Random fan thing is random
When i wrote Revenant I did it as a fusion with a series of games - never at any point hiding this fact although I get comments quite regularly (despite the notes announcing this) pointing it out
but here's the thing the games are OLD now and so were hard to come across (unless you were a huge fan like me and refused to give up your ps2 just so you could replay them over and over licking the screen and practically masturbating to the dialogue)
well GOG.COM have remastered and released FOUR of the five games for modern PCs at next to nothing cost ($5.99 each)
the only one missing is the first one Blood Omen which unlike these ones which play like tomb raider plays like zelda
I know one person that has finished the first Blood Omen game (it's HARD) and I didn't even use it as a model for Revenant but here's the thing
the Legacy of Kain games are AWESOME! with a capslock firmly on
they are beautiful in a gothic way without being Goth, they are voiced by truly talented actors (a rarity) which include the chap who did Dom Frollo from Disney's Hunchback (so the guy who sang hellfire) and their scores are gorgeous
also if you play Soulreaver it is physically impossible to die in that game, not because it's easy but because you're already dead, you die in physical form you go to the spectral realm (which you can do at will), you die in spectral form you get pinged back to the very start position where you can (if you've unlocked them) teleport to where you were. It's awesome and under rated and now you have no excuse.
