It’s not related to Vampire: The Masquerade, but it’s still a lore rich game in its own right worth checking out. This one’s an action RPG game with a decent story and some excellent moments. This one isn’t exactly brand new, as it came out in 2018, but it’s still among the newest dedicated games allowing you to play as a bloodsucker.
If you want to play a game that lets you be a bloodsucking vampire, this is the one to start with. The gameplay is a little rough around the edges (it’s an old game) especially when it comes to combat, but it’s absolutely worth sticking with it just to enjoy the story.įrom what we understand you don’t have to play BL1 to enjoy BL2, but BL1 is chocked full of delicious lore and excellent storytelling. Those new to Vampire: The Masquerade would be hard-pressed to find a better entry point. Those familiar with the World of Darkness will enjoy the clever onboarding experience for characters of the various titular bloodlines. If you’re drooling like a Toreador in an art gallery in anticipation of Bloodlines 2, the natural first stop on your tour of vampire video games is the original title.īL1 holds up surprisingly well. There’s also Night Roads on PC and mobile.īut if you’ve exhausted those and still crave more blood, here’s the list. If you haven’t played them, they’re a lot like those old Choose Your Own Adventure books except you can pick your character and the graphics are really pretty. And, of course, since it’s a list about video games it has Skyrim on it too.įirst things first though, let’s not forget that the excellent interactive fiction titles Vampire: the Masquerade Coteries of New York and Shadows of New York both released on PC and consoles. That’s a subtle way of saying this list is a mixture of new titles, old titles, and mods you may have missed. And sometimes you have to veer off the beaten path to find what you’re looking for. That doesn’t mean there aren’t some good vampire games out there, they’re just not as easy to find as a WWII shooter or D&D-inspired hack-n-slash game.
Alas, such mortal pleasures did not come to pass. When Hollywood went into a vampire frenzy for about a decade after Twilight sold a gazillion books it seemed like a no-brainer that gaming’s bloodsucker genre would extend beyond the shadows of Castlevania and the original Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. However, as we’ve recently seen what can happen when a much-anticipated game is released a little too early, we here at TNW commend Paradox and developer Hardsuit Labs for making the decision to keep BL2 in the oven for as long as it needs.īecause, and I cannot stress this enough, there simply aren’t enough good vampire games out there.
