I haven’t played a battle royale with this kind of verticality before, and it served as a refreshing mix-up from the usual routine you fall into with these games.Īnother major feature is the ability to come back to life after dying once. Rather, you scale walls with ease and hop from rooftop to rooftop while trying to maintain a decent height (trust me, being on the ground for too long is an easy way to get killed from above, fast.) This altitude-focused slant on the gameplay makes for an enjoyable battle royale, as you can stealthily follow foes up walls or quickly escape to the roof when targeted. You cant plow through walls like in Fortnite, or drive around like a madman as you do in Warzone. Unlike many battle royales, Bloodhunt is surprisingly vertical. You may get a few bots in your early matches called cultists, but there are a good amount of real players in Bloodhunt as of the time of writing, especially if you have crossplay on. This is a good addition to the game, as you can customize your appearance and pick the class that best suits you after experimentation. There are multiple classes, each of which has its own special abilities, ranging from crazy jumps to handy gas traps. Playing alone will net you experience very, very slowly, so I recommend either finding friends or randoms that you can tolerate if you want to level up with any speed whatsoever. Like many battle royales, you can play alone or with others. MORE: Huntdown Is Much More Than a Nostalgia-Fueled Contra Homage It adds a bit of world-building to a battle royale when it didn’t need to, even if the way it’s presented feels very “Hot Topic.” Clearly, people who are invested in the Vampire: The Masquerade franchise will get more out of it than me, but even I found it to be a fun little distraction. The NPCs in the main hub give you lore about this vampire war in exchange for collecting items or performing feats in matches for them, which is a nice touch. There seems to be an ongoing narrative of sorts though Bloodhunt, which is mainly just to explain why a bunch of vampires in Prague are killing each other while red gas closes in. While no one can say whether or not this will happen to Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt, I can say that it’s surprisingly distinct – even if some of its differences need refinement. The idea of a new one coming along when games like Fornite and Call of Duty: Warzone practically dominate the space is hard to believe, especially after games like Z1 Battle Royale and Realm Royale have come and gone with little fanfare. Battle royales have been “the next big thing” for what feels like ages.
