You don't have to take my word for it, check out PC editor, Dan Tack's impression of the game here. We still don’t know when the game will officially release to the public, but it should enter open beta soon. I can’t say that it’s the best shooter hitting the market, but Psyonix is a team of only about 18 people, so the work they’ve done on the game is pretty impressive considering. Interestingly, it seemed like both sides were fairly balanced (because I won both matches), and Psyonix is working on the game while it’s in closed beta to help ensure that it stays balanced. Vampires slowly heal over time, and can also suck their foes blood replenish their health. A Reaver class vampire is good at crouching down and lunging at humans form a distance. I played a flying vampire who could soar through the air and pick up humans and then drop them to their death. The vampires on the other hand are more like lone wolves they skulk through the environment and can climb walls, making it easy to get the jump on their foes. Health stations scattered around the environment help the humans get back into the fight. Humans can move quickly through the environment, and function best when they stick together and works as a team. Meanwhile the scout has a standard longbow and is functionally like the sniper class. During a round of deathmatch, I started with the human hunter class, which is equipped with a repeating crossbow and has the secondary ability to throw grenades or use bolos. Humans are traditionally ranged fighters, while vampires are up- close-and-personal, tear-your face-off and the drink-your-blood fighters.īoth sides have different things going for them. During each match, players switch between playing as the humans and the vampires. #NOSGOTH LEGACY OF KAIN SERIES#The game doesn’t have much of a story, but it fits into the series timeline when Raziel is lost in time. My team gave the other team a thorough stomping, so I’m going to assume that the game is completely balanced, and that I’m just really good. It’s far from the Legacy of Kain game I want, but it’s still a decent free-to-play shooter nonetheless.ĭuring a demo of Nosgoth at E3, I had the chance to run the shooter through its paces. Conceived as the sixth entry in the Legacy of Kain series, Dead Sun entered production for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Xbox 360. Start with the Lore page, and then move on to the series of blog posts which explain the history of the factions in depth.Nosgoth is Square Enix’s asymmetrical multiplayer game set in the Legacy of Kain universe. Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun was an action-adventure video game developed by Climax Studios for Square Enix Europe, with an accompanying multiplayer component developed separately by Psyonix. In the meantime, you can read how it fits into the Legacy of Kain storyline on the official website. The infighting of the clans which resulted from his departure, and the persecution of the leaderless Razielim, has been put aside temporarily to deal with the serious resurgent human threat to their dominance and their lives.ĭetails from Nosgoth are gradually being incorporated into this website. The Emperor himself, Kain, is absent, having left his realm in the hands of his remaining lieutenants. Partially devolved vampires of the clans battle against skilled human fighters who are starting to encroach on the fringes of the empire. Set in the time period after Raziel's execution in Soul Reaver, but before his return to the world as a Reaver of Souls, Nosgoth allows players to play co-operatively as vampires and humans in a war for supremacy and survival. In a departure from the previous games, it features neither Kain or Raziel. It is a free-to-play, competitive online multiplayer title set in the Legacy of Kain universe. Nosgoth is a PC game, playable through Steam. Invites can be requested from the official Nosgoth website. Nosgoth is currently in Closed Beta, and participation is by invite only.
