About
Vampires: Bloodlord Rising is a dark, open-world action-adventure sandbox that seamlessly blends survival crafting, castle building, and RPG progression. Set in the gothic medieval land of Sangavia, players awaken as a weakened Vampire Lord, tasked with rebuilding a fallen empire by hunting for blood, commanding thralls, and fueling a central Castle Core to expand their influence against the relentless Inquisition.
Story
You play as Dragos, a vampire survivor torn between insatiable bloodlust and a vow to protect your people. The narrative unfolds through the twisted history of Sangavia, where your choices between tyranny and benevolence lead to multiple distinct endings. As you unravel the region's secrets, you must navigate a world of political intrigue and gothic horror, deciding the fate of the realm through cinematic choices.
Gameplay
Experience a true power fantasy with movement mechanics that ignore stamina limitations, allowing for supernatural sprints and jumps. The core loop revolves around blood management—feeding on humans and beasts to survive and power your Castle Core—while engaging in skill-based combat and extensive base building. Shapeshift into a bat to explore the skies or mist to evade enemies, all while managing a loyal workforce of thralls in solo or 4-player co-op.
