Following the events of Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, the vampire Blood Omen 2 's protagonist has assembled an army of vampires to take over the world of humans. Fighting across Nosgoth, his goal is to make his way to the great city of Meridian and take control of this stronghold. However, upon reaching the gates of the city, the army is challenged by the Serafan Order, an organized force of vampire hunters and its leader, the magical Serafan lord. Blood Omen 2 protagonist engages the Serafan lord in single combat, is struck down and defeated. Blood Omen 2 protagonist's sword, the Soul Reaver, is claimed by his enemy. Unconscious for 200 years, Blood Omen 2 protagonist awakes under the care of the vampire Umah to a world he barely recognizes. Following the defeat of Blood Omen 2 protagonist's army, the vampires have been hunted down by the Serafan and only a few remain. The city of Meridian is ruled under martial law by the Serafan Order, which is very oppressive towards its citizens. Strange glyph magic is used to power machines and fuel industry and at the same time is deadly to vampires and used as wards throughout the city. Blood Omen 2 protagonist swears revenge on the one who defeated him and seeks to reclaim his place as the ruler of the vampires.

The Legacy of Kain Series: Blood Omen 2 is a third person action game with adventure elements, more similar in perspective to Soul Reaver than the first Blood Omen game. The player views the environment from behind Blood Omen 2 protagonist's shoulder, moving him in different directions, attacking, jumping, using dark gifts, and grabbing on to ledges. Blood Omen 2 protagonist's life energy steadily depletes and must be replenished constantly by drinking blood. Blood is found by consuming any living creature nearby, often requiring defeating an enemy through combat first. As Blood Omen 2 protagonist consumes blood, his meter is filled up. Once full, Blood Omen 2 protagonist gains additional health. Blood Omen 2 protagonist also learns new dark gifts throughout the game by defeating boss creatures. Some gifts include: the ability to blend into mist, fire projectiles, use projectile telekinesis or make a great horizontal leap. Many of these abilities can be used to perform stealth kills which will instantly defeat a foe.

The Serafan Order uses glyph magic, partially because it is deadly to vampires. Blood Omen 2 protagonist will often encounter areas where he is barred from progressing because of glyph barriers and must find a way around them. Additionally, glyphs function similar to electricity in that they power machines and switches. Many of the puzzles featured in Blood Omen 2 involve needing to create a glyph circuit in order to deliver power to a specific point. Glyph energy glows as it travels down its path, allowing the player to see exactly where the energy spark is.
