What I do feel connected to, however, is Vampire: The Masquerade, so when Sharkmob approached me with a new game that is literally battle royale with vampires, I was too intrigued to say no. Surprisingly enough? It works! Here's my Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodhunt preview.įor those that may not be the biggest of tabletop fans, Vampire: The Masquerade is a stunningly expansive RPG experience that has evolved so much through the years. Numerous adaptations have come and gone to expand upon this world, including video game takes that breathe fresh life (or unlife?) into the characters we know and those we can create. I've tanked years into this universe and used the very rules of The Masquerade to build so many fan-creations of my own, so imagine my surprise when the latest game to be announced under this umbrella was a PvP battle royale adventure. Now take that surprise, and imagine how that tripled when I found myself really enjoying my time with Bloodhunt. It turns out that this is actually the perfect pairing. What are vampires, if not incredibly cunning creatures with the means, and desire, to kill? What is battle royale, if not very much the same?

The only upside was that a dev that worked on the game died immediately after me, so I felt a little bit better. I chose based on skill, not aesthetic, and went Vandal (she still looked cute, don't worry), and the tides of battle changed. I think in my second match, I ended up landing in the top 8 spot, which isn't too shabby when you remember that I died first the previous round.įor centuries, vampires have lived and thrived among humans, maintaining The Masquerade. Players will need to use their supernatural powers, weapons, and wit to survive the night and restore the masquerade! With a holy mission to annihilate all vampires, they take the hunt to the streets of Prague… Now a treacherous betrayal has stirred a war amongst the vampire sects, exposing them to the secret society known as The Entity.
