BloodLust 2: Nemesis

If you liked Shadow-Hunter I believe you'll also enjoy Nemesis. As in this is a decent vampire-centric-action-looter-rpg that plays out akin to a janky Diablo within the context of an urban fantasy setting. There's much to do about certain vampires trying to create a synthetic artificial blood compound that can boost their power-levels exponentially. Different fractions are now scurrying for their pieces of the pie after the untimely death of the local over-lord whilst you are yet another glorified errand runner in this world of B-movie darkness! Comparing the Bloodlust series to VTM: Blood-Lines is pointless. As in Blood-Lines had a lot more "role-playing" whereas Blood-Lust is more about braving dungeons crawling with indescribable horrors to bring back awesome gear. (Weapons,armor,trinkets,etc.) From there you engage in the occasional boss-fight with some of the most quirky 4th wall breaking bat-heads ever to grace the crimson screen! There's a lot of pop-cultural references that seem more "On the nose" compared to Shadow-Hunter. I'd say Nemesis takes itself less seriously and is a bit more comedic. However,many of the eccentric characters you interact with are still a likable…

BloodLust 2: Nemesis, developed and published by WRF Studios, is an ambitious indie action RPG that delves into the dark mythology of vampires while combining dungeon crawling, hack-and-slash combat, and character customization. It serves as both a continuation of and an expansion upon the ideas presented in the original BloodLust: Shadowhunter, striving to create an immersive supernatural world where vampiric clans, ancient bloodlines, and corrupted science intertwine. From the opening moments, the game immerses the player in a grim, gothic environment, awakening within a tomb as a resurrected vampire in search of identity and survival. The story introduces a world where blood is both a source of power and a curse, and the discovery of “Nemesis,” an artificial substitute for human blood, adds a twisted layer of lore that fuels the player’s journey through crumbling cities and labyrinthine dungeons. It’s a world steeped in mystery and decay, one that manages to evoke the gritty atmosphere of classic gothic horror while presenting a structure familiar to fans of action-oriented RPGs. The core gameplay combines traditional hack-and-slash mechanics with deep role-playing systems. Pla…

Great game, big recommend! Would love to see a Bloodlust 3 :)

Look, it's not a very polished or good-looking game, I can respect that, but I'm just not sure I see the vision. In the story, this "friend" tells me to talk to someone at some clan HQ, so I go there, go through the door, and all I find is a never-ending, procedurally-generated dungeon. Confusing to say the least. The combat was alright, and I think this could work, but the vampire fantasy is... what, there's random "victim" NPCs in some spots and you can feed from them, and that's it? Like, you can't just feed blood from an enemy, so you're still using weapons, equipping armour, and using healing potions, which are random drops. It's nothing you haven't seen before.

I had alot of fun with bloodlust 2 I think it was a great overall improvement from the first. I do wish I could find who sang the song in the werewolf club though. It was a really good song.

- So fun to play, rating 98/100
