With the help of a mysterious friend, Rayne must infiltrate a posh gathering of the undead elite to track down and destroy the evil forces at the heart of this wicked conspiracy.

Gameplay is spiced up with environmental puzzles including blood seals, grinder switches, floodlights and towering pillars of blood. Heaping on the brutality Rayne’s combat fatalities include Infection, to create exploding enemies; Heel Stomp, to instantly kill downed foes; and Drain, to feed and replenish her health. On her mission, Rayne cleaves through a plethora of grunts, goons and creatures of all shapes and sizes using her signature arm-blades and a relentless thirst for blood. Enemies include Flying Parasites, Wraiths and the dark master’s own Elite Guards. Alongside her trademark blades, Rayne also sports a pistol for ranged knock-downs and a beam weapon that doubles as a reflective shield to help solve puzzles. Even with all these enemies, good blood can be hard to come by. Luckily, Blood Fountains are now strategically placed throughout the game offering a level checkpoint and a moment to freshen up.
