BloodLust Shadowhunter

Honestly enjoying this game. It's just complicated enough it took me several days to figure out how to get in the hidden room and acquire that elusive ruby...but it's not too horibly difficult. Yes a lot of quests, yes a lot of going back and forth, and yes you level fairly slow, only getting 5 pts. for attributes, and a measly 1 for talent, and all you can do is sire a measly TWO minions until you get at least 10 points in Bite....and good luck with that as you REALLY need to up your vampire sight and the detection one so you can find and/or open hidden doors.
That being said, I'm really enjoying it, and the sale was a great time to buy it. Looking forward to a couple more by this developer next!

very nice game it has nice progression with skills and toolbar, great for it's time, I enjoyed it alot

I'm a huge fan of anything vampire related, so naturally I wanted to give this game a go when I saw it. I actually played its sequel first, Bloodlust Nemesis, but found this one to be my favorite of the two (then again, I don't really play a lot of dungeon crawlers, so maybe take my word with a grain of salt). Everyone and their brother has compared this thing to VTMB, but yeah, if you're looking for another vampire game set in a gothic dingy city then give it a shot. The mechanics take some getting used to though, and there's definitely has a fair bit of jank that can get pretty annoying. But if you can get past that stuff overall I'd say it's pretty enjoyable so far.

So far, it plays like if Vampire the masquerade bloodlines focused more on RPG systems, exploration, and dungeons instead of dialogue heavy narrative.
The story so far is good enough to immerse you in. The only thing I really don't like is the warning when you get in a higher level than your current one, it always breaks my immersion.
Overall, it’s a great game with some janky combat, but the music and atmosphere are top notch. There are some glitches but it's one of those game that you'll get addicted to no matter how many glitches you got.

Review from one of the 2.7% of players who completed the main story.

This is a flawed experience that's for sure, but the game does have a charm to it. I've seen a few reviews compare the game to Diablo. I would say it's closer to Hellgate London.

I did have to use the Steam discussions a few times for help with locating certain items and locations.
As the game does not hold you, that's a good thing and bad; for example, in one area, you need to use your "orb form" and fly through a fan vent to open a locked door. I needed to look for help on the forums for that puzzle. As I thought, the fan was just background.

The loot is uninteresting and only hats, glasses and priecings show up on your character. I understand this was made by one person, but that would help massively for making the loot enjoyable in a future game.
I made a crossbow user and only picked up two crossbows in my whole playthrough.

With all that being said, I will recommend this game.

It tried to do something different with the setting, not just sci-fi or medieval. Level design and puzzles were difficult (good/bad). Made by a solo dev/indie.

I did pick up both games on sale, so hopefully most of the issues I had have been fixed in the second game. And with a very low percentage of players finishing the game (2.7%), I am happy with my purchase and the weekend of gaming it gave me.

Pretty decent
