Fangs for the memories
- Vampire's Fall 2 offers grimdark fantasy RPG action
- Become an unwilling vampire and embrace your dark side
- Explore a grim world of crumbling cities as you battle horrible monsters
The humble vampire has graced pop culture for years, and the world of grimdark fantasy is no different. Be it the Sylvanian families of the Warhammer world or the post-apocalyptic landscape of Vampire Hunter D. It's no surprise, then, that Vampire's Fall 2 is throwing you into the deep end with a world plagued by undead bloodsuckers.
The original Vampire's Fall sold itself on being an old-school RPG with modern sensibilities, and the sequel is no different. The sprawling overworld of Vampire's Fall 2 will see you taking your own custom character across this grim landscape of crumbling cities and dark dungeons, jumping into turn-based battles to take on vicious enemies.
Of course, you're not just any regular adventurer, and the store page is quick to spoil the fact that you're turned into a vampire early on in the story. But this curse grants you powerful new abilities to complement your very human arsenal of weapons and gear.
For those of you used to ray-tracing and fancy graphics, Vampire's Fall 2 may seem to be a bit of a step downward with its janky animation and 2D world. But it succeeds in offering that same vaguely spooky old-school vibe that those who first ventured into Tristram back in the day with Diablo 1 will fondly recall.
And beyond that, modern sensibilities such as intelligent NPCs with daily routines, a sprawling progression system, and an arsenal of weapons to equip (not to mention your undead abilities) ensure that you won't be left at a loss for ways to dispatch your enemies in Vampire's Fall 2.
Still, if you prefer to make your survival a little more action-packed, there are plenty of options out there. Why not dig into our list of the top 7 games like Vampire Survivors for some examples?
