Mah own personal vamp in Code Vein, one of the two games i picked up on steam during the lunar sale ( the other one being , Immortal Realms - Vampire Wars ;) )
I have to say that this one is quite catching as far as soul likes go ( though i had that too in Nioh right until i found myself eye in eye with the first boss after the introduction, what a bummer << lords of the fallen and mortal shell don't seem to cut it but, who knows, a nice anime girl always manages to hit my mood in a right way ))
Combat, ( so far ) is still action rpg enough to keep it entertaining though not as arcade minded as say a Nier Automata, there is of course your stamina bar familiar from any other soulslikes but this somehow does not stand in the way of creating situations where you are literally swamped with enemies. With the optional a.i. partner life remains good so far. Combat option wise the game seems a bit bland, so far i dodge, and hack and slash myself quite in a traditional way through the levels. There are different styles you can switch between, all with their own special skill set and stat requirement, for example a normal sword can be considered a heavy weapon with certain profiles which i'm currently examining, and those styles have to be unlocked in certain manners and can even be upgraded by use of items you probably need to either find or kill some especially wicked lost ( =fallenvampire )
The story is told in a simple manner, your character seems to be literally without tongue and all in all the whole character vocalization seems, in English at least , pretty dull.... not to mention the whole uhm drive of the game. But who knows... most anime's are slow starters so who knows what kind of amazing discoveries lie ahead!
Certainly recommendable if you did enjoy Nier and always found yourself with a craving for combat games with a rpg like cape( as in not 1v1 fighting games such as streetfighter but games that have you fight even more then your traditional 1v1 arena battler in a fighter way )
