dozens of dazzling in-game cinematic sequences that unfold the continuing epic of Nosgoth, and Kain’s attempts to ultimately rule over it.
Move through crowds unseen cloaked in stealth, travel stories above the peasant herds on which you feed leaping from rooftop to rooftop, and use mind-control on hapless fools to help you overcome vampire-proof inventions.
Unleash your wrath in a lushly detailed, blood-chilling gothic environment that is not only gorgeous to the eye, but also alive with the soon to be dead.
Beautifully choreographed combat with surgical precision as you engage armies of demons and humans alike.
It didn't take very long to get it running stable but the port itself was originally made pretty poorly. I couldn't recommend it over the console versions, purely for control problems.
For starters, the game has issues running on modern systems- do a search for the Revamped mod, which is small and easy to install. I didn't encounter any bugs after adding that.
As for the game itself, it shares some of the weaknesses of Soul Reaver 2- it's extremely linear, with none of the exploration or secrets of the first two LoK games, just a long series of tedious battles and easy puzzles standing between you and the next cutscene. The combat is very repetitive and gets old quickly, and while it's not too difficult, on rare occasions the enemy will decide to cheese their unblockable super damage move five times in a row, usually with no time to dodge, forcing you to replay long sections every now and then. The special skills are clunky and awkward to switch between and use, which the game requires you to do often.
The game lacks the intrigue or sophisticated dialog of other entries in the series, being mostly simplistic bickering between Kain at his most shallowly evil and various vampires, several of them dressed in ridiculous bondage gear- though it is all, at least, well voice-acted. You can skip this entry in the series entirely and not really miss anything terribly important to the overall storyline that isn't summarized in another, better game.
The graphics are muddy and ugly, with lots of brown brick industrial areas and murky water, though it gets slightly better after the first few levels. The concept art in the end credits indicates that they had some pretty interesting ideas, but the majority of them didn't make it into the game and the ones that did were ill-served by the limitations of the Playstation 2 era. The cutscenes are unskippable, even the ones in the midst of boss battles or in long stretches with no checkpoints.
I'm not sure what else to say- it's just not a very good game. The level design and gameplay were good enough to get me through to the end without wanting to simply drop the game and forget about it, but only barely. It might be worth playing for Legacy of Kain completionists who love the series and don't want to skip anything (which is why I finally got around to doing it), but you're going to be disappointed and you're unlikely to ever play it a second time in the future.
Do you like Vampires? I mean "REAL" Vampires? Those kinds of vampires who get what they want with an AXE or with some vampire magics like becoming frikken Berserker and slicing the meaty, tasty humans and drinking em up afterwards.
Long story short. Great Action Adventure game with some puzzles.Combat is fun with many enemy types with different behavior, many weapons to pick up, fun blood magics to use. Easy to understand and entertaining from begginging to end.
Show some love for cool Vampires and pick this game up
