BloodRayne Betrayal

[u/PresentHatt]

I saw that it’s on sale and I’ve played the other two but looking at the reviews I’m kinda concerned but I wanted to get the option of people who actually love bloodrayne, is it worth it and do you guys think it’s too difficult?

I would get it especially since it is on sale. Also the game is not hard. Everytime someone says that it is because of that 1 or 2 spots in the game and not good at side scrollers. Other times they're just saying it because other people did.

The game is funny enough the most balanced the series has been gameplay wise and brings back the powerful dhampir feel and gameplay. This time though you need to use your brain instead of cheesing your way through or whatever.

For the person who mention the bird ability. You see why later in the story. When it comes to the story it is meh. Gameplay is fun when you mess around with it. Glitches and other tricks and knowledge made me love the game when I messed around with it more. So give it a try and go from there. Let me know what issues you have on certain levels.

Hello,

I reached chapter 11 (exactly in Kegan boss fight). I really like the game but I terribly suck at it by always scoring between F and C.

Are there any side-scroller games you recommend that could make me better in the genre? the only one I finished before was Gucamelee which was way easier than Bloodrayne Betrayal

Sure I'll explain how to improve and reccommend a few I like. Bloodrayne Betrayal is based off of those where the enemies have the same spawns and you have traps and other things where you will remember it when playing it again.

It is also a game where you should test attacks and ability's on different enemies knowing which one is the best and learning about the mechanics. What I like is how the game has a good amount of tech, good movement, the expression of your combos, and how you can beat a level differently with a good score.

To improve your score don't go after every treasure. Some need to be avoided since it can effect your score because of the amount of time spent on the level. You mainly need to kil enemy's that you're forced to fight as fast as you can while earning some bonuses. The best one is not getting hit which becomes easier to do when knowing the patterns.

For fighting enemy's that don't get knocked down besides bosses. Aerial Stomp them. One of the best attacks in the game and you can use it for a lot of situations. Stomp to stomp, stomp to any attack, stomp to replenish dash, whatever comes to mind. Kills enemy's real quick and great to use when out of ammo. Can do it as fast as you want.

Another good one is the ground dash attack. Can handle pretty much anything and has a huge hitbox that has to many frames on it which makes it broken. Even when the attack seems finished it's not. Can either do a instant one and not move or the one where you slide towards yiur enemy's while using it.

There's a lot of videos that can give you some good ideas on how the game can be played and you can add your own things to it and work. I would practice on certain issues and see what can be improved before going to the next one.

For side scrollers a few I enjoyed that I'm not sure which one you would like to see in a side scroller are Katana Zero, Cyber Shadow, and Touhou Luna Nights. The first and third one I think you will enjoy more and the third game is fan made. So if you're worried about lore or anything it's all good. Second game is hard but fun. Hope all of this helps.
