The worst thing to happen to Legacy of Kain since Square Enix

If you've ever had the misfortune of reading the awful comic 'Soul Reaver: The Dead Shall Rise', then there's literally no reason to play Ascendance. It's a direct adaptation (in most cases a page-by-page recreation) of the poorly written comic with nothing new to offer.

And if you’re hoping the gameplay might redeem it, prepare to be disappointed. What you get is one of the most basic and lifeless platformers imaginable: combat is severely limited, level design is virtually nonexistent, and the boss fights are so poorly executed they border on parody. It's also very short.

It's such a shame that an IP as revered as LoK is reduced to this level of fan fiction. Just don't even bother.

This game gave me the bitter taste of that terrible illusion: hope.

What in the hell made you think long time fans waiting for twenty years wanted a game about your OC Elaleth.

I can't even enjoy a segments about Kain or Raziel with out you shoehorning her in!

The only reason I wouldn't request a refund is because you dragged the original voice actors into this.

Update: Upon completing the game I feel like Bitbot should make a public apology.

凯恩的遗产终于有新作了
先不说剧情（快三十年的游戏系列突然冒出一个女角色 前主角的翅膀是她给的 然后她吊打之前的主角 背后操纵前主角的也是她（众筹漫画剧情））
第一章玩起来就有几个难受的点
照明的火堆和火炬都会伤到角色 玩起来束手束脚 敌人一往火里跑就烦
敌人也是乱跑有时候打着打着就跳崖了
视野是固定的 想找收集品或者看路都不方便
等打完再看看吧

Finally, there's a new entry in Legacy of Kain.
Putting the story aside for now (after nearly thirty years, this long-running game franchise suddenly introduces a new female character. She’s the one who gave the original protagonist his wings, easily overwhelms him in battle, and has been the hidden mastermind pulling his strings all along — this lore comes from the crowdfunded comic).
Chapter one already has several annoying flaws:
Even the lighting campfires and torches damage your character, making gameplay feel restrictive. It’s frustrating whenever enemies run into the flames.
Enemies also wander aimlessly, sometimes jumping off cliffs mid-fight.
The fixed camera angle makes it really inconvenient when hunting for collectibles or checking your path.
I’ll reserve judgment until I finish the whole game.
