Terrorize London in Vampyr, out now on Switch
If you’re still in the market for a new game this Halloween, you’ll be excited to learn that DONTNOD’s Action RPG Vampyr makes the jump to the Switch today. The narrative-driven game is set in an alternate reality version of London where a lethal version of Spanish flu has crippled the population. In the completely disorganized and ghostly city, the streets are the hunting grounds for vampires. You step into the shoes of dr. Jonathan Reid, a newly-turned vampire and are challenged with saving the dying city’s inhabitants while uncovering the truth behind vampirism.
The blood of London’s people is fuel for your new-found powers, which you’ll need to overcome supernatural enemies, but if you feed too freely, you’ll doom the city for eternity. Every victim whose life you take sends ripples through each of London’s districts. It’s up to you to decide who to sacrifice for the greater good. The game features a wide combat system that allows you to build your own combat style through crafted weapons and powerful Vampire abilities as well as a branching story with an outcome that is determined by the choices you make. It’s available on PS4, Xbox One, PC and, as of today, Nintendo Switch.
