The land of Nosgoth is inhabited by humans and vampires hiding from persecution. When Cain of the upper classes is murdered, the necromancer Mortanius offers him vengeance and brings him back to life as a vampire. The man exacts his revenge and then embarks on a long journey to rid himself of the curse of vampirism. In order to accomplish his mission, he has to face the magicians of the Circle of Nine and also restore the power of The Pillars of Nosgoth.
Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen is an action adventure game in which the camera presents events from a top-down view. Players guide Kain as he explores the land and defeats dozens of enemies. During the arcade fights the vampire can use weapons and magic collected during the adventure. The hero has at his disposal both offensive spells and those making it easier to travel around the world and deal with the encountered challenges. The vampire can, among other things, change his form and, for example, travel faster as a bat or, as a cloud, overcome gates or water reservoirs.
Blood plays an important role in the game - Cain must drink it to renew his health points. This in turn requires him to search for living creatures in the area and plan his actions.

Game of Silicon Knights studio is non-linear and allows free journey around the world. The gameplay is also shaped by the daytime system. At night the hero is stronger and can face more opponents.

The Legacy of Kain series is one of the best tales in gaming history. It caused a revolution, shook up the industry at the time of the first PlayStation, and today it lies fallow, unfinished, forgotten. And barely playable. That's not how it should be.

Developers love hiding secrets in their games, giving their most loyal fans riddles that can sometimes seem unsolvable. Some of these mysteries took many veritable decades to be discovered.
Fans of Cain and Raziel have reason to rejoice, as we will most likely get a remaster of Soul Reaver. On this occasion, it is worth firing up the first Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. It's still a great game that has aged the best of the series.
