PC gaming enthusiasts have a fresh title to explore, as Steam welcomes the launch of Vampire’s Fall 2, a free-to-play “2D dark fantasy RPG” developed by Early Morning Studio. This sequel to Vampire’s Fall: Origins offers an inviting entry point for newcomers, set hundreds of years after its predecessor. While players of the first game may catch a few narrative nuances, the sequel stands alone, ensuring accessibility for all.
For those curious about the original, it is priced at £9.99, contrasting sharply with its successor’s free-to-play model. However, it’s worth noting that Vampire’s Fall 2 does incorporate microtransactions and pay-to-win elements, a common feature in many free games.
‘Very Positive’ Reviews Have Flooded In on Steam
Although Vampire’s Fall 2 was previously available on mobile platforms, the PC version has been thoughtfully crafted rather than simply ported. Players can expect a seamless experience devoid of ads or paywalls, with all in-game purchases being entirely optional. Enhanced graphics and audio, alongside a user interface tailored for PC, elevate the overall gameplay experience.
The game invites players back into a dark and captivating world, where vampires dominate and humans exist as mere pawns. The synopsis sets the stage for an epic journey: “A hero is needed to save humanity, or seal its fate.” Players will traverse a meticulously designed open world, battling foes, acquiring new skills, and creating unique character builds.
Combat in Vampire’s Fall 2 is turn-based, requiring strategic thinking as players manage resources and adapt to various enemy strengths. With nine distinct weapon types and four skill trees—Anger, Deceit, Control, and Vitality—players can customize their combat style to suit their preferences. Whether one chooses to engage aggressively or tactically, the game offers a variety of approaches to victory.
As players progress, they will discover new loot that enhances their stats, and for those seeking a competitive edge, a PvP mode is available, providing an alternative to the main questline. The initial reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with 85% of reviews categorized as ‘Very Positive.’
Players have expressed their enjoyment of the game, with one noting, “Four hours in, I think this is a fun game. Relaxing turned-based RPG.” Another remarked on its charm, stating, “It has a good storyline and is funny. It has a Diablo feel mixed with V Rising. You can either grind or go with the main story quests.” They added, “With some grinding, you can easily buy gear from the vendors using in-game gold,” addressing concerns about the perceived pay-to-win mechanics.
Vampire’s Fall 2 is now available on Steam, ready for players to dive into its dark fantasy realm.
