Mana Pool: "Based on White Wolf’s roleplaying system, Vampire: The Masquerade, Bloodlines explores the appropriately named World of Darkness from the point of view of a newly-made vampire. Riddled with bugs on release thanks to the ridiculous pressure placed on its developers, Troika Games, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines received less attention than it deserved. Some years on, the community has fixed the most egregious bugs and it has become a brilliant game."
Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.
What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.
A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.
No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.
I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.
Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines is a cult classic that's finally getting a sequel, but what made it unique in the first place?
It may have been a mess, but Bloodlines' critical success goes to show that a well-crafted story and cast of characters can make even the worst games good.
