Lore Hound writes: "Are you a gamer that’s old enough, or interested enough in the past, to remember Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, a action-adventure title that kicked off back in 1996? In the original title, players took the role of Kain, a vampire set upon avenging his death that begins to accept and feel empowered by his new found abilities. Set in a dark fantasy setting and employing top quality writing and voice acting for the fledgling PlayStation, the title launched a critically acclaimed franchise that spanned multiple platforms and generations.
These generations aren’t simply gaming generations. There are hundreds of years in the world that was left without a hero. It’s in these times that Nosgoth, an upcoming F2P multiplayer action game from Pssyonix, is firmly nestled. Sans hero, the world of Nosgoth is torn between the armies of vampires and the ranks of humans. The humans players take hold of don’t cower in fear, they fight back with their own impressive arsenal in this multiplayer-only title."
For GotGame's Bring it Back retrospective feature this week, the spotlight shines on the Legacy of Kain franchise.
I’d love a current take on either Legacy or Kain Soul Reaver. Personally I have more memories spending time getting through all the pain in the ass puzzles of Soul Reaver, but really enjoyed the game and art style
The games did not break too many grounds with the gameplay and less so with the later installments, but the story was so good it qualifies as a high quality novel. To me it make up for everything else.
Id want a remake or just a new game in the series. Went back and played this a few years ago , to me at least it didnt really age well
I've been wanting this for years, but you need to make sure Amy Hennig is part of the series, because she was a huge part of the series in the past.
Legacy of Kain is badass. Ahead of its time, then they went in a completely off beat direction, go back to what made the first one so great. Blood Omen Kains legacy is the best one, went down hill after reaver.
The Legacy of Kain series always did unusual things - but going online only and free-to-play was perhaps the strangest decision yet.
This series had the most amazing lore. It felt ahead of its time, they need to reboot Soul Reaver or something.
It’s officially been one year since the game was taken offline. Today Clare is going to be reflecting on everything that’s happened so far.
This game should have been brought to consoles. I played it on Pc for a while but then it just got harder to get into matches at night so I quit.
