This is where the Masquerade mechanic enters the scene. And the soldiers of the Department, who, even without any mystical powers, are able to break any ghoul so that it does not seem a little, but they can get good equipment up to a minigun. And ordinary people are “neutral” – by and large, walking first aid kits, some of which are able to give the vampire small bonuses like increased damage in melee. Here are also vampire bots, designed to add mass to the battles and even out the dynamics of matches a little. There are a lot of people in Prague at night under the control of artificial intelligence. Thirdly, not only live players are actively involved in the massacre. There are not many appearance settings yet, but it is already possible to blind some funny freak However, there is no fundamental difference between the clans, unlike the same Bloodlines. Each clan corresponds to two archetypes, which, in theory, should open up a lot of scope for tactics. And the exquisite charms of the Toreador charm those around them and literally dazzle the enemies with their beauty … The result is a classic trio “warrior – thief – magician”. The hideous Nosferatu sly ones become invisible, send bats on scouts and hurl stinking “sewer bombs”. The big Brujahs play tanks and berserkers, arrange local earthquakes and swallow tons of bullets. There are only three clans available so far. Secondly, each bloodsucker has the very same superpowers: clan and class (classes here are called archetypes). Therefore, by the way, there is no transport in the game, all cars are either just decorations, or caches with armor and weapons. The main thing is not to forget to use all the available arsenal. And when combined with some abilities that seriously increase mobility, it makes any skillful bloodsucker a very difficult target. Each of them calmly withstands a burst from a machine gun in the stomach, briskly jumps along the walls, like the Prince of Persia, and without hesitation falls from the roofs, breaking the asphalt, like Alex Mercer from Prototype… Vampiric acrobatics is an important aspect of survival. At the end, the location narrows to a small patch, like a claustrophobic nightmareįirstly, we have not ordinary people here, but powerful children of the night. The differences are visible only in some details.ĭeadly red gas, according to the classic laws of the genre, from time to time shrinks its circle. 45 people (or rather, vampires) enter – one leaves. The essence, in general, is the same as in any “royal battle”: a spacious map, weapons and equipment scattered everywhere. However, if we put aside the unconventional approach to the familiar universe, we are left with a completely traditional Battle Royale. Now the Anarchs and the Camarilla are already openly tearing each other’s throats, the Masquerade is flying to hell, the Special Forces of the Department in combat exoskeletons take to the streets, the streets of Prague are covered in bloody fog, machine-gun fires rumble over the tiled roofs and spells sparkle … Yes, not for such a Vampire: Masquerade we are used to! A wave of Kindred rebellions against weak and decentralized power has swept across the planet. Naturally, the Camarilla, led by all its princes, princes and elders, was completely unable to protect ordinary vampires from the organized and close-knit hunters of the Office – a special unit of the Second Inquisition. In the world Bloodhunt troubled times came: people received evidence of the existence of the undead, revived the glorious tradition of witch hunting and took the bloodsucker seriously. The dubious honor of turning a leisurely RPG into an online TPS goes to a young but experienced team Sharkmob, collected, in particular, from the authors Hitman and The division… True, from the closed alpha test, the rich experience of the developers is not visible too much.

Now we have decided to tackle the main scourge of modern multiplayer: “royal battles”. However, there is tremendous potential hidden in urban fantasy with vampires, werewolves and wizards, so it should come as no surprise that bosses Paradox Interactive continue to seek the use of their intellectual property. The long-awaited Bloodlines 2 constantly carry over, and little things like Coteries of New York you can not take into account at all.

Except good Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption and immortal Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines and there is nothing special to remember.

It’s just that in the format of video games, things are somehow not very good for the “World of Darkness”. World of darkness – an excellent role-playing universe with a rich history.
