Our take on Blood Omen 2: Legacy of Kain
Kain’s defining combat choice is between heavy metal weapons and Dark Gifts such as berserk and stealth, with both approaches serving his pursuit of vengeance.
What is Blood Omen 2: Legacy of Kain?
Blood Omen 2 follows Kain, a vampire who awakens centuries after a mysterious warlord cast him down from power.
His armies are dead and his vampire brethren are nearly extinct. Seeking vengeance, Kain pursues an agenda tied to the land he wants to conquer and works to uncover the plot threatening it. Combat uses battle-axes, swords, and other heavy weapons for attacks and brutal combos. When weapon edges dull against bone and steel, Kain can use Dark Gifts such as berserk and stealth. The journey moves through highly detailed gothic environments populated by thieves, knights, and demons.
