As in the case of the text about Lollipop Chainsaw, This blog is written as an accompanying material to immersion in a series Onee Chanbara, since franchises play about one genre field.
By the way, the Rhine in the second part gave a luxurious evening outfit. And it can be left on it forever-for this you need to go a game or drive a cheat codes.
Singling Point Bloodrayne A simple mixture has always been, quite typical for the zero blooming subcultures: the design of design in the Gothic with a light body -core, and, importantly, the beauty of the televisions and the face of the subtitle half -wax. A sort of female pseudo -producing Marvel’s Blade, only with a white face, sexual forms and bitchy, with an eye on the character of the character, character. So, a pleased listener of the popular EvanesCens or why heavier, relaxing and passing by magazines with an idol, he certainly enjoyed somewhere to the gaming store, where on the rack, on the boxes with the game, there was a fire-haired beast in all its Gothic splendor against the backdrop of suitable surroundings. Well, how not to buy?
Bloodrayne 2
Dampie 89-year-old exposure
Keigan own person. Father Rhine. The Rhine herself in this case is a half-vampire, or Dampier (Balkan folklore)-a child of the Union of a mortal woman and a male vampire.
It was worth the fascist-vampire system to collapse, our cute blood-sucking redhead, chained in the skin and latex, went to eradicate her entire combined relatives. After all, her father, a full-blooded vampire Keigan, managed to entrust many descendants during his very long life, drinking, by force, and even killing women all over the planet. 60 years of searching and surgically high -quality penetration by cold weapons significantly worsed her father’s family, and simultaneously pushed the Rhine with a number of useful acquaintances. So, for example, Rhine had a half -sister, which is called ephemera, she is also the favorite of the late Keigan, who loves to hide in the shadows. She planned to turn her involuntarily-loving guy named Severin in a half-vampire. And before he had time to show his enchanted “f”, as the Rhine was saved and cleared by the mind from the vampire spell. Now he works for the Brimstone society, busy with the eradication of bloodsuckers, as a partner \ Sayking our dampirshi. Everything produces manipulations from under the floor, so in battle and outside the plot videos it never occurs.
The plot of the sequel Bloodrayne It begins with the fact that the duet from the Rhine and her faithful partner goes to the mansion of Dariel Gerensky for the dinner, in order to investigate some suspicious activity. It turns out that this is her consolidated brother, and he not only took an important position in society, killing people from the elite, but also helped to implement the global plan of the Keigan cult to wrinkle Homo sapiens into the great nutritious soup (jokes pro Warhammer 40000 and Ultramarinov in the comments are in every possible way welcomed).
The word about gestalts
Typical fight in the gateway
Why did I generally take up the game, which this year will hit twenty years old? The answer is simple: I close Gestalt, going along a series that is similar to the genre and bloody spirit Onee Chanbara, in which there are also charming girls who love to swim in the blood. In a global sense, my walks in vampire torment began back in 2003, with the release of the first Bloodrayne , But somehow, in the end, I had to abandon the game onto a dusty mezzanine due to the overall uniformity and unwillingness of level designers to build the interior understandable for an awesome guest. Topographic cretinism is not a joke for you!
Over the past 19 years, thanks to his hobby, the consoles, your humble managed to feel all three main, already retro versions of the game: on PC, on Xbox Original And on PS2. And, to his great surprise, he found that the most playable original versions are those that came out for PS2 And PC. Xbox Original-The assembly suffers from strange drawdowns of performance and very uneven feeding. PS2-The build just works in 30 frames with subsidence. Fortunately, they decided to fix the case with re -release of both original releases in a modified form and for modern platforms – PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4 | 5 And Xbox One \ Series X | S. All of them work perfectly and without complaints – I can judge by the builds I have for PC, Xbox Series X And Nintendo Switch. The game eventually mastered at Steam Deck.
Thank you Gaibu For victory, so to speak.
Monday child
And the port, I must say, came out excellent. So excellent that it has preserved the entire pins of the combat system, the entire Copypaste-score of the Levele design and the entire beautiful scolding of conflicts, as well as the characteristic physics of the early versions of the “rag dolls”, which is in the nation of the “rag dollal”. Sometimes I had to play all the bruises of the will into a fist, emerging from under the hooves of the violent herd of the bugs of conflicts, and spitting the scraps stuck in the teeth of unevenly stitched acrobatics.
And you are really a doctor?
And also, so that the well done, the dealership of aristocratically pale bloodsuckers did not bother, the game designers generously poured all levels for zero know-how, carefully brought from the programmatic angle of the programmatic angle. “Physically true basketball by vampires and their servants using the AKA Garpun chain hook” – to envy Scorpio from Mortal Kombat . Reception allows both filigree to plant mallets on a sharp object, and freely throw them on all four sides. Unless the logic of the world begins to crack at the seams, when for advancement in the plot you have to plant vampires on a scarecrow-sophisticated horn, so that a standing fireplace explodes and allowed to crawl where necessary, or to a waste transplanting truck, so that it is right-exploded and opened the way to the right building.

Answer: Autopilot! IK.
And such wonderful, “logically correct” destructive solutions https://parimatchcasino.uk/games/ in the game at least a few pieces. Thus, the pistons in the water tower, unknown energy rods, brazes and other technogenic tinsel, blocking the path to the target break. Bosses stand apart in this regard: for example, one of them is a tightly armored frequent frequent carrion, in whose soft stomach you need to throw … Kamikadze servants. And at first it is even funny to scatter the adversaries, but after several levels, when you see characterized by the scenery or the next boss who are characterized by the destruction of the decoration with vulnerable points, the eye begins to twitterly twitch.
The fight of several Mokudzin
One of the annoying bosses. Many of them work on the principle of a simple puzzle – go solve how to kill him
But, sometimes, of course, it is possible to move spectacular
But in the battles you can use the combo, alternating the basic blow with blades with a kick, and the same applies to a more -circle. The fact is that the enemies in the game do not hesitate to constantly relieve health, but the Rhine does not hesitate to constantly replenish health at their expense: affectionately jumps, erotyly hugs with long legs, aims the teeth into the artery and begins, quite rushing and smoking, me. Sometimes even in a fit of emotions, succumbing to the victim with a stomach or hips. In this state, even the damage passes reduced if someone jumped behind and decided to blow it during dinner. As soon as a living vessel is devastated, the dampirts make a skilled pirouette and cuts off adversaries into one movement. A couple of dozens of different animations were even prepared for this matter. And moreover, these animations can be trigger using special combinations of blows composed of basic buttons, so you can drink with style – everything wasqueathed by a handsome Dante, son of Sparda. But without counting style points, so no "SSS" to you.
Rhine observes manners for, folding cutlery after a meal
Elements of eroticism in the game is also. Eh, where the era went? Return.
Here are only with the fascination of this matter … let’s say, there are nales: the enemies still have to be shook with attacks from the very first minutes. Combo will not help: there are not enough of them to somehow cheerfully alternate them. The weakest vampire minions can simply drop to the floor (from the leg or chain) and quickly finish. Unarmed – to drink slightly and immediately pierce, without even replenishing health. The fact that with a stick is in your hands must first be prescribed from the knee in the scoreboard, or pull it with a harpoon (if you succumb), otherwise when trying to bite the neck, wearable shafts are flaunted along the ridge. More serious opponents require almost constant use of special receptions, and without them at all: the scale cannot be saved, otherwise they are quickly deduced. Fortunately, it is replenished simply: you need to beat and drink, good, every trifle during the bossFites runs out in excess. It is only annoying that the whole battle ultimately resembles a fixed-by-plane with crooked hitboxes, permanent management of the health of health+“mana” through appropriate techniques with constant evasion and an attempt to throw the next muzzle to the desired level of the level of harpoon. It sounds like a fun, but with a local autonuting system that sees everything from the common “heap” anything, but only the unnecessary goal is torture – this is torture.
Chicken stories
And here is a secret location with an increase in the health supply
Successful outfit: no constraint of movements
The Rhine receives special receptions gradually, defeating the aforementioned semi -bosses and bosses. These techniques are two types-supernatural skills and new combo attacks. “Vampire-Coldo” skills are very useful: some enhance damage and allow you not to fall in the ground when you receive a serious wound, others allow you to enter the “Rapid”, slowing around the time, and the third give them to see what to see others (including secret dachas). But some kind of sadist designed new combo-studies. Who is in their right mind in a meat slasher, where the pause between the actions of death is similar, comes up with a combo on “full revolution of the left stick + ABXY buttons”? If you do it, a red -haired torn tear will immediately turn into an electric bureau and start, like a plucked chicken, spin around its axis, putting the blades to the sides, like rudimentary wings. By the way, the same funny, but already half-healing pose, she takes the same in Kurin when he practices acrobatic pirouettes while sitting on a pole.
Rhine in a vampire tower instead of a minute arrow. Does his job with a twinkle, so to speak. A spark flies between her and the walls. Okay, okay, the joke is not funny, I know
Bloodrayne 2 can occasionally be cinematic. Especially at first
In this case, the most efficient way to ask the Rhine to put the blades to the sides by the "Attack" button
By the way, about the levels. In one third of cases, they are quite beautiful: all sorts of eatery, bars, individual types of laboratories, mansion. Here are just the other two -thirds – these are gray crooked streets, industrial zones, all sorts of containers, tunnels. All this sticks together in a monotonous porridge, in which it is difficult to even navigate. The levels are all linear – thank you very much for this, because it would be easier to wander with a non -linear structure in them, the same type.
To the sounds of The Prodigy
Partially the general situation is saved by music and the overall level of the gloomy vampire fan service. If the first almost all consists of aggressive techno, inspired The Prodigy Yes, hoarse hard rock, rhythm in a tough punkuho seasoned with synthesizers, then the latter is a good example of an undergrand design with a bias in BSDM Tematics. Leather, latex, transparent linen on women, raincoats, rivets, various elements of shibari and gut cultures here look at the same time organically and great. Women’s characters are dressed moderately and minimal and with a good taste, rolling from realistic to ephemeral.
As I see, the track is written under a strict influence The Prodigy
Probably the most recognizable track from Bloodrayne 2 – sounds in battles with vampires Ferryl and Zerensky
Typical embossed for traveling by level
The first club theme, .
. And the second. Both are written sensible
For some reason, the rhythm reminds of "Clubbed to Death" from "The Matrix"
The era when the roaring guitars were not shy about the soundtracks of the Western, not doom-like games.
The track here is very filtered shake. In a studio quality, he does not fly into such an overload on percussion, but still conveys the randomness of the local battles. Especially with bosses
The overall impression on the passage is mixed. For every good element there is its own "me". I am pleased that the game after reprint still “breathes” the spirit of the sixth generation of consoles – it is felt like in Render and in design and general art that they remained untouched. Even the music is left as it is, to match the spirit of time. And “zero” is one of my favorite musical eras, along with the 80s and 90s. However, all the positive disappears almost completely due to the monotony and repeatability of the elements of levels (for the tower of Keigan, I would personally force Battletoads on NES with broken fingers), crookedness, charming and one -sided battles, dampness of individual sections of the game code relating to conflicts and acrobatics. However, I wanted – I passed.
Went and went, adventure for 6-10 hours. What gives us at the exit ..
… Personal assessment of the pleasure: 6 out of 10, even taking into account the great love for the Rhine as a character and the world in which she lives. The game ends with a fatest hint of a tricel, which we, unfortunately, did not even see. And it’s a pity and in vain. Such a daring AA-Through now oh oh what is not enough.
