This page contains a rough gameplay feature list that Blood Omnicide have added or altered in comparison with it's icon - Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. All features are added using "extend, not break" paradigm. And all changes are targeted to make better gameplay with new 3D environments. Features that are optional is marked italic. Not all features can be optional however. We are making game, not some kind of constructor. | This page contains a rough gameplay feature list that Blood Omnicide have added or altered in comparison with it's icon - Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.
