Legacy of Kain: Defiance brings the long-running gothic saga to a dramatic head by letting you play as both of its iconic anti-heroes. Chapters alternate between Kain, the ambitious vampire emperor, and Raziel, his betrayed lieutenant turned soul-devouring wraith, as their separate quests through the ruined land of Nosgoth draw them toward a fateful confrontation. Each character wields a version of the legendary Soul Reaver blade, which can be imbued with elemental powers to solve puzzles and devastate enemies, while telekinetic abilities let you fling foes off ledges and into hazards. Raziel can also shift between the material and spectral realms to reshape his surroundings. Combining fluid combo-based combat, atmospheric exploration and a richly voiced, theatrical script, it is a fitting finale for longtime fans of the series.
