It takes a lot of inspiration from The Legend of Zelda, but it has its own identity as well. Taking a top-down perspective, Blood Omen involves hack ‘n slash combat, puzzles, and exploration. In 1996, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain was released for the world to see. Making a Legend of Zelda-style action adventure game with vampires, the team would settle on releasing on the original PlayStation for their project. Taking the project to various publishers, Crystal Dynamics recognized the ambition of the team and picked up the concept. Working with art director and writer Ken McCulloch, the two formed the basis for what would eventually become the Legacy of Kain series. Starting in 1993, Silicon Knights founder Denis Dyack started a project known as The Pillars of Nosgoth. The Legacy of Kain series has a storied history, involving a lot of key figures of the industry and multiple companies. We think it’s about time we gave it the Bring it Back treatment. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a new Legacy of Kain, practically 20 years. Of course, we’re talking about the Legacy of Kain series. What started as a Crystal Dynamics franchise soon went to Eidos Interactive, and now Square Enix in its current state. This week, we’re back on track with a classic action adventure franchise that Square Enix currently owns the rights to. Welcome back to another Bring it Back retrospective, as we do every Sunday! Last week was a bit of a last minute change in schedule with a focus on Mother 3 for Mother’s Day.
