    The game creators chose for fixed camera angles to hide certain secrets a bit. As you walk past certain areas you might just see the secret items. Because of the automatic fixed angles, I can play without to keep turning the camera myself and can focus on the battle. In certain maps they could have changed the angles a bit, like in the city. Then you walk towards the player but the camera is still looking in the opposite way your game character is walking. Because of the camera choice, it plays more like an arcade game. Not to many controls and let you focus on the action.

    Aiming weapons
    I had to find out how to aim. By turning the mouse around the player, you aim. The game has some auto aim, that is handy for the enemies that are far away. Althought it does not always work well. The aiming angle and actual shooting direction is sometimes off by some degrees. But that is not very bad. It's ok, if you know it. The game does not require you to do head shots accurately. So that is fine.

    Weapon diversity
    The two weapon types are crossbows and swords. The player can control the girl or the man. You can swap character in the middle of the fight. Some areas require arrows to solve the puzzles. Other areas require swordfight to overcome the hordes of enemies. You need to use both characters.

    Character abilities
    They both have special abilities like fire arrow, suck blood to heal, jump and crash down attack (male) and hits all enemies around, etc

    Fights
    They require some tactics, but is more arcade.

    Armour and weapons loot
    Both characters will find items from chests (some hidden). The items will change the apearance of the female or male character. Flaming/ electricity swords and bows.

    Bug found that is not so nice.
    If you have multiple monitor, it's possible that it will minimize the game, because you pressed the mouse outside the game window.

    Overall:
    It's enjoying t play. And has replay value. It has 3 endings: Pro vampire, neutral and pro human.    … Expand

    Yes, the game has its flaws. But if you like vampire games you will enjoy this one too. The characters are likable, the story is cool and the music adds to the atmosphere. The controls take some getting used to, but in the end aren't bad. This game reminded me of Vampire Redemption and I'd like to see more. One thing I wasn't happy about is that the game only has co-op, not multiplayer, soYes, the game has its flaws. But if you like vampire games you will enjoy this one too.

    Somehow I always like the games played from Kalypso.
    They are such a studio that the games are never perfect, but always manage to get the most of fun from it.
    This game is one of such. Quite a mid length campaign, not so long to make it repetitive, not so short to make leave you without taste. I liked both characters a lot, specially the vampire girl, just awesome. Story is OK, but    Somehow I always like the games played from Kalypso.

    This game is simple, combat system is not so complex and weapon and armor system also symple.

    Overall I would give this game a 7.8/10.

    Recomended for RPG lovers.    … Expand

    The game is nothing special but it's far from bad. It looks good, has a couple of mechanics and the most important thing is that it does what it does pretty good and without bugs or other flaws for the most part.

    Blood Knights is the kind of game that excels at being annoying rather than entertaining.

    Unfortunately for Blood Knights, taking established systems and watering them down just leaves you with a diluted mix that tastes nothing like what it's trying to imitate.

    There are plenty of good hack’n’slash games out there, many involving vampires, and this isn’t one of them.
