The original and best.
User Rating: 9.1 | Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain PC
Blood Omen Legacy of Kain (the original) was the beginning chapter to the Blood Omen series, it was an incredible single player role-playing game essentially. The graphics were ok for its time, the sound is very good, its always been a srong point of blood omen games that there’s strong voice acting. The music is brilliant its still some of the best in game music you will hear, it fits the dark world perfectly. The game play was great, the story was overly complicated at this stage either but still contained mysteries for later games to explain. The story was that the pillars of nosgoth (that being the worlds name) had 9 guardians assigned to them to keep the world from becoming a living hell, at this stage you don’t know who made these pillars or really care, suffice to say the guardians become corrupted and as a result so do the pillars and the world starts to decay although you cant experience this in full until youve played the other games in the series such as Soul Reaver. Your character Kain is a noble man trying to find a inn to rest in but is sent out only to be cut down by many assasins and then your given the choice to seek revenge but become a servant to Mortanius who it ends up being quite evil! Enough of the story for now, it takes you all over Nosgoth, back and through time with fantastic game play which is really fun and memorable, its extremely bloody but you’re a vampire what do you expect. You can morph into various forms, take over people and get some pretty damn fine swords as you fulfil your quest for vengeance! I say it’s the best still because I proffered the RPG style of game to the more modern ‘tomb raider’ esque style of playing, it’s a deeper gaming style for me and the story is becoming increasingly difficult to decipher!
