Exceptional base-building game trapped inside mediocre action RPG. Clunky combat and lifeless NPCs can't ruin the addictive castle construction that will steal your life. Perfect for architecture obsessives who'd rather debate roof tiles than fight Inquisitors. Rough early access edges, but the core loop slaps hard enough to recommend. A great starting point, let's see where it gets by the end of EA.

Vampires: Bloodlord Rising is a charming (yet flawed) initial foundation of what is an extremely original concept in gaming, taking some of the best elements of the settlement sim genre and crafting an experience where there really is nothing similar on the market. The rough edges will no doubt improve over time, as aforementioned, this is a game in early-access. Definitely one to pick up if you love anything to do with vampires, or even to support what the game might eventually become, however in its current state, it’s lacking bite.
