About Vampires: Guide Them to Safety!
For centuries they have terrorized humankind but now they need your help! Don’t worry, though. They don’t glitter!
Do YOU think you have what it takes to bring them home?
“If Tim Burton made a PC strategy game, this would be it. Vampires is a great addictive title from CBE Software, the guys who brought you Ghost in the Sheet and J.U.L.I.A.”
True PC Gaming
Vampires: Guide Them to Safety! is an offbeat action puzzle game, filled with vampires, traps, crazy Transylvanian music and fun.
In short, it’s a comedy puzzler where non-glittering bobbleheaded ignorants meet reversed tower defense. Vampires! are a genre mix where strategy, puzzle and action meet fun and frustration. The goal of the game is to guide those bobbleheads through labyrinth and into their crypts while avoiding obstacles, traps and vampire hunters on the way.
It’s almost dawn and vampires are returning into their coffins for a well-deserved sleep after a long night. Time is ticking until the dawn and they’ve discovered that a bunch of vampire slayers got there first and set up traps! Now it’s up to you to use your supernatural powers of tile rotation, garlic-based repellent and spider net slow-down, to help them overcome all obstacles and reach their regular daily rest.
How does the game play?
Your main objective is to save vampires by leading them safely through the labyrinth and into their crypts. To do so, you can rotate the labyrinth parts to create new paths or use garlic-based repellent and spider-net slowdown to prevent vampires from walking into peril. Many traps are indeed lurking for the poor vampires. Starting with simple ones like pure light, things get more complicated down the road. Mobile wooden stakes, silver gun bullets, hired assassins or crazy garlic sappers wait impatiently to vaporize your vampires once for all.
Do you think you’ve mastered the game already? Wait! There’s more. Each non-tutorial level can be completed with additional objectives to earn silver or even gold status. And rest assured that the gold status will not be easy.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the game's Lemmings-like puzzle concept and vampire theme, but most find it frustratingly demanding due to its requirement for simultaneous multitasking and precise coordination across many moving pieces. The controls feel overly sensitive and poorly accommodated for different playstyles, leading to repetitive failures and tedious brute-force solutions rather than satisfying puzzle-solving, ultimately making it more stressful than enjoyable for casual players.
One of these games you buy randomly because of the interesting thematic and then you let it sit in your library for years. Then, one day, you download it and play it and find it... interesting. And that's that. I mean, you could say I'm not much of a puzzle game player, but once in a while I like to dwelve into these and do a few levels here and there with hope of finishing it one day. What I did find with this one, is it requires a lot of coordination as there's many moving pieces.9 found this helpful
Aargh! I can't do it. I WON'T do it. You win, you can have a recommend - after all it's a modern Lemmings and Lemmings rocks! Buy this because it's a modern Lemmings! UNLESS you can't rub your tummy and pat your head at the same time, or play drums, or watch something like John Cleese's Clockwise or Brassic without having an anxiety attack. If this is you then beware, this game makes you do more things at the same time than you want to and will make you wring your hands at the idea of how much the next level will ask of you at the same time. In all seriousness, this game is a really well made puzzle game. Great for brain training and fast thinkers, people who can do logic and speed at the same time and enjoy it. The vampire concept is cool throughout with suitable (if slightly contrived) visuals and sound and although it's structured like a mobile game, it's well thought through and rewarding for as far as you can stand the angst. I bet some will absolutely love this, but some others may well have fever dreams about the thought of being made to ever try to take on the next level It's a very fair price to give it a go to find out!3 found this helpful
Tags: Casual - Lemmings & Snake Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Tedious puzzler that devolves into a frenzied clicking fest to rotate tiles pipeline-style to object-route chars away from insta-death pits with randomized pathfind. The engine itself feels like unity engine mobileport. You get your usual win conditions that are timed and stressful. There are no keyboard shortcuts to choose the direction of spinning, the spinned tiles do not actually animate and just swap to a the new position, making it snappy but also a tad disorienting. It is easy to simply spam play and start cliking frenzily until you inevitably fall into insta-death pits. Then quickly relaunch and use short term memory to brute-force through. The game does not accomodate this playstyle well with buggy game over message that pops up before your vampire actually dies and without supplying a instant replay button until he actually does. Conclusion: While there are a fair bit of levels, I can only assume the difficulty, and thus, tediousness increases as more pathfind types increase. Having to keep track that blue select boxes around vampires cause them to turn right and red tur…3 found this helpful
Vampires: Guide Them to Safety! has decent enough graphics and some interesting gameplay mechanics. The game seems ultra sensitive to clicks, causing you to over move. I tried a different mouse, to no avail. The game became more frustrating than fun, so I'm done and won't be finishing it. Not recommended.2 found this helpful
