Vampire Clans appears to be a gore-filled cousin to Fallout Shelter

More On: Vampire Clans

Vampire Clans, the new vampire strategy/sim game from RockGame S.A., challenges players to become the most powerful vampire clan in Paris. Building out an underground lair to extreme Fallout Shelter-levels of depth, players will construct an entire vampire utopia, complete with rooms constructed to suck the blood out of captive victims. Check out the trailer, and you'll get the idea:

Super gory, but kind of compelling. I got a particular kick out of the part where the trailer shows a vampire complete the "Kidnap a Virgin" quest. Not so many charming Edward Cullen vampires in this game - more the gutter dwelling blood-bather types.

Some features from a recent PR announcement:

  • Become the most powerful vampire lord and lead your clan to take over Paris underground. Expand your base, collect blood and kill anybody you want.
  • As a vampire, you have to enslave people and drain their blood to keep alive your clan. Build prison and go hunting, fresh blood is the most important thing for vampires.
  • Vampires are super fast. Use this advantage in smooth, slow motion fights. Use magic, alchemy, weapons and special abilities to beat your enemies. Conquer other clans and enlist their members ... or kill them, the choice is yours.
  • Train your vampires to create the best formation to fight against your enemies. Evolve from cave vampires to the most powerful vampire lords.

There is no release date yet for Vampire Clans (Steam only lists the release date as "when the night come"). We'll be sure to keep an eye on this one. It's too dark and weird not to watch out for.
