VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE – BLOODHUNT

-

“For centuries we have lived in secrecy among you,” a gravelly voiceover tells us, “maintainin­g the Masquerade.” Well, that’s all over now. This free-to-play battle royale has 45 vampires leaping between the rooftops of Prague, launching fireballs and firing submachine guns. As much as we sometimes fear for humanity’s intelligen­ce, you have to imagine that wouldn’t go unnoticed.

Apparently not, though – civilians on the streets below will only suspect something is up if they spot your vampiric activity up close, triggering a debuff that penalises the Masquerade-breaking players. It might be worth the risk, though, as sinking your teeth into a neck restores health and gives you a permanent ability boost. This adds a touch of MOBA to a genre short on fresh blood, but the continued prevalence of guns seems like a waste of the setting.
