Vampyr Reviews

It was not a AAA game, but the game is decent. certainly better than today's triple A Dark RPG-themed game + semi open world with an interesting story, set during the Spanish flu pandemic. little bit repetitive, you have to fight same enemies in an area where they'll respawn sometime after you left it. even though they respawn repeatedly, they drop certain items for upgrades. People have been complaining a lot about the final boss, how hard it is to beat the final boss, there is even a reddit thread about it. I played the game 3.5 times, normal and hard, defeated the boss 4 times. Good ending with underlevel around 26-29 and bad ending with high level 40+. They suck cuz they didnt prepare ammo n stuff, not fully upgrade stake revolver. overall it was a great game 7/10

This game is very flawed and tbh I've never finished it. That being said, I've played the first 2/3rds of the game many times on different platforms and I've enjoyed it every time

It's not a perfect game. It's irritating moving about all over the map going to different areas without any fast travel (not even between safe houses). The main character can be a little confusing and inconsistent (He suddenly shows concern over a dying vampire when he has been killing them the whole game). Boss fights can be a little cheesy. I beat this game with only a couple citizen feedings so I was under leveled and thus had to win by running around bosses in circles. The story is decent, the atmosphere is great. I wouldn't recommend at full price but it's worth it at a steep discount.

One of the few great vampire RPGs. Great atmosphere, good writing, compelling characters, a vibrant, living world, clunky but still serviceable combat and decent traversal of a world with plenty of exploration. And, if none of that pulls you in, just know that it's better than VTMB2. World of Darkness refugees welcome.

[h3]ENG[/h3]: A fantastic game, not perfect in terms of playability, sometimes not perfect in terms of controls and animations, but honestly the only one that can be considered the spiritual successor to the “Vampire The Masquerade” video games. It's worth buying in the hope that maybe one day it will have a sequel. [h3]IT[/h3]: Un grande gioco, non perfetto nel gameplay, a volte un po' legnoso, ma in tutta onestà è l'unico che fino ad oggi è riuscito a raccogliere l'eredità spirituale di Vampire The Masquerade. Vale la spesa, è degno di avere un seguito, se mai succederà.

Not too bad as a game. The storyline and atmosphere are fantastic, but combat needs a lot of reworking. The game controls feel like it's been designed for a console but been ported over to PC. Makes for awkward fights, and the bosses are ridiculously OP for no reason - Normal is hard and Hard is almost impossible. Makes fights just frustrating instead of rewarding (especially when you've been on the 1 boss fight for 30min and multiple restarts before finally winning due more to luck than skill or good management).

Wonderfully interesting story line with multiple avenues to approach the game. Only frustrating thing I've experienced is finding things on the map; people and items. However, those don't negate my recommendation.

genuinely so much fun. some of the most enjoyable combat mechanics i've seen in an RPG game, story is very well developed and detailed. i'm a fan of the dynamic difficulty of the game, making you REALLY feel the true effects of your choices on the community. great game!!

Don't get me wrong this game has the perfect atmosphare and story for a vampire game. Everything in these 2 domains is almost perfect. However there is nothing more infuriating and frustrating than a bad game experience because of the extremely poor gameplay design and mechanics systems. Attacks not landing, enemies being overpowered for no reason (and yes I have played both many hack and slash and souls like games so I can tell when an enemy is overpowered for no reason). Ηard mode means being a handicapped vampire which is ALWAYS underleveled no matter what and the XP I gain is in a constant race with the damage I deal, competing over which one ends up being lower. Also whenever you die not only you spawn way behind your progress in terms of npcs killed and your previous location but you also don't get any consumable regenarated or at least they are not in the previous status before you died. I will not talk about not having a fast travel system because this wouldn't be necessary if 90% of the game areas were not consist of locked doors and gates and enemies waiting for you at literally every corner. They had the recipe for a perfect vampire game experience and they wasted it. And last but not least I personally believe there should have been more defensive mechanics such as parry or some kind of mind control since you know, you are a damn vampire.

Twelve dreams for the Red Queen under crown of stone. Eight voracious beasts born from eight restless nights. Four nails piercing the flesh of the sinner. One prayer for the summoned called by this song. ‘Tis perchance the countdown to oblivion, For the once proud city of London. For what is darkness but lurking sun? What is life but death pending? I have been rejoicing as of late in my exploration of Vampyr, a game of mediocre combat, but such splendid atmosphere, vibe, and narrative. London, 1916, somewhere around the East End Docks – a fine, evocative setting. It’s bleak, dark, and rainy, and the Thames is still untamed and canal-like, and completely undammed against the horrors of the black warp. Those were the times right before technology dispelled the wonders of yore from our ever-boring existences. There’s something haunting the streets of London at night, together with the ongoing war and epidemic; terror has gripped the city. One bar near the docks has decided to stay open all night to aid nocturnal folk and provide a safe port among the darkness. Our story begins here, where we converse with local folk and hear about the eerie stuff that is abuzz: strange disappearances, hard to explain sightings, weird noises, all interwoven in the dark mist of the night. The above verse is from the game’s opening screen (which I edited a bit), read by an eerie voice against a back drop of crimson patches swirling in utter darkness. It oozes atmosphere. I cannot believe I was unaware of this gem’s existence, it’s reminiscent of VtMB’s good old atmosphere. Even though the graphics are not the greatest, it really has a haunting vibe that elevates one’s mind and mood to dimensions unobstructed.
