Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

When I found out that the first game in the Kain series was on GOG, I couldn't believe it. It is a must have in your collection. It is about the Nosgoth principle, a gothic and bloody land, where time and space break apart. You are Kain, a vampire who seeks revenge for corruption and betrayal. Simply put, it is one of the most interesting bets in the world of video games, a mix that takes the best of many things from its time, like Diablo, but manages to generate its own personality. Silicon Knights, was always characterized by dedicating a lot of aesthetics in its games, and in Blood Omen they went further. The performances of the voices, the music, the art, the jubilation, for me are sensational. An RPG masterpiece. And what about the story, totally a narrative bet also very interesting, where prolepsis and analepsis play a key piece to understand and break with the watchful eye of destiny. Nothing pretentious, and done with a lot of passion. For me this saga. it marked the beginning of many things in my life. I hope and others, enjoy drinking from this fountain of blood! Vae Victis!

O kurwa Blood Omen:Legacy of Kain, awsome. This was a gret surprise today for me. Thanks for that...but still waiting for Emperor:Battle for Dune...this one would be nice too.

This is the first game of the legacy of kain saga, and soulreaver series. absolutly recommend play this game

A wonderful game. Not much more to say. The ONLY thing I see as negative is, that I wish they would include other Audio languages. The German Voice-Acting was a blast and in some regards better then the english original. Thanks GOG Team, after YEARS, you delivered.

This is THE original Legacy of Kain game before its story was mashed together with the originally unrelated 'Soul Reaver' game. It does feel very different from the later LoK games and the confusion of the LoK universe is easily explained by that. LoK:BO was developed by Silicon Knights and published by Crystal Dynamics, who later went on to develop Soul Reaver, putting together completely different games, but managing - over time - to harmonize the original Kain storyline with that of Raziel. The game is a 2D top view action set on a very complicated (after)life of a nobleman called Kain, killed by bandits and turned into a vampire. In a search for vengeance and power, he sets to change the fate of the fictional world of Nosgoth. The story is as quite convoluted and complex, as the gameplay is long. If you are hardcore fan of the later LoK games, you may find this game a bitter candy - it provides a great first hand experience of events predating the sequels but it takes effort to play and finish this game. Fights can be a chore, and it's not difficult to lose your sense of orientation unless you find a good walkthrough. Fighting is enriched by a variety of weapons and abilities Kain can use to defeat his enemies, and the constant blood thirst requires the player to hurry to find new enemies to kill and feast upon. It took me around a week to finish this game. Please note that some users may experience technical issues starting LoK:BO, and will require extra effort to run it. Therefore, do not hesitate to visit GOG forums to seek unofficial support. Hence I give this game 4/5 - a story that pulls you back in, with unexpected twists in it; great atmosphere; character progression in place as well ... and all that only soured by gameplay that can get long and tedious for some.
