Vampires is a puzzle game produced by an independent development studio CBE Software. The player plays the role of the guardian of the title bloodsuckers, in which the ruthless vampire hunters have set various traps. The game consists in safe delivery of wraiths to crypts by manipulating elements of the environment and using special powers.
For centuries they have terrorized humankind but now they need your help!
Vampires! is an offbeat action puzzle game, filled with vampires, traps, crazy Transylvanian music and fun.
In short, it’s a comedy puzzler where non-glittering drunken bobbleheaded ignorants meet reversed tower defense. Vampires! are a genre mix where strategy, puzzle and action meet fun. The goal of the game is to guide those bobbleheaded vampires through the labyrinth and into their crypts while avoiding obstacles, traps and vampire hunters on the way.
It’s almost dawn and vampires are returning into their coffins for a well-deserved sleep after a long night. Time is ticking until the dawn and they’ve discovered that a bunch of vampire slayers got there first and set up traps! Now it’s up to you to use your supernatural powers of tile rotation, garlic-based repellent and spider net slow-down, to help them overcome all obstacles and reach their regular daily rest.
How does the game play?
Your main objective is to save vampires by leading them safely through the labyrinth and into their crypts. To do so, you can rotate the labyrinth parts to create new paths or use garlic-based repellent and spider-net slowdown to prevent vampires from walking into peril. Many traps are indeed lurking for the poor vampires. Starting with simple ones like pure light, things get more complicated down the road. Mobile wooden stakes, silver gun bullets, hired assassins or crazy garlic sappers wait impatiently to vaporize your vampires once for all.
Do you think you’ve mastered the game already? Wait! There’s more. Each non-tutorial level can be completed with additional objectives to earn silver or even gold status. And rest assured that the gold status will not be easy.
