Jealous of Raziel's newly evolved wings, Kain tears them apart and casts his former champion into the netherworld. But something--some kind of powerful entity that dwells in the netherworld--has restored Raziel to a semblance of life and has set him on a path of vengeance. After this tantalizing movie introduction, you take control of Raziel in the spectral realm, where your new existence is explained to you. From there you enter the physical plane, ready to begin your quest for power and revenge.
Raziel's combat moves are extremely brutal, as you'd expect from a vampire who has returned from the dead. When he finds a spear, Raziel gleefully stabs and slashes before he impales his foe, lifts it off the ground, and feasts on its soul. Doing so enhances Raziel's power, and devouring the souls of the rest of Kain's lieutenants is the only way to get the special abilities--scaling walls, phasing through gates, etc.
Although unconfirmed, it appears that GOG intends to create their own updated version of the game while Square Enix will release a separate update on Steam. As Raziel, stalk the shadows of Nosgoth preying upon your former vampire brethren in your quest to destroy your creator- Kain. After being betrayed and executed by Kain, return to Nosgoth on an epic mission of revenge.
A milestone in 3D adventure. Skip to content Search. Do not think that Soul Reaver is just an action, hack and slash game. It also has some really good puzzles in it. They are not as hard as Myst but I found that they could be quite challenging.
If you find that you can't do anything in a level just go into the Spectral world and sometimes the world changes enough for you to figure out what the objective is. I wish I had a quarter for every time my wife told me to go to the Spectral world and that solved the problem I was having.
Anybody who has played the Tomb Raider series can tell you that the graphics from Eidos are always cutting edge. I was simply blown away by how the game looked.
The graphics were so good that my wife actually came over to the computer and watched me play. The game has to be really good if she wants to watch. The different regions in Nosgoth were unlike any other region. Personally I liked the snow area towards the end of the game. When I walked through the canyon and came out into an open area with a fortress on the left, both my wife and I sat there and said 'WOW!
It was definitely an impressive sight to see this building with the snow falling around us. I had to stop and look around the place for a little while and just soak it all in. Not many games make me pause and look at the scenery, but this one made me slow down and scope things out. The cut scenes in the game were done very well. They kept the storyline going and gave me a little break from mashing my thumb on my gamepad.
The only problem I saw with them was that the mouths on the people did not move. I know you have heard that from me in the past with other games but I do find it annoying when the people seem to talk through telepathy. This has got to be the creepiest game I have ever played in my life! The sounds were the best I have heard in a long time. The music fit the mood and made the game feel like I was watching a movie unfold in front of me.
It would get intense when I was in battle and then taper off when I was running around trying to solve a puzzle. When I killed a vampire the sound of the blade going the through undead flesh sent a shiver down my spine. I almost felt sorry for sticking the poor guys. The documentation for the game was top of the line. Not only will it gives you tips as to the installation of the program but it also gives an in-depth overview of the game.
After finishing the game, I was thumbing through the manual and I realized that I didn't need the pad of sticky notes that I have been doodling on. It was all in the book. As I read the manual, I thought that Eidos might have given away too much information on how to play the game. There is a training session when you first start the game and it lets you know what buttons do certain things. When you get further into the game you gain special powers and it was kind of fun not knowing what these special powers do until you use them.
If I had read the manual first I would have known right away what to do with them and I think I would have solved the game sooner. But that would have taken away from the fun factor of the game. My suggestion to any future player is to only read the manual if you have to. Normally, I don't worry much about violence in games but I did screen this game before letting my son watch me play.
There isn't any bad language but some of the scenes are a little graphic for the younger folks. Don't get me wrong, there aren't any heads being hacked off or anything like that but the game is quite violent. Look out Lara Croft, Raziel has taken over the neighborhood. From the first moment I loaded the game I knew I was going to love it.
The graphics were spectacular and the gameplay was flawless. I only found a couple of problems in the game: first, the save game feature was a little annoying but after playing with it for awhile I realized that it was actually nice to have teleporters for traveling around the land. Second, there isn't any multiplayer support, but then again Tomb Raider never had any either and look how well that did in the stores.
Lastly, the ending! How can you end a game that is this good? Personally I would have made enough levels so that the consumer could play for at least 24 months. So what if the game would have to fit on 47 CDs, I would build a new room on my house to accommodate them. I mean c'mon now, I have to sit around and wait for the sequel? If the original Legacy of Kain creeped you out, you'll freak over Crystal D's latest soul-stealing epic. At the end of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, you're given the choice to either sacrifice yourself and bring peace to Nosgoth or become its evil dictator you probably didn't choose to sacrifice yourself--especially after playing the game for over 40 hours.
Soul Reaver picks up a millennium after Kain's dark decision to rule the world, wherein Kain recruited six souls from the underworld to help build his legion of vampires and wipe out the human race. He then commanded his slaves to construct giant furnaces that would generate enough smoke to cover the sky, thus blocking the sun, which drains their vampire powers.
Without worry from the sun, Kain and his legion fed on the souls of the helpless and ruled the bloody land. In Soul Reaver, you'll play as Raziel, one of Kain's vampire followers who is damned to the underworld by Kain for becoming too powerful. While you're in the underworld, its ruler, the Elder, explains his disgust with Kain: Since Kain is turning everyone into vampires, there are no new souls for the Elder to devour.
Now it's up to you to return to Nosgoth, conquer Kain, and provide the underworld with fresh souls. Before he banished you to the underworld, Kain ripped off the wings you were growing. Although you can't fly in Soul Reaver, you can use what's left of your wings to glide from platform to platform.
And instead of sucking the blood of your victims to stay alive as you did in Blood Omen , you now must suck the souls of enemies to survive. Soul Reaver even includes mad vampire beat-downs; you can use grappling holds, hand-to-hand combat, and weapons you find in the environment to smack the bloodsuckers silly.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver is still very early in development, but from the initial screens, it could be the scariest and coolest game this Halloween. But since Kain's first quest was successful, he's been corrupted by his power, and has stolen all the souls from Nosgoth, leaving none for the Elder. As Raziel, a lesser vampire banished from Kain's legions, it's your job to overthrow Kain's bloody-fisted rule, thus supplying fresh souls for your new master, the Elder. You'll battle 12 bosses and 20 different enemies in your quest to depose Kain, sucking souls for your own sustenance along the way.
It's a grim game, full of gothic imagery and detailed 3D graphics; even in these early screens, it's clear the game's dark atmosphere is shaping up nicely. Vampire fans, get ready--Soul Reaver could be the ultimate thriller this October. Browse games Game Portals. Legacy Of Kain Soul Reaver. Install Game.
