Players used to first-person twitch shooters may have to spend some time adjusting, but the movement and abilities all feel great on the controller and intuitive. The shooting feels satisfying, if slightly floaty on PS5. The melee weapons were especially deadly, as we managed to pick up a few victories combining them with the aforementioned melee buff. From contemporary guns to crossbows and even a katana. We found that the game manages to have a healthy variety of weapons that appear to be viable. For example, one person may increase for melee damage by 5%, but finding and blood-sucking three of the same type will make your melee power pretty much unstoppable. These various Prague residents each grant players special buffs that can be stacked if you continue to feed on the same type of person. This also means that if you’re going for the high tier loot and you’re not prepared to take them out quickly enough, you’ll create a large advertisement showing other players exactly where you are.This also happens if you’re spotted on the street feasting on an NPC character. They also serve as a great distraction, as once they engage with an enemy, it makes it significantly easier to get the drop on them or sneak by. Taking a full group of them down is not easy, but they also hold the keys to high tier loot which can quickly turn the tide of battle. Throughout the visually impressive Prague map, there are areas guarded by The Entity, armour-clad sentinels that shoot on-site and boast a large pool of health. The mixture of dark city streets and neon glow makes the horror elements of battle royale games feel even stronger. It’s incredibly satisfying to see someone running off in the distance and stalking them across Prague. You’ll do this by picking up weapons and hunting down your fellow creatures. In either Solo or Trios mode, the aim is simple, be the last vampire standing. They seem extremely effective, and it doesn’t appear as though there’s a clearly dominant character, although we’re sure that’ll emerge once more players get their hands on the game. ![]() These abilities include things like projecting a version of yourself for enemies to shoot, or disappearing into a cloud of smoke. This will affect the abilities the player has in-game and the look of the character. Matches in Bloodhunt begin with players choosing a class to specialise in. Taking the pen & paper RPG series that would later be adapted into popular adventure games and creating a battle royale may seem strange on the surface, but, after just one or two matches with the upcoming PS5 version (out April 27), we’re impressed with just how seamlessly the genres blend, and how keen we are to keep playing. Passive - Weight of the Feather: Allows the kindred to fall slower if holding space bar.Īrchetype Power - Shapeshift: For 5 secs you cant use guns, but you get a boost to your speed, attack speed are boosted 1.5x/2x and your unarmed weapon becomes purple rarity.Conceptually, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt is… unique. Here's my attempt:Ĭlan Power - Scent of Prey: Reveal enemy players around your area (the radius of your minimap, maybe smaller?) for 8 seconds.Īlternatively, for some movement options it could be Pounce: Lunge forward at an enemy and stun them for 1- 2 secondsĪrchetype Power - Ravenous Swarm: Send out a cloud of insects that damages enemies who stand in it, (maybe even heals for a percentage of dmg taken/bypasses armor) Malkavian was complicated for me to not include obfuscate and translate auspex and even dominate/dementation into offensive abilities, and even then im not comfortable with having abilities that take control away from the player, glitch the screen, fuck with controls, etc, and then Tremere feels like the most potential for new mechanics while still having disciplines that can be easily translated into a shooter. To me Gangrel feels the most like it could fit what the game has done at this point, with the con that it might feel stale. So in a conversation with Maia, she wonders about the "mysterious absence" of clans gangrel, malkavian and tremere, that plus a poll last week here got me thinking of how one would implement these clans without stepping on archetypes already in-game. ![]()
