A great addition to future patches would be the addition of other Clans and archetypes, but with so many Clans to choose from in World of Darkness and balancing to be considered, it’s unlikely too many more will ever be added, if any. Toreador archetypes are best for team players, with Siren and Muse options. Stealthy players will enjoy the Nosferatu archetypes: Saboteur and Prowler. Players enticed by melee will likely gravitate towards Brujah, with the Brute and Vandal archetypes. Each Clan shares an ability in common, but each archetype has its own secondary ability. Sharkmob offers three Clans for players to choose from, each with two archetypes. A bit too loud and not a sound that bodes well for repeated use, the death notification sound could certainly benefit from a revamp in future updates. The opening cinematic music doesn’t quite fit with the World of Darkness vibe, but more notable are the death notifications in-game.

Most music and sound effects fall out of notice, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. That said, the environment of both Elysium (the lobby you’ll return to between matches) and Prague look and feel great, and invite you into the world. However, the current static-y feel of the ability feels more like an impediment than a boon and is more distracting than a battle royale has any right to have. The Heightened Senses ability (which is available to all vampires) acts to highlight weapon caches around you. Even the opening cinematic feels rather dead, with the models too stiff to feel like the exciting, bloody battles they should be. Players may heal themselves and boost their abilities by drinking the blood of wandering mortals but must be careful not to reveal their vampiric nature in front of mortals either, lest they become bloodhunted, which will mark them on the map for everyone else.īloodhunt’s graphics leave a lot to be desired. Three vampire clans are available to play: Brujah, Nosferatu, and Toreador. In typical battle royale fashion, the play area periodically shrinks in size, while players use weapons and vampiric abilities to eliminate opponents. Playing as vampires from the World of Darkness universe, gamers will play in teams of three or solo, trapped within the confines of Prague. It’s currently available to play on PC and will see a PS5 launch soon. Developed and published by Sharkmob AB, Bloodhunt came out in early access on September 7th, 2021. Vampire: the Masquerade originated as a tabletop role play game, but has seen some notable success in its first Bloodlines game, among others. Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodhunt is a free-to-play battle royale set in the World of Darkness universe. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt - A Battle Royale With Bite
