    Return to the haunting world of Nosgoth in Legacy of Kain: Ascendance, a fast-paced 2D action platformer set within the dark and legendary universe of the Legacy of Kain series. Combining fluid movement, intense combat, and a dark story, the game invites players to explore a world shaped by ancient conflicts, fractured timelines, and the eternal struggle for power.

    Traverse ruined cities, forgotten temples, and cursed landscapes as you battle relentless enemies and uncover secrets buried deep within Nosgoth’s history. The game blends dynamic platforming with skill-driven combat, allowing players to chain together strikes, evasive maneuvers, and supernatural abilities while navigating dangerous environments filled with traps, puzzles, and powerful foes.

    Legacy of Kain: Ascendance allows players to experience the story through multiple iconic characters, each offering their own abilities, combat style, and perspective on the events unfolding across the realm. Wield the overwhelming vampiric power of Kain, witness Raziel's past before his tragic transformation, and embrace the ferocity of the vampire Elaleth as the fate of Nosgoth hangs in the balance.

    The experience is brought to life through detailed pixel art, animated cutscenes, and a dark atmospheric soundtrack composed by Celldweller. Returning voice talent from the original series further enriches the narrative, delivering a new interpretation of the Legacy of Kain saga while honoring the tone and depth that made the franchise iconic.

    Prepare to fight, explore, and rise through the shadows of Nosgoth in a new chapter that blends classic storytelling with modern action-platformer gameplay.

    J'attendais ce retour avec impatience, mais ce Legacy of Kain : Ascendance me laisse un goût d'inachevé. D'un côté, quel bonheur de retrouver l'ambiance unique de Nosgoth et ce doublage shakespearien. Artistiquement, c’est une réussite totale, sombre et majestueuse comme on l'aimait. Par contre, côté gameplay, on sent que la licence a encore un pied dans le passé. La caméra est une purge dès que l'espace se réduit, et les phases de plateforme sont parfois ridicule à cause d'une rigidité qu'on ne devrait plus voir aujourd'hui. Le système de switch entre les personnages est une super idée sur le papier, mais en pratique, les allers-retours dans le monde spectral finissent par casser le rythme. On sent aussi que le budget n'était pas illimité : le bestiaire tourne vite en rond et certains environnements semblent un peu vides. C’est un jeu pour les nostalgiques prêts à pardonner des mécaniques datées, mais pour les autres, la pilule sera dure à avaler
    I've been eagerly awaiting this return, but Legacy of Kain: Ascendance leaves me with a taste of unfinished business. On the one hand, it's great to rediscover the unique atmosphere of Nosgoth and the Shakespearean dubbing. Artistically, it's a total success, as dark and majestic as we've come to love it. Gameplay-wise, however, the license still has one foot in the past. The camera is a purge as soon as the space is reduced, and the platforming phases are sometimes ridiculous due to a rigidity that should no longer be seen today. The system of switching between characters is a great idea on paper, but in practice, the back-and-forth in the spectral world ends up breaking the rhythm. You can also sense that the budget wasn't unlimited: the bestiary quickly goes round in circles, and some environments feel a little empty. This is a game for nostalgic fans ready to forgive some dated mechanics, but for others, the pill will be hard to swallow.

    J'aurais aimé une suite, au goût du jour, en rapport avec cette licence. Legacy of Kain n'a jamais été une licence surpuissance mais restait un peu sympathique, auparavant. Aujourd'hui, c'est très mitigé.
    I would have liked an up-to-date sequel to this license. Legacy of Kain has never been an overpowering license, but it used to be a nice one. Today, it's a very mixed bag.

    Aquí habla un fan de la saga Legacy of Kain que tiene cero interés en este nuevo juego. No sé si será un pequeño gesto para un próximo juego de la saga pero no me ha generado ninguna expectación para jugarlo

    No me llama nada la atención. También tengo pendientes todos los juegos anteriores de la saga. Ahora, con las remasterizaciones, posiblemente me los pase en algún momento, pero este juego creo que no lo voy a jugar.
    It doesn't call my attention at all. I also have all the previous games of the saga pending. Now, with the remasters, possibly I'll pass them at some point, but this game I think I'm not going to play it.

    Apparemment le gameplay est assez basique : combat répétitif, platforming correct mais sans grande profondeur, et ce n’est pas vraiment un Metroidvania comme annoncé. C’est court et inégal, mais pour le prix, pourquoi pas j'imagine, mais uniquement si on n'en attend pas grand chose
    Apparently the gameplay is pretty basic: repetitive combat, decent platforming but no great depth, and it's not really a Metroidvania as advertised. It's short and uneven, but for the price, why not, I suppose, but only if you don't expect much.

    Desconocía que había salido un nuevo juego de la saga de Legacy of Kain y viendo las críticas creo que me aleja un poco de poder jugarlo
    I was unaware that a new game of the Legacy of Kain saga had been released and looking at the reviews I think it takes me a bit away from being able to play it.

    Creo que vale la pena pagar 15€ si eres fan de los juegos de la saga Kain o de los juegos tipo Metroidvania, pero también ten en cuenta que es solo un juego de bajo presupuesto. No hay mucha profundidad en la jugabilidad ni en la duración total, el arte está bien, pero no es gran cosa.
    I think it's worth paying 15€ if you're a fan of the Kain saga or Metroidvania type games, but also keep in mind that it's only a low budget game. There's not much depth to the gameplay or overall length, the art is okay, but it's not much.

    Globalement, les joueurs sont assez déçus par Legacy of Kain: Ascendance. Sur Steam, les avis sont majoritairement négatifs (autour de 30 % de positifs), ce qui reflète une réception difficile. Les notes PlayStation sont un peu meilleures (environ 3,7/5), mais restent mitigées. Les rares points positifs évoqués concernent surtout la nostalgie de la licence, le doublage et quelques visuels corrects. En revanche, la majorité des critiques portent sur un gameplay jugé rigide, une durée de vie courte et un manque global d’inspiration. Certains joueurs dénoncent aussi une direction artistique incohérente et un manque de respect du lore. Au final, la communauté considère le jeu comme une déception, indigne de la réputation de la saga
    Overall, gamers are fairly disappointed with Legacy of Kain: Ascendance. On Steam, reviews are predominantly negative (around 30% positive), reflecting a difficult reception. PlayStation ratings are slightly better (around 3.7/5), but remain mixed. The few positive points mentioned mainly concern the license's nostalgia, the dubbing and some decent visuals. On the other hand, the majority of criticisms concern gameplay deemed rigid, a short lifespan and an overall lack of inspiration. Some players also criticize the inconsistent art direction and lack of respect for the lore. All in all, the community considers the game a disappointment, unworthy of the saga's reputation.

    Viendo las criticas, creo que este juego ha sido hecho por gente que no comprende qué hizo grandes a los juegos anteriores de Legacy of Kain, y mucho menos entiende qué hace que un juego, como mínimo, sea divertido.
    Looking at the reviews, I think this game has been made by people who don't understand what made the previous Legacy of Kain games great, let alone understand what makes a game, at the very least, fun.
