Vampires: Bloodlord Rising

This game has great potential, and I am leaving a positive review, even though I will list a number of issues and feedback. I will also leave my feedback in the form in-game in case steam reviews don't get considered/viewed by the team. I really appreciate the setting, the character creator, the voice acting for quests, and that we can manually build things instead of only having presets. Great start!!! I first played Coop with my friend hosting, and unfortunately, the building and general coop is very buggy. Me and my other friend who were joining the host had such a hard time building, whenever we would destroy something, we could not build something new in the same place, I could not place roofs, things like that. Servants would complain they have no coffin while assigned to one, and other bugs. In singleplayer, things are better, but I still had issues such as being unable to place flat roofs over pillars for example. I feel like the building system needs a lot of polishing, because right now, it's a quite a pain to use. For example, it would be great if we could zoom out in order to get a feel of where we are placing things. Building also highlights a huge issue for me, in that you need to have the materials actively in your inventory if you wish to build something. We should be able to automatically build with materials that are in the chests in the base. Having to have all the materials actively on us is a big pain point. I do appreciate that you can make your servants build for you, but I would rather be able to see the finished thing right away if I can. Also, the diagrams you can place down, while I appreciate them visually, they are also hard to see and not very clear which part is the front, etc. I would love to really go crazy with building a castle, but right now, the difficulties hold me back. Combat is cool, but the parry and the finisher are hit or miss. I honestly don't know which button it wants me to press when it says to do a finisher because I remapped my parry button, I just press all my mouse buttons and sometimes it works. Could we get a remap for the finisher button? Also, since we fight with our nails, I'd love it if we actually had vampire nails, it would be a cool detail. Even better if we get to choose a nail color! Speaking of cosmetics, please let me hide my hunter hood so I can see my character's hair, plsplspls. World Settings could fix a number of issues, such as blood drainage speed, materials needed for building, maybe creative mode, easier combat, etc. Blood drains really fast every night, having to drain so many deer, etc every night feels a bit excessive. You would not eat 10 bread loafs per day as a human, would you? I would also love more customization for our servants. Maybe being able to change their appearance? Choose a favorite servant to promote? Something akin to getting married in Medieval Dynasty for example. It would also be good if we were able to equip servants without having to interact with them, as sometimes they seem to disappear somewhere we cannot go even when putting a marker on them. These are the things I have written down so far. I have just unlocked the third area. I do not know how much content there is, but so far, I do appreciate what is here. Thank you and keep up the good work!

macht einen guten Eindruck

🖤

overall great game but still has a lot of bugs from the demo i get a bug where i sprint and its like im a turtle and when i try to hit someone in melee combat i go flying across the map all this is in co-op btw.

great game i love building the castle

This is great fun. You feel like your charachter is a Vampire, never really feeling weak or at an impass with anything. I know the game is still in early access, yet I can see the vision and am looking forward to everything that comes next. Graphics and gameplay are solid, with only a few glitches here and there. The voice acting is fantastic, though the number of unique npcs is small at this time. Soundtrack is simple but does the job, its very clear and fits the situations going on in game. All in all, it's great so far

Good game for what it is. Few flaws, not glaring. Building system works well, a little annoying on slanted props though. Main things. Lore accuracy makes me smile. Not quite a fan of some elements, though they are mostly accurate as well. The biggest problem w/ the game is a simple one. Pathing. They'll work on it I'm sure, but I have to design things around servants that get locked into corners outside. Smallest problems, clipping into objects and broken fight finishers. Best parts of the game? Village interaction and combat.. They both feel like they'll go far. I wish that you could directly mark people who you hear about rather than opening the big menu.
