About Vampire Hunter: Nightrise

Vampire Hunter: Nightrise is a story about a hunter confronting pride, doubt, and the limits of his own belief.Faith is not narrative flavor — it is a core gameplay system. It functions as a finite, dynamic resource that influences combat, exploration, and survival. As conviction weakens, the castle’s influence grows stronger.  You'll have to manage faith as carefully as ammunition.The vampire’s castle looms on the horizon — a place where many hunters have entered... and none have returned. You step inside, armed and confident… but the gates slam shut behind you.The castle is no ordinary fortress. Its halls shift and loop into each other, riddled with traps and secret passageways designed to keep intruders wandering until the vampire awakens — and when he does, you’re finished.Your only chance is to master the labyrinth itself. Fight off the castle’s twisted minions in tense FPS combat, uncover the hidden mechanics of its passageways, and carve a path to the vampire’s chamber before Nightrise.Werewolves. Skeletons. And things with names best left unspoken. The castle crawls with the Vampire’s minions — and you only brought so many stakes.
  • Smash wooden furniture to craft more ammunition.
  • Line up your shots with the stake launcher to pierce multiple enemies — or pin them to walls.
  • Fire through flame to ignite your stakes and burn your foes alive.
The castle was built as a maze — a sanctuary for its master, and a tomb for intruders. Fireplaces rotate, bookcases shift, portraits conceal hidden corridors, and staircases reshape themselves. Every passage leads deeper into its design, every door a new deception.

You’re not the first to try. The corpses of failed hunters litter the halls, their notes whispering secrets about passageways, traps, and things better left forgotten. Can you learn from their mistakes — and survive long enough to face what sleeps beneath?The sun is setting. Every corridor you clear brings you closer to the heart of the nightmare. When Nightrise comes, it will all be over — One way or another.

A fun little indie title that takes inspiration from old vampire fiction and castlevania. Well worth the time for the price excited to see if these guys do more games in the future. Achievements required multiple play throughs and the maps and secrets are well thoughout. A solid 7/10

Good story game to just relax to and figure out the puzzles. Final boss can be a pain, as everything in this game is a puzzle. It feel a little lacking though, like they rushed it. Parts of the story seemed quickly done and not much difference when playing it a second time to see if the ending changes. Overall, not bad, but I do hope they do a dlc or have a way to expand the castle more!

really good take on Wrath of Malachi. could be a little more oppressive with more enemy variety and more messing with the player. more weapons too?

I played through and beat the game in my first sitting. It was great, loved the world, loved the vibe, loved the gameplay, loved the music. Only took about 3 hours - but I'll be playing through it again to get... the rest of the things I missed. Hope to see more from this team!

as a collector of unique video games i must say that this one has actually caught me by surprise by how its portrayed and played. the sheer design of this vastle is both Esoterically Beautiful shrouded in mystic and occultically fascinating. more then once has the enemies startled me because i was keeping every shadow at bay by the light of god. however in this castle...this tiny light from this cross is nothing but mere Candle light for what is really within this Castle. I have traveled through inverted chapels a gigantic Atrium and looked through every bookcase of the heretical Archives and library for secrets that tell the story and what i have to say is this. This is honestly a very beautiful take on Castlevania and Tunic if there is anything i respect more when it comes to Vampires, its there Vast collection of knowledge. Monster designs are fascinating Spirits, Werewolves, Living Armor, Skeletons, Lesser Vampires there is no loud musical cue or constant chase where you hear the beasts approach. They lunge at you wether you like it or not or are prepared for it. you second guess the darkness and the blinding light of corruption that hides the monsters. The Arcitecture and M…
