BloodRayne: Betrayal is getting a temporary price reduction on the PlayStation Network in Europe. It will be available for 20% off between November 16 and November 30.

Rayne, has returned to battle and feed in this hack ‘n slash adventure developed by WayForward, the seasoned team behind some of gaming’s most critically acclaimed brand reinventions.

We had reviewed the game, which you can check over here.

BloodRayne: Betrayal relies on precise moves a lot of the time, with her having to navigate deadly obstacle courses by doing different things such as jumping on the heads of bats to get her to safety.  One small mistake in timing will lead to death and this goes for combat many times as well.  The game definitely tends to a certain type a gamer who strive to master the difficult arcade style games.  Without taking advantage of combos and many of her special moves you will surely fail as the game is much, much more than a light/heavy attack type of hack ‘n slasher.  Rayne also has the ability to use a range weapon at times but this is limited as the games basis is around you using your swords.  She can also turn into a bat at certain times letting her easily navigate higher areas or dangerous obstacle courses.

Rayne has many attacks…

As much as you must master the controls and combos, Raynes animations cannot be interrupted which can lead to your death in certain situations.  For a 2D platformer, the graphics are uniquely awesome as well as all the combat animations and Raynes movements in general.  Just simply entering a level is cool as you launch in from the sky in your coffin as it slowly opens after landing revealing yourself ready for battle.  The game also has Rayne doing plenty of acrobatic moves like back flips, wall grappling and more that add to all the different mechanics in the game that you really need to delve into to not only survive, but enjoy.  You can upgrade Raynes abilities as you move through the game as well as gaining new abilities and getting new ranged weapons.

The game even has replay value as you can go back and continue to upgrade Rayne, grab of the collectables and conquer the high scores on the leaderboards.  I was not kidding when I mentioned that, the game tends to a certain type of gamer, because if you are all about the easier next generation retail games than this is not for you.  If you where a fan of the old Castlevania games for NES or even a fan a Dead Samurai, you will absolutely love this game.  It takes the aspects from those old, difficult arcade action platformers and ups the ante with Rayne moving across the screen at lighting speeds, dashing away only to come back with a killer combo, annihilating multiple enemies.  Master her combos, along with her acrobatic skills and throwing in her occasional ranged attack and you will surely have a blast.

Majesco have announced that the Bloodrayne series will return with a DLC game, titled Betrayal, landing on PSN and XBLA sometime this summer.

WayForward is developing the game, which sees our heroine fighting out in 2D side-scrolling action with a deadly dose of bloodshed.

In the game, long standing protagonist Rayne has been recruited by the vampire hunting Brimstone Society for one final mission, where she teams up with a mysterious new character to thwart a vampire massacre. Puzzles, an arsenal of weapons along with new characters and emeries will be on hand, specifically designed for mature audiences.

“It’s been a long time since Rayne captivated players with her bold mix of brutality and beauty, and fans have been hounding us to release another BloodRayne installment,” said Jesse Sutton, CEO of Majesco Entertainment.

“We are excited to once again partner with the creative and committed team at WayForward to bring Rayne back. BloodRayne: Betrayal delivers the action-packed experience franchise fans have been waiting for in a digital format that’s also accessible for new players unfamiliar with Rayne’s over-the-top, stylized gameplay.”

The Bloodrayne games have always been mediocre at best, but maybe Betrayal will buck this trend.
