Bloodrayne: Betrayal

BloodRayne: Betrayal is the third game in BloodRayne series. In a big departure from the previous parts, the game uses a much more cartoonish and comic-like approach, both in its graphics style and its increased use of humorous content. It is a side-scrolling action platformer in vein of Castlevania titles, with strong emphasis on stylish and exaggeratedly bloody hack-and-slash action.

On the request of the Brimstone Society, Rayne leads a group of soldiers to a gigantic, evil underground castle to battle Kagan, her father. The soldiers don’t turn out to be too effective, but at least Rayne gets help from surprising directions. Rayne is able to dash, take long backflips, and wall-jumping is an effective technique for navigating the castle. She may attack enemies with her blades, and guns and kicks, with various combo attacks. Being a dhampir – a half-vampire – she’s also able to drink the blood of her enemies to recover her energy. She’s also able to infect enemies, essentially turning them into walking bombs that she can detonate on her whim, causing spectacular spreading explosions.
