Anime is real
Between the large inscrutable monsters and the ruined post-apocalyptic landscape, Bandai Namco’sCode Veinreminds me of the firstNier(post-apocalyptic world populated by people who are involved with some kind of crazy “keep humanity alive” scheme) but with evenmoreanime – an impression solidified by the game’s appearance at Microsoft’s E3 2017 conference.
According to theinitial reveal trailer, the game will follow a bunch of vampires in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity’s, uh, humanity has been shed in order to survive whatever sort of end has brought civilization to its knees. There’s also a bunch of feral vampires who have succumbed to their desire for blood, which soundsreal familiar.
There’s some new gameplay footage in this E3 trailer, which makes the game look like a slightly more involved hack-and-slasher.
