Feel What It Is To Be Immortal

Before your fall, you led a crusade against evil. Now you've become one of the undead creatures you once battled-a Vampire. Inhabiting the World of Darkness, you must face a series of brutal confrontations with your nemesis, Vukodlak, a powerful vampire lord. Your unholy showdown begins in medieval Europe and rages on into the modern day, as you track a soulless enemy in an eternal struggle to destroy him. For this is the only hope of vengeance for your tortured immortality.

Features:

Live as the Undead: As Christof, a vampire of the Brujah Clan, you must fight and feed on the blood of mortals, while hiding your vampiric powers and controlling the urges of the beast within you. Along the way, you are joined by other vampires who will fight by your side as you solve a series of quests surrounding a deep story. Powerful 3-D Engine: Your World of Darkness is created by the Nod Engine, developed by Nihilistic. Dramatic lighting, fog effects and gorgeous textures bring the medieval cities of Prague and Vienna to life, and twist the modern landscape of London and New York into a gothic nightmare. Innovative Multiplayer Design: Vampire: The Masquerade-Redemption will change the way computer RPGs are played online with its Storyteller mode, which allows one player to create and run an adventure of their own. Multiplayer features include co-op play, and the option to play as the hunter or the hunted.

Immortal RPG Appeal: Based on the popular tabletop role-playing game, the PC version of Vampire: The Masquerade offers fans of the series a true translation of their beloved story. Even gamers and RPG fans unfamiliar with the series will enjoy the incredible 3-D graphics, deep storyline and engrossing gameplay.

Reviews:

PC Gameworld by Brian Federici

"The game engine supports complete 3D environments and characters, along with dynamic lighting, advanced real-time shadowing, and an easy point and click gameplay system similar to Diablo. The character models and levels are incredible. This game is full of 3D cut-scenes, where character movement is crucial, and Vampire: Masquerade Redemption performs beautifully..."

"As for the levels, they are very well laid out and the architecture is outstanding. When first going through them, the levels seem large and cumbersome to navigate, but once you open some doors and defeat some foe, you can usually move from section to section in a semi-linear path. Each level has lots of items and a slew of enemies to keep your weapons busy -- make sure to use some strategy when being outnumbered... So, what else can I say about the levels? Oh yes! The game spans over 800 years, so you get to see architectural development through the time periods in the levels, which strongly aids in setting the realistic atmosphere of the game..."

"To summarize my experience playing Vampire, it puts me into a trance and no external distractions can bring me out of it. I highly recommend this game to action/RPG players, who enjoy Diablo-type games, because you'll love the familiarity of Diablo, as well as appreciate the enhancements in 3D graphics, the myriad of vampiric powers you can use, and the rich, engrossing story of the origin and evolution of vampires. Enjoy."
