![]() Your created character is special due to the fact they're not confined to a single Blood Code like everyone else is. You see, each Revenant in Code Vein has a class known as a Blood Code. In stereotypical protagonist fashion, you begin the game by waking up with amnesia before finding out you're the chosen one. That's the basic plot, anyway, but it doesn't take long to deviate into other areas and introduce world-ending stakes. The problem is, Blood Beads are becoming increasingly scarce, so you have to find the source and hopefully attain a steady supply. Blood Beads grow on plants throughout the world and function as suitable substitutes for human blood, nourishing a Revenant's bloodlust in much the same way. ![]() Fortunately, Revenants don't have to feed on the last remaining humans to survive. If a Revenant goes for too long without satisfying its thirst for blood, however, they lose their humanity and transform into grotesque creatures known as the Lost. ![]() There's no neck biting, disintegrating in sunlight, or anything else you would usually associate with traditional vampires here. The only price they have to pay for reincarnation is an insatiable thirst for blood. Yet it's the parts that are most recognisable, such as its combat, where Code Vein stumbles.Īfter an apocalyptic cataclysm ravages the world, those who died are brought back to life as immortal beings called Revenants. Interesting concepts and mechanics filter out from this central blood-soaked idea, resulting in a game that feels familiar yet wildly different from its inspiration. It may latch onto a Dark Souls formula that has come to define a generation of action-RPGs, but Bandai Namco's latest manages to set itself apart from the rest by presenting a post-apocalyptic world filled with what are essentially anime vampires. Code Vein establishes its own identity from the outset.
