About BloodLust Shadowhunter
BloodLust is a present-day Dungeon Crawler where players will journey into the depths of darkness searching for a great evil, while struggling to decide whether to destroy or embrace their Kindred family.
The last member in a coven of "ShadowHunters" find themselves resurrected into a lost city terrorized by the all-powerful "Emperor" Ranior, a monstrous vampire lord.
Haunted by visions of darkness and tormented by their ghosts from the past, the hunters struggle daily, though they always continue to move forward.
With each victory they grow stronger, increasing bloodline and skills in the "Dark Arts", but all at the cost of their humanity. With each new bloodline, they find themselves turning more into the vampiric monsters they were resurrected to destroy.
In the end, their great power will be challenged only by themselves, as they will have to face the source of their own immortality and decide whether to embrace the darkness or destroy it... What Would You Choose?
-----------------------
Bloodlust is a huge "Dungeon Crawler" style game where your character (a Warrior, Thief, or Witch) will explore extremely deep dungeons, passages, asylum basements, tunnels, sewers, and caves in search of secrets, traps, and rare loot, all while battling various enemies and creatures in order to uncover the truth behind a dark society.

Key Features
-----------------------
- Bite and Sire Others to Join Your Family
Create a family where each member can help you gain experience, find loot, or sire others. Communicate and control with your members telepathically to use their growing strengths along with your disciplines to achieve victory amongst the Kindred rivals. - Procedurally Generated Areas
Explore and 'crawl' through vast dynamic dungeons, caves, passages and sewers with multiple floors delving deeper into darkness while searching for ever increasing valued loot, treasures and powerful weapons. - Grow Your Bloodline
Using talents, disciplines and attributes, you decide how to grow your character from a weak fledgling into a powerful Vampire, capable of leading an entire faction of Vampires. - Vampire Disciplines
Join rival clans to earn reputation while learning each group's unique skill set. The choice is entirely yours to either stay loyal or backstab, bluff, and lie while creating chaos from inside the clan's political hierarchy. - Non-Linear Story and Gameplay
Hidden from light, this Dark City is yours to uncover and explore however you desire. Hide in the shadows, while traveling underground or interact with factions directly under their noses using the art of the embrace, seduction and persuasion to mask where your true loyalty lies. Your decisions can affect dialog choices or avoid quest outcomes entirely. - Dynamic Loot From the Fallen Kindred
With a bloodline that dates back over 3000 years it is not inconceivable that a few valuable items, from the fallen kindred, may have been lost along the way. Buried deep below in the Dark City's ancient past, lies thousands of randomly generated weapons, loot, and equipment. A bounty for the few souls brave enough to seek it out.

✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's immersive atmosphere, strong music, and addictive exploration-focused RPG gameplay that blends Vampire: The Masquerade with dungeon crawling mechanics. However, they note significant issues including janky combat, technical glitches, obtuse puzzle design that often requires external help, and uninteresting loot systems that only show cosmetic items on characters. Despite these flaws, many find the game charming and engaging enough to overlook its rough edges and single-developer limitations.
So far, it plays like if Vampire the masquerade bloodlines focused more on RPG systems, exploration, and dungeons instead of dialogue heavy narrative. The story so far is good enough to immerse you in. The only thing I really don't like is the warning when you get in a higher level than your current one, it always breaks my immersion. Overall, it’s a great game with some janky combat, but the music and atmosphere are top notch. There are some glitches but it's one of those game that you'll get addicted to no matter how many glitches you got.5 found this helpful
BloodLust: Shadowhunter, developed and published by WRF Studios, is a dark, atmospheric action RPG that blends dungeon crawling, exploration, and vampire mythology into an ambitious, deeply layered indie experience. It’s the kind of game that clearly aims higher than its modest production values would suggest, seeking to immerse players in a world of bloodlines, clans, and supernatural politics. The premise is immediately intriguing—you awaken as one of the last ShadowHunters, a resurrected being thrust into a decaying world where vampire clans wage an endless struggle for dominance. From the moment the game begins, it establishes an eerie tone, immersing you in a labyrinthine underworld filled with danger, mystery, and moral ambiguity. Beneath its rough edges lies a game that’s surprisingly intricate, rich with systems and secrets that reward patience and curiosity. At its core, BloodLust: Shadowhunter is an exploration-driven RPG that combines hack-and-slash combat with a strong focus on progression and discovery. The game alternates between navigating the surface world—where you interact with factions, NPCs, and quests—and descending into randomly generated dungeon layers that …1 found this helpful
[h1]Game's Got Grit[/h1] Awesome vampire RPG that scratches the Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines (VTMB) itch like no other. If you don't mind replaying VTMB, this game is for you. The fun comes from the character building, the NPCs you meet and interact with, and the storyline—not its graphics or gameplay. It also has great replayability thanks to the faction mechanics and the way your choices influence the story. The dungeons can be repetitive and occasionally feel like a slog, but you're not forced to do them, and there are plenty of other quests to keep you busy. The combat and graphics is serviceable, but the real strength of the game is its role-playing, characters, and branching story.
So far so good considering its a 2015 release
Very good! Played it first like 10 years ago. Still a charming game. Kinda scary, kinda funny, love it 😆 A guilty pleasure.
Pretty decent
