  • Legacy of Kain: Defiance is an action-adventure video game, the fifth and, thus far, final installment in the Legacy of Kain series. Developed by Crystal Dynamics (with support from Ritual Entertainment) and published by Eidos Interactive, it was originally released for the PlayStation 2 on November 11, 2003, and was subsequently ported to Microsoft Windows and the Xbox. Acquiring mixed to high reviews upon release, the game was praised for finally answering many questions posed throughout the series, but was criticized for its repetitive gameplay and awkward camera controls. It was preceded by Blood Omen 2, and is the first title to feature both the Vampire lord Kain and his lieutenant-turned-Wraith, Raziel, as playable characters. Defiance picks up after the cliffhanger ending of Soul Reaver 2, and takes place in the consequential fourth timeline. After executing Raziel to be revived by the Elder God during the events of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Kain travels backwards through time and is followed by Raziel into Nosgoth's past, uncovering the conspiratorial events that led to the land being doomed to an eternity of corruption. After establishing his free will by refusing to kill Kain when prophesied, Raziel discovers that Moebius the Time Streamer had originally manipulated Kain into igniting a genocidal war against Vampires until he was the last of his kind. In manipulating Raziel (who has free will and thus whose decisions and actions cannot be foreseen by Moebius), Kain hopes to find a way to undo the consequences of his actions and restore Nosgoth to its former glory.
