I have a confession to make. I have absolutely no idea what BloodRayne is about. OK, so there's some sexy vampire lady in the game, and she hunts other vampires. I think. But after hearing a great deal about her mediocre gaming exploits and her terrible film, I gave BloodRayne an indefinite pass in my head. Then I played BloodRayne: Betrayal at this past year's E3, and it left an indelible mark on me as the single biggest surprise of the show.
I've since gotten my hands on the final version of the game and worked my way through it in its entirety. And I really enjoyed myself. One word came to mind pretty much every second I played it -- "Castlevania" -- because BloodRayne: Betrayal reeks of an old-school entry in the series. In fact, with developer WayForward's relationship with Konami already established with its Contra offering, something deep within me says that BloodRayne: Betrayal was most certainly meant to be a Castlevania game, one that never got approved.
Like the Castlevania games that clearly inspired it, BloodRayne: Betrayal is a 2D side-scrolling action-platformer. And much like those games, BloodRayne: Betrayal totes brutal difficultly. Be warned: BloodRayne: Betrayal will challenge gamers lacking an old-school pedigree. If you prefer the brand of contemporary games that tend to beat themselves for you, you're barking up the wrong tree. But if you enjoy sadistic, at times heinously hard romps from the days of yore, then you may just be in luck with Betrayal.
One thing concerns me about BloodRayne: Betrayal. Many gamers won’t give it a chance because of the BloodRayne moniker associated with it. But it would be a mistake to ignore a game like this. Betrayal isn’t for everyone, but for classic gamers looking for a hard romp, it’ll prove to be a great success.

Jun 15, 2021 · A decade ago, Wayforward attempted to freshen up the dormant BloodRayne franchise by reimagining it as a 2D side-scrolling action game, BloodRayne: Betrayal.
