Following the events of Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, over years the vampire Kain has assembled an army of vampires to take over the world of the humans. Fighting across Nosgoth, goal is to make his way to the great city of Meridian and take control of this stronghold.
However, upon reaching the gates of the city, the army is challenged by the Serafan Order, an organized force of vampire hunters and its leader, the magical Serafan lord. Kain engages the Serafan lord in single combat, is struck down and defeated. Unconscious for years, Kain awakes under the care of the vampire Umah to a world he barely recognizes.
Having lost his army, the vampires have been hunted down by the Serafan and only a few remain. Strange glyph magic is used to power machines and fuel industry and at the same time is deadly to vampires and used as wards throughout the city. Kain swears vengeance on the opponent who defeated him and seeks to reclaim his place as ruler of the vampires.
Following are the main features of Blood Omen 2 Legacy of Kain that you will be able to experience after the first install on your Operating System. You can also block attacks yourself every time you successfully do this Kain's rage meter increases slightly.
When it reaches maximum you can perform special attacks, which do more damage than usual. You can also pick up enemies by the throat and throw them or and this really does look painful pin them up against a wall with one hand and then with the other swing your current weapon up between their legs.
Our undead hero can also kill other vampires to relearn his forgotten 'Dark Gifts'. These powers allow Kain to do various vampire things such as jump great distances; charm enemies so they do what you want and enable you to turn into mist. Turning into mist is actually a lot better than it sounds. For a start it gives you the ability to sneak up on an unsuspecting foe and then decapitate, garrotte, disembowel or casually push a sword through the back of their neck.
Of course, regardless of the killing method employed the one thing that remains the same is drinking the blood afterwards. Kain has to drink blood to survive, so basically he has to keep killing. As far as gameplay goes you really can't get any simpler. Kill or die of thirst - not much of a choice really.
As the game progresses it becomes apparent that variety is kept to a minimum. Even on some of the later stages where the action should be getting climatic and frenetic exactly the same tactics are required: kill, drink blood, use dark gift, solve simple puzzle, pull lever, go through door. You literally just switch on your autopilot and allow yourself to be swept along by the cut-scene driven storyline.
Blood Omen 2 is certainly not for the feint-hearted - you also need a fairly brave computer to run it. The massive 2Gb install takes a while on a slow CD-ROM you're looking at anything up to an hour and the fantastic graphics demand a hefty processor too.
