Gameplay
The basis of the game is the destruction of many enemies through various techniques using sharp blades, harpoon and special Dampier pistols. In addition, for the destruction of opponents, you can use the surrounding objects: for example, throwing enemies on sharp thorns. Actively used acrobatics. Raine can move along the railing, simultaneously cutting opponents with his double blades, climbing pipes, jumping from one grid to another, swinging on crossbars and even shooting from them, hanging upside down, etc. The game has split bodies (chopped off limbs fully and partially), a lot of brutal finishing moves of enemies. The corpses disappear with time, but the blood remains. Also in the game there are secret locations in the form of round rooms with blood. If the Rhine gets up in the center, then the scales of health, rage, and also ammo will be filled entirely. In addition, Raine will receive massacre points. Rooms are rare, the entrance to them can be found only with the help of the view of the vampire.
Health in the game can be replenished with only one source - blood. The most common source of blood is enemies. Rain has the ability to jump on enemies and suck the blood out of them. After sucking the blood, you can complete the finishing, for which points are given rage. But if the enemy has a melee weapon in his hands, he will not succeed in sucking blood, he will have to knock him out first, or attack the enemy from behind. Enemies are a limited source of blood, and if there is little health, it cannot be fully replenished by one enemy. But there are unlimited sources of health - most often it is any vessels or even rooms filled with blood. Being at least knee-deep in blood, Raine replenishes his health. There are only a few such sources in the game.
In addition to the health scale, BloodRayne 2 has a rage scale. It is replenished when striking with blades or with particularly cruel methods of killing: when chopping off body parts or completely dismembering, when finishing up after sucking blood or when killing using the surrounding interior (for example, throwing spikes or bursting barrels near the enemy). Rage is necessary to activate the superpowers of the Rane.
Story
The plot in the game BloodRayne 2 is completely linear. The player will have to perform tasks that can be performed in one way, without the right to choose. Basically you have to run around the locations, killing enemies or destroying any objects with the same enemies in order to pass on. In total, the game has 8 levels, which are divided into 31 locations. Between rounds there is a fight with the bosses . The plot develops over a time span of 60-70 years after the events described in BloodRayne in the 2000s. Rain finds his vampire half-brothers and sisters and kills him, trying to get revenge on his father, who killed her mother's family.
Mansion
Rain comes to the ball, organized for famous people by her stepbrother Derell Zerinsky in honor of Halloween. Zerinski does not know Rain, because he only pays attention to her dress. After a brief conversation, Rain goes to talk with Severin. He tells her that on the floor above there is a locked well guarded door, behind which, perhaps, there is something connected with Cagan, her late father. Rain puts on his blades and goes to explore the situation. After going through several corridors and rooms (while killing Zerinsky's servants), Rain learns that Zerinsky is in the so-called "Cult of Cagan" - Cagan's minions fighting for the power of the vampires. Upon learning this, she fights with the killer-killer dumpie. After killing him, she goes to the secret vampire door. In the next room, Rane sees a portrait of Cagan above the fireplace, and recalls the events of 1939 in the library. To go further, she needs to throw a few servants into the fireplace. Down the fireplace down, after the next skirmishes with the enemies goes into the yard. With the help of acrobatic tricks he climbs up to the next wing of the building.
From there it gets to the roof. On the roofs, she gets into the next building, in which she finds Carpathian Dragons - pistols, according to legends that can convert blood into shells for firing. Passing a few more rooms and climbing up the next wall, Rain falls into the ballroom, in which Zerinsky and his henchmen killed all the guests. After the dialogue, they move to the courtyard on the rooftops, where a huge flock of bats flies in the sky. Zerinski is able to turn into bats, so Rain has to use his superpowers to find him among thousands of similar ones. After the murder of Zerinski, Severin arrives in a helicopter for Raine. A video clip is shown between missions, in which Zerks (Cagan's son, a scientist working for him) talks to Ephemera about Zerinski, after which he shows her a fat, ugly creature suspended from limbs, telling her that this is blood supply for a rainy day . Ephemera tries and spits.
Meat Factory
Rain and Severin are sitting in the O'Leary Cow bar talking about the disappearance of people and about the connection with this vampire. Suddenly Severin comes an important call, and he leaves. After he leaves, a police car crashes through the door of the bar, and Rain remains locked inside the bar, and in order to get out, she has to break (by her opponents) a large fan on the top floor. After her release, Severin informs her that there is an unusual activity of vampires in the area of the meat-processing plant “Ray-Ray Meat Products” . The entrance to the meat factory is blocked by a broken garbage truck, and Rayne needs to break the car, naturally, with the help of enemies. Freeing the entrance, Rain falls into an ambush set up by Kestrelamy, a large group of Dumpier from East Asia. After destroying all enemies, she sets off in pursuit of the rooftops after them. Rising to the top, Rain fights with one of Kestrel. Already almost dead, Kestrel runs away. Going down from the roof of the radio antenna, Rayne runs to the tunnel. But the entrance is blocked by a bloody curtain, and to pass, Rain must finish off the wounded Kestrel. Severin reports that people are being driven to the old station, where she is heading.
Station
On the platform of the station, Rane fights at once with one of Kestrel, while the other with the help of explosives destroys one exit, the second blocks with a blood curtain that will open only when Rayn defeats Kestrel. Before his death, Kestrel reports that the second is driving people to the club. Rain goes there. She goes through an abandoned dilapidated shopping center, where she fights with many enemies. Reaching the Straights Club , she falls into another trap, this time on the dance floor. To pass, she needs to throw the enemies at the same time on 4 columns, and this killed the next Kestrel due to an explosion from overload. After the club, Rain gets into the clock tower, and climbs the mechanism, consisting of huge gears. Climbing up, Rain meets Ephemera, who threw another Kestrel into the mechanism, which caused him to break, and the gears began to fall from above. There is a fight between Rain and Ephemera, during which the building loses stability more and more. Ephemera hurries to retire, leaving Rayn hope to continue the fight at another time. At this time, the mechanism of the clock finally falls apart, and Rain finds himself in a sewer, where he first meets Kestrel dumpers, who run away; then Severina, with whom she briefly talks.
Sewage
Rayne discovers a whole system of tunnels designed to move vampires by day so as not to fall under the rays of the sun. Passing along one of the tunnels, Rain faces a large-caliber machine gun. Freeing him from his enemies, she uses him to break her further path. Going further, she discovers that the enemies have again blocked her path, blowing up a tunnel. And she again uses a machine gun to undermine gas tanks and punch the floor. It descends into the service tunnel, through which, as Severin said, it will fall into the water treatment channel. The servants blocked the next tunnel with water, and Rain needed to stop the running water. She moves to the pumps, but on the way meets Kestrel, who lets her kamikazes on her. After turning off one of the pumps with a lever in the western pumping station, Rain fights with Kestrel. After killing her, Rain gets into the eastern pumping station. But there the servants blast the lever, and Rayne needed to destroy the pumps manually, using a kamikaze. When Rain descended into the tunnel, the pumps started up again (they are reliably duplicated), and Rain needed to use super speed to get away from the fast-moving water. Passing through the tunnels, Rayn again falls into a dead end. She needs to blow up the wall, and the kamikazes attacking her will help her (as if by chance). After breaking through the wall, she again uses the machine gun to make her way further. On there it goes down to the water treatment service station. Along the way, Ray hears a frightening voice, from which even the walls are shaking, but she has to go straight to the voice, because there is no other way. Further, the kamikaze blocks her way by blowing up the bridge. Raine needs to throw people into the water treatment so that the filters explode, the water level rises and the bridge floats up. Further, she meets with Tears - a huge succubus, and enters into a fight with her. After breaking through her belly, Rain sneaks in and out of her mouth with a harpoon, then gets out of the sewer and goes to the Vetvorks tower.
WetWorks
. It is already a day, and in order not to suffer from the sunlight, Rain has to be in the shade all the time. Rain gets into the shield where two large generators are located. In order to get into the service hall under them, Rain needs to disable the generators - blow them up. Going to the switch, Rain confronts Thunder, a big horned monster. To go further, Rayne must, of course, kill him. After that, it passes on, breaks the fences of the generators, throwing enemies at them, and goes down, from where it rises on the elevator to the top. Walking down the street in the shade, she falls into the dining room. There, after going through many ambushes, she meets with the Brigadier - a huge vampire with a 250-pound sledgehammer. After that, the elevator shaft is selected on the street, where he fights with Dampier, and goes to the chemical plant, where people's bodies are processed and turned into a shroud - a substance that covers the sun, consisting of blood and chemicals. Immediately at the entrance fights with the Brigadier. Further, she, as always, stumbles upon a locked door, in order to pass on, she needs to throw enemies into the jug with blood so that the pipes carrying this blood will break. Passing through the door and several corridors, Rain gets into the room with the turbine. Oddly enough, but the enemies do not need to break it. Although throw them there, and even dismember with her help Brigadier possible. Going upstairs, Raine fights with Dhampir in a large computer room. Going further, Rain gets into the crushing shop, where they process and grind people's limbs for further transformation into a shroud. The doors, as always, are locked, and Raine needs to go straight through the conveyor. After the workshop, Rain gets into the boiler room, where, in order to go further, you need to shower the furnaces and blow up the door. From the boiler room, she rises in an elevator and goes out into the street, where she is confronted by two Busters. After that, it enters the loading ramp, from where people are sent for recycling. To go further, she needs to break the gate and go through the conveyor, which leads to the recycling center. There she meets Ferril and rushes her in pursuit of the top of the building.
Tower of Shroud
During the ascent, Rayne uses elevators and her acrobatic skills, simultaneously destroying her enemies. Along the way, she stumbles upon a large pump, which must be destroyed by enemies, throwing them inside. Rising again, Rain gets into the room with a massive pump - a heart-like machine that accelerates blood through the pipes and releases the shroud into the air. The last floor is fully protected by automatic machine guns, to get through it, Rain will have to be very fast. On the roof, Raine needs to destroy the turbines, letting the shroud into the sky. She will be disturbed by Ferryl, which is impossible to kill. When all the generators are destroyed, an explosion will occur. Kagan and Efemera will come, after Efemera’s conversation, Ferril will be protruded from behind and discarded from a great height, after which they will leave with Kagan. Rain is watching this from under the rubble. After that, Severin comes to her, and they watch the shroud cover the sky. Rain stopped only one tower, but this did not stop the whole shroud. The vampires went outside, the chaos began. Kagan orders to blow up the charges, and the whole city turns into ruins.
Cursed Park
The path to the tower of Cagan lies through the park. Along the way, she meets vampires Ephemera - ninja nin dhampirs with long electric swords. Next, she needs to go through the gate, before which the helicopter fell. The screw of the helicopter is still spinning, so Rain must first throw enemies at him. Entering the zoo, Raine saw only gnawed remains of animals. She was attacked by two vampires from the Legion of Shadows Ephemera are very nimble masked ninja vampires. After killing them, Rain goes through the World of Reptiles. There she sees guides covered in a strange mass, apparently dead, but still stirring. After shooting one of them, Rain releases insects that take different forms, so they cannot be cut or shot. Going further, she sees that the Legion of Shadows uses flammable cylinders to destroy them. Severin informs her that the insects are awakened by shooting, so Rain should do without firearms. Rain descends into the great hall, where he fights with the Legion of Shadows and insects. After the death of the Legion of Shadows, Dampier the assassin jumps off to Raine and destroys the insects with fire. Rain also wants such a weapon, and therefore enters the fight. After winning, Rayne gets a mode of shooting "Bloody Flame". Further, on the way, she gets a broken shredder, which wakes insects with its motor. To get through, Rayn needs to throw several enemies into the crusher. Going further, she stumbles upon three vampires from the Legion of Shadows. After defeating them, she goes to the aquarium, despite the fact that water can kill her. Inside, everything is flooded, and, in order not to touch the water, Rain has to use his acrobatic skills. The servants know that Rain is afraid of water, so the aquariums next to her are specially pierced. In the main hall of the aquarium she needs to get under the floor, for this she uses a large mock of a whale, hanging above the hall, making its way to the tunnel. Downstairs she falls into the sewer, from there she again gets out into the park. The passage further is closed, and to open it, Rain uses a truck hovering over the entrance. Then she gets into the hall with columns, in which insects, vampires Ephemera, Brigadier and gunner are fighting against it. It is further prevented by the bloody curtain that will open only after the Brigadier’s murder. Then she meets up with Ephemera, who says she wants to kill Kagan and get all his power. After that, they enter the fray in the Chinese hall. There are many shadows, and in order to prevent Ephemera from recovering, Rain must first destroy everything that a shadow falls from, the so-called shadow portals. Having defeated Ephemera, Rain goes out and meets Severin there. Together they watch Ferril live and is about to kill his father. She gives a speech to her converted servants, who then go to the Cagan tower by helicopter. Rain clings to the chassis of one of the helicopters and sets off with them. But helicopters do not reach the target, they are hit by a solar cannon invented by Zerks, built on the principle of the evening star. Rain jumps off a helicopter and flies through a window directly into Zerks' lab.
Cagan Tower
Zerks sits in an impenetrable booth and controls solar cannons. Rain should destroy these cannons, but Cagan's servants interfere with her. After the destruction of the cannons, Rain finds the Blood Hammer on the table and 6 rockets for him. After that, she runs to look for Zerks. Along the way, she encounters two factions: the servants of Ferril and the servants of Cagan, who, besides Rayn, fight also among themselves. In one of the corridors, Raine is attacked by Thunder. After defeating him, Rayne walks up the landing, killing enemies along the way. Above, she stumbles upon a Space Suit - a large protective biomechanical suit, powerful and durable, but slow and awkward. Поднявшись ещё выше, Рэйн натыкается на одного из представителей «Троджер-Элитс» — очень старых вампиров, которых Кейган поработил ещё в начале своей карьеры. Ещё выше Рэйн натыкается на целую свору Скафандров. Но рядом стоят 3 пулемёта, которые послужат ей для уничтожения врагов. Пробив себе путь, Рэйн попадает в нору Вонюка — место в несколько этажей, с характерным запахом разлагающегося мяса. Убив тварь, Рэйн отправляется дальше и попадает в комнату с большим печатным станком, который выпускает газеты. Чтобы пройти, нужно сломать этот станок, кинув туда противников. Выше, в офисном зале, Рэйн сражается с дампиршей-убийцей. Далее, в съёмочной студии (где, предположительно, снимались новости) Рэйн сражается с двумя вампирами из Троджер-Элитс. Далее она приходит на крышу с бассейном, ей нужно вниз, для этого ей необходимо разбить стекло под бассейном — для этого она использует массивные декоративные шары в углах бассейна. Спрыгнув вниз, она попадает на кухню, где дерётся с ещё одним вампиром из элиты. Далее она спускается вниз в коридор, соединяющий здание с соседним. Там она встречается с очередной дампиршей-убийцей. На лестничной площадке Рэйн встречает Феррил, которая выбегает на крышу и сразу уничтожается солнечной пушкой Зеркса. Зеркс также хочет убить Рэйн. Он внутри огромного скафандра, но у него есть 4 слабые точки, с помощью которых Рэйн его и убивает. Когда Зеркс падает в своём скафандре, он пробивает крышу и тем самым открывает путь Рэйн. Она прыгает вниз и далее попадает в тронный зал Кейгана, где и сражается с ним. После победы, пинает его ногой «за её город», затем прокалывает спину «за её мать» и отрубает голову «за потраченную зря, полную злобы жизнь».
Намёк на продолжение
После убийства Кейгана, Северин напомнил Рэйн, что Кейган сказал о других лидерах вампиров, которые обязательно придут делить имущество, оставленное им. После показывают ролик, в котором мальчик бежит по подземке от большой своры вампиров и натыкается на тяжело экипированного человека с крупнокалиберным пулемётом. Он отстреливает вампиров, ему помогают две автоматические турели. После отстрела, мужчина снимает маску и открывает тяжёлые бронированные двери, за которыми находится убежище людей. В конце Рэйн за кадром говорит: «Следующие несколько лет обещают быть интересными».
