Vampire Hunter: Nightrise

Very cool little indie game with tons of creepy and evil atmosphere. Has something like a King's Field meets Castlevania vibe. The game can be finished in 4 to 5 hours, and focuses on exploration and puzzle solving. Combat is simple but effective. You need to conserve ammo and make shots count while also shooting to solve puzzles. The faith mechanic is cool . At only 5 hours, this game may be a little short for some, but I'd recommend anytime it's on sale and you want a cool little experience you can finish quickly.

Very interesting game and concept. A lot of the gameplay seems basic, but at the same time its different. Its just interesting.

This game is soooooo much fun!!!! I really hope they make dlc for it. It was definetly challenging and i am working on my second playthrough.

This is a pretty easy recommend for a simple, yet effective game. You only need to move, shoot, and use an occasional ability (though abilities aren't even needed), but there are a lot of secrets and puzzles to discover throughout the castle. I will also say that it's refreshing to see a piece of media that not only acknowledges the powers of hell, but also acknowledges the power of Christ. Many pieces of media like to portray biblical demons and Satan without also acknowledging Christ, yet this game acknowledges both. You can progress the story and unlock book entries that give you hints to certain puzzles, but it's also possible to figure these puzzles out on your own by thinking through things. I was even able to complete a puzzle intended to be one of the last things you do in the game just by messing around and checking the environment around me. I personally would've liked to have seen more unique puzzles rather than re-using puzzles, such as [spoiler] shooting the door at the opposite end of the hallway for the hallways that loop back in on themselves [/spoiler] or [spoiler] the multiple uses of the black flame burning a painting away [/spoiler]. Given how the game is only …

A wonderful puzzle game where knowledge is power. I beat it on my first attempt in about 4 hours with 100% completion and with multiple endings it is well worth its asking price.

great game. awesome dev, check out his youtube really interesting stuff. i get the tunic inspiration but the game is pretty unique. its an fps, kinda horror, kinda some r.e., kinda some metroidvania. but because the game keeps its ambition in check, it works really well. took about 4.5 hours to beat but already excited for my second playthrough. this devs games are true gems...nostalgia, and the fall series are equally worth checking out. 8.25 out of 10
