With Bloodhunt, an unusual battle royale has been released on Steam at the end of April. You take on the roles of vampires and hunt other vampires. But how is the game being received? We summarize the reviews from the past few days.
What is Bloodhunt? This is a multiplayer spin-off of Vampire: The Masquerade. Bloodhunt is a free-to-play battle royale where you play as a vampire and must fight for survival against other vampires on the streets of Prague.
- Here you have various abilities available and can move very quickly thanks to the third-person perspective and parkour feature.
- During combat, you can even drink the blood of civilians as long as no one notices you.
- The announcement was not well received by fans as they were actually waiting for Bloodlines 2, a full-fledged story RPG, and did not want a multiplayer game.
- As it is a free game, there is also a corresponding battle pass with cosmetics and XP boosters.
Nevertheless, the game made its way to Steam, having been playable in early access from September to November 2021, and managed to gain some fans. The game has now been released on Steam since April 27. We show you how it is currently being received.
