Although TPP action adventure games have led the way among Legacy of Kain productions over the years, there has been no shortage of side projects representing different genres. In this group one can find Legacy of Kain: Ascendance, an action platform game with adventure elements, developed by Bit Bot Media studio founded in 2024 and Crystal Dynamics company.
In Legacy of Kain: Ascendance, we view events from the side. The discussed item takes us to the fantastic land of Nosgoth and puts three characters at our disposal. We are talking about the vampire Cain, his betrayed deputy Raziel (whom we get to know as a knight of the Sarafan Order and watch his transformation into a vampire) and the vampire Elaleth (who brings out fast, constant attacks). Each of them has unique abilities, which translate mainly into the fighting style.
Atthe heart of the gameplay are dynamic duels with opponents, during which reflexes and the ability to combine attacks into combinations count. In addition, while exploring haunted ruins and wild backwoods, we jump on platforms, avoid traps and terrain obstacles, and solve environmental puzzles.
The game's two-dimensional graphics of Legacy of Kain: Ascendance were made using pixel art, with the return of the voice actors associated with the series, namely Michael Bell, Simon Templeman, Richard Doyle and Anna Gunn. The gameplay takes place to the accompaniment of a soundtrack signed by the Celldweller band.
