NoNewTaleToTell: Just finished the demo, I enjoyed it but I can't say I'm sold completely on it. There was very little lore introduced in the demo and the few characters present weren't at all interesting (in my opinion). The gameplay itself is fine, the powers are cool enough, the melee system is simple (but not bad), but it used that "Batman and his Batarang" puzzle too much. Graphically it's decent for what it is, ditto for the sound. I'm not a fan of only having one save slot and the game constantly saving over your hard saves (typically at the worst possible time).

Assuming you bought it, once you get out of the ruins what is the city like and can you do quests around the city, or are you sent back into generic ancient ruins for actual questing? Does the story improve or is it just barely there, any interesting characters introduced? What is the general mood and feel like, does it have an industrial/goth tint to the entire game like Bloodlines or...?

My favorite part of the demo was the ability to sire and then send your own fledglings out to do your bidding, that's just awesome.

P1na: I gave the demo a go over the weekend. Honestly, not particularly impressed. Combat was clunky, and story was not very attractive as far as I could tell. It felt like a 3rd person clunky diablo clone with a vampire theme and a dungeon exploration/secret finding focus. The whole biting and family mechanic was intriguing, it could have a lot of potential, however it wasn't used for much so far.

Sure, it may pick up later. But if the demo was meant to showcase what the game has to offer, I don't think I'm interested in getting more of that.

F1ach: Yeah, I haven't actually played it myself since my last post, going to wait until its finished, but for that price its worth a punt imo, but I do see your point :)

P1na: Well, once you get to try it in full, if it does pick up do report it please. I'm down for a good vampire RPG, I just don't like diablo style ARPG too much.
