Revisiting RPG Classic – Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption


Vampire the masquerade is one of the most played pen-and-paper RPGs in the 90’s, similar to Dungeons and Dragons.

The software game has been released to PC 8 years ago, and it did not quite get anyone’s attention due to it’s flaws and other short comings. First thing’s first, the graphics… it is well executed, the environment details are well textured and very well rendered, the floors, doors, medieval wall etc etc… are all well created, it perfectly fits the whole gothic theme, and the characters are executed great as well. Players will be very pleased with it’s beautifully rendered graphics and smooth frame rates.

The Gameplay: oh please help me god, I just wish that Activision and Nihilistic focused more on the difficulty and controls of the game, this game is not that hard to play but very hard, especially on some parts on the game wherein you’ll have to take down an enemy boss which is very strong by the way and a bunch of sidekicks which are very hard to kill. Don’t even start me with the enemy units, they are insanely repetitive and frustrating at times because some of them are harder to kill than an enemy boss.


The Story: I think I’ll give the story about 6 out of 10 rating. Some of the characters that appear in the game are forgetful because they don’t give that much impact ( is it just me? You decide! ) I’m pretty sure that the only character that you’ll remember here is the main star of the story “Christof ……” holy crap I even forgot his surname! Lol

The Sounds: The sound fits the game! That’s all

Value: Because of the game license, the software has quite a collectible value thing for Software Game Collectors. This game is quite rare and very hard to find in any gaming stores out there (well, you can try out amazon.com maybe you can still find pre-owned copies of this game).

Buy the game if you want to have rare games for your collection, it’s not quite a good game but HEY! It’s Vampire the Masquerade!
