The Story Behind Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver (NTSCHack v1.0 Mathieulh)
Despite the split, Hennig explained that the team left unused components - such as extra power-ups and enemies - in Soul Reavers game engine to avoid unforeseen glitches that might have arisen from their removal. The lack of load times was a key marketing point praised by several reviewers. In an interview, series director Amy Hennig stated that the development team split the original, much larger plans in two after realizing that they had "over-designed the game", given the constraints on time and data.
It was also featured on the cover of several general video game magazines as well as PlayStation specific ones. Soul Reaver was released for the PC and Sony PlayStation in 1999 and for the Dreamcast version in 2000. In 2000, Soul Reaver was added to Sony's "Greatest Hits" list, and the combined, global sales of its PlayStation, Dreamcast and computer versions surpassed 1.4 million units by late 2001.
How Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver (NTSCHack v1.0 Mathieulh) Plays
Baptism in holy flame can transform the Soul Reaver into the Fire Reaver, which can set enemies aflame and adds fire to Raziel's telekinetic bolts. Gameplay relies largely on shifting between the material and spectral planes of existence to progress through areas. Initially unarmed, he fights using his claws, but can alternatively use weapons such as rocks, torches, spears and staffs, and the Soul Reaver.
Many puzzles are based on the differences between the two realms; for example, platforms and environment features in one realm may change form to open new paths in the other. Each brood of vampire enemies has unique powers reminiscent of their clan leader. Raziel can freely shift to the spectral realm, but can return to the material realm only through special portals when at full health.
Why Players Still Load It Up
AllGames reviewer called the cut scenes "seamless", and their frequency neither too high nor too low. The publication praised the Lucifer-based story for engaging players, but was disappointed that "it peters out in an unsatisfying climax". Next Generation Magazine echoed this, stating that, "even if you own the PlayStation version, you may want to rent this anyway", but expressed disappointment that no new features were added to the Dreamcast port.
IGNs reviewer called it "such an ambitious game – and one that achieves nearly everything it sets out to do – that few games come close to it", and praised the soundtrack for blending with the atmosphere unobtrusively. The Dreamcast port was cited as "perhaps one of the best looking console games ever made". Finding minimal difficulty in using camera controls, GameSpot likened them to those of Banjo-Kazooie and stated that players would want to adjust the camera deliberately to watch Raziel's movements.
