The 7 Best Vampire Games: Embrace the Night

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.

The_Hooligan117d ago

IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.

SimpleSlave117d ago (Edited 117d ago )

Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.

But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.

But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.

Thats the best Vampire game ever, but enough talk, have at you!.

I've lost all hype for Bloodlines 2. It's going to be an action game.

Barlos117d ago

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.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Returns In New Prequel Graphic Novel

After lying dormant for two decades, the Legacy of Kain franchise finally rises again in the form of a graphic novel that explores Raziel's origin story.

giovonni15d ago

Respectfully, damn all that can we get a closer to the story?

Tankbusta4015d ago

Yeah I agree...people that like graphic novels might be excited...but put out another game!

giovonni15d ago

It’s been damn near 20 years and we still left on a cliff hanger. They up here remaking games but can’t remake this one? It’s a travesty

Terry_B15d ago

Its looking great, might get it.

raWfodog15d ago

Oh damn, I thought they were announcing a game. It's a long shot but maybe this could lead to further interest in the story and then hopefully a game in the future.

Snookies1215d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Embracer is supposed to be working on a sequel, remaster, remake, etc. for Soul Reaver. They asked fans if they wanted it and said they heard the interest in it afterward, and that something would be coming. Hopefully that's still the case, considering they seemed to have bit off more than they could chew buying up everything in sight.

TheNamelessOne14d ago

The way Embracer has been handling things, I doubt they're greenlighting anything that isn't seen as being a sure thing success.

Exvalos14d ago

I mean i guess it could be cool to see more of what Raziel was like before, Kain turned him.

jznrpg14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

You spoiled it!

j/k

I do see people get mad and post the “you should mark this as a spoiler” comment after games have been out for many years or even decades+ which is funny to me.
