One of the first games I ever played and fell in love. I was pleasantly surprised -while the gameplay is not complicated-basically a maze game-the storyline was intricate and the voice actors truly superb. Play them all, they only get better. Simon Templeman is the voice of Kain-my hero. Sparkly vampires need not apply.
@craigbout the person needs to be either stunned, as in wobbling after you hit them, or sleeping. you can suck blood from awake people or dead people.
Ugh.. the camera panning.. I get a migraine and vertigo by just watching it. Who ever thought that was a good idea? =( Ruins the enjoyment a bit of a great game.
Ahh memories... What a dark fuggin' game! All I remember is that at one point you have someone's head in your inventory and Kain does a spoof of Hamlet when you examine it.
You know the only thing that stops me from completely diving into this series is knowing that it will never get an ending.. and damn it this is one game that does not deserve to be left incomplete!
I'd say games today have progressed immensely in terms of graphics and gameplay, but I'd say they've also made an equal amount of regression in plot and character development - when I was younger, I loved games because of the novelty they had, alongside the gameplay and originality. Legacy of Kain is a cult classic that proves, even to this day, that it became legendary because its plot and character design were vast compared to that of today's games, even if it's graphics weren't opulent.
I remember being so enthralled with the evil, dark nature of this game - for the time, some of it was downright disturbing, lol. The music, ambiance and voicework were off the hook, and the immersion factor was sky high.
I have to say, I often wonder why modern games are struggling to reach the immersion factor of so many of these CD-ROM era games. One of the only characters I've been able to invest myself in in recent years is God Of Wars Kratos - but mostly modern games seem lacking...
I'm playing this through for the first time and I'm very impressed. I wish all games paid this much attention to detail and had talented voice actors. the only way this game could be improved would be better graphics (obviously) and some kind of lock-on targeting system like in the GTA series. it looks goofy when I'm standing next to my enemy and we're both trying to hit each other, unsuccessfully.
@SoulRippster you lose life over time, and from taking damage, however, you can suck blood to regain health. and believe it or not, this game is really hard
It's just such a shame that they don't make more games of the series, considering now they have the graphics of PS3 to play with. It would look so much better in PS3 graphic standards
I know all that. I just wish there was more from the series that just 5 games. It was such an awesome game. I would say about Eidos creating a new version altogether without the original characters, but then it wouldn't be the same. I remember when I heard about Tony, a friend & I cried my heart out. That was the end of LoK to me, not the end of Defiance :(
so if mortanius was under the influence of the saraphan lord couldnt the saraphan lord predict we was going to loose and there would be a old kain so therfore blood omen 2 was pointeless cuase the hylden lord new he was going to die an fail?
Soul Reaver was produced first. However, in the Nosgoth time line, it's very far into the future. Blood Omen 2 happened during the time of the Sarafan's rule.
Little did Kain know that it was just beginning, and that it would be nearly two thousand years before he would reach the end of the events of LOK: Defiance.
True. Though if I recall it right the rising of Raziel from the depths was something like 10k years after the present here. So for Kain it would've been even longer =)
And they were planning another game after Defiance, pity it got sacked. :/
i am a huge fan of the Legacy Of Kain series abd i love all the games (not so much the "soul revears", though.).
can anyone tell me where to find copies of all the games? please! i had to look EVERYWHERE just to find a BLOOD OMEN 2 that didnt even work right. please tell me how to find these games again, before the disappear completely!!
10/10 forever, im dreading old age and trying to convince my children of the fun we had playing these games and how they make nxt gen games with thier achievments and such look shite.
I must say that this is the best game I´ve ever played, nothing accept maybe zelda series comes close. Does anyone know of any similair games to this?
of all the legacy of kain games, this is still my favorite. TBH I prefer these graphics to the more recent games. And the amount of hidden things such as the blood fonts, spirit forges and general 'secrets' to find keeps you busy for weeks trying to locate them all. Well worth a go!
No problem. This game is difficult to find, so not all Legacy of Kain fans are able to experience it. That's exactly why I wanted to upload these playthroughs.
thx for the playthrough tiff i had the game on the playstation back when that was the big thing then as things got bigger and more adavanced i traded in my PS and got a PS2 and from there Xbox 360 yadayadayada and i was lookin through some stuff and i found LoK and was like i loved this game then whent to look for it on pc couldnt find it lol
@Tiff0202 I got the biggest break in history. I found this game at Second time around. it was the only one I was missing in the entire series. I now have all the games in the Legacy of Kain series. It is awesome!
It's great game. Good game style, story, characters, armor, weapon, magic and so on. Even now i love this game).
