Legacy of Kain Collection
SCORE: 58
Legacy of Kain Collection is another Giga cartridge on the Evercade
family of systems. Legacy of Kain Collection contains two games within
it. The two games on the Legacy of Kain Collection cartridge are Blood
Omen Legacy of Kain, and Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver. I live streamed
these games on our Twitch channel. The videos for each game are being
included on our video channels as time and financial resources allow. I
remember these original Playstation video games from back in the day and
honestly it was not positive.
The issues families will have with Legacy of Kain Collection are blood,
gore, lack of attire, enticement to lust, false gods, bad language, and
more. Players wind up playing some form of a vampire in Legacy of Kain
Collection. The way to keep your health is to suck the blood from other
characters in the first game. In the second game players are sucking the
souls out of what they are fighting. There is some political intrigue in
terms of the story telling in Legacy of Kain Collection.
The visuals are dark in both games, especially the cut scenes. I
personally preferred the look of the first game. It is an angled
overhead view where we see our character. The second game on Legacy of
Kain Collection is a 3D platformer with some interesting skills for the
players to use. I did run into some frustration with the controls in
Legacy of Kain Collection. I hated swapping between realms in the same
area in the second game.
The environment and music works to be creepy and annoying. I can see
Legacy of Kain Collection fitting quite nicely under the horror theme. I
am not sure what brought this franchise back. Evercade is not the only
one to get a Legacy of Kain Collection collection. Other systems are as
well. As far as I know Legacy of Kain Collection is the only physical
copy version so that is nice. The others also may have been remastered
where Legacy of Kain Collection emulates the original Playstation video
games.
Legacy of Kain Collection is not my kind of thing. I can be open and
honest about that. I am not into playing evil characters. This is one of
those early games that started gamers on the path of darkness.
