Legacy of Kain: Defiance shows fantastic vampire world and brings really good gameplay.
Gameplay: In Legacy of Kain: Defiance we are playing two characters which are Raziel and Kain. We can say that Raziel is the good vampire and Kain is the bad. We will play both these characters in the game so both these characters have different story and adventure so it is very interesting and cool. Because of that the game is more valuable. Each character we play has his own abilities and weapons and of course we will be able to upgrade those abilities. As a vampire you have to drink blood - Kain. Raziel has to abduct lost souls. These things are regenerating our energy. Being a vampire has pluses and minuses. The big minus of being a vampire is this that you simply can't swim and can't get through the streaming water. You will have to avoid water at all cost because water for vampire is like acid. On the other hand we have got pluses. One of these pluses is this that you are really strong. You have great abilities such as telekinesis, long jumps, as a vampire you are very resistant for human attacks. The best story and adventure in this game has Raziel in my opinion. The locations in Legacy of Kain: Defiance are looking really cool and they bring sweet atmosphere of the vampire world. The environment looks interesting and some buildings in some locations are similar to the buildings which were in the Middle Ages. The enemy A.I. is not superb but also is not very bad. Demons, strange looking creatures, guards simply want to kill us and that's all. They just run on us and try to hit. Legacy of Kain: Defiance is a brutal game. We can see a lot of blood around when we are slashing our enemies using sword for example.
Graphics: Graphically Legacy of Kain: Defiance for Pc is not very good. The game was made in 2003 and I think developers could make it better. The environment has a lot of pixels. The lighting effects and shadows are not as sharp as they should be. But on the other hand many characters in the game are really detailed like the main characters - Raziel and Kain and some bosses.
Sound: I really like the sound in this game. It is very atmospheric and it builds the drama. Voice acting is standing in high level and weapons noises are realistic.
Overall: Legacy of Kain: Defiance is not a bad game. I don't know why a lot of people don't like it but in my opinion there are not many games with vampires nowadays so if you like that kind of stories than this is the game for you. I'm sure that if you like Legacy of Kain franchise and vampires than you should instantly buy it and that's no doubt about it.
