Buy Prince Nikolai and the Vampires PC key

Prince Nikolai and the Vampires is a turn-based strategy RPG in which Prince Nikolai, a powerful priest who wields the powers of the sun and moon, gathers a diverse army to protect his kingdom from the vampire lord Zarius. Along the way, you meet allies and enemies, manage your units and their inventories, and buy goods and weapons.

Story and characters

Nikolai hunts the vampire responsible for the deaths of many innocent girls. Though he is a priest with healing skills, he can also deal immense damage to enemies. His allies include Tristana, known as the world’s most powerful witch, whom Nikolai sees as a key force in the fight against the vampires.

Undertow is an unusual vampire who commands darkness and can drain his victims’ blood. As a master of twilight, he can also transform himself and his allies into relentless, bloodthirsty creatures for powerful assaults.

Tactical battles

The game has 23 battles that increase in complexity and difficulty, with 11 playable characters, each with different strengths and weaknesses. You move a character across the battle map, then choose an action such as attacking, using magic or a skill, or waiting. Some abilities can target multiple enemies, so positioning their area of effect matters; allies caught in the area are not harmed.

Each side takes a turn after all its characters have acted. Battles generally end when one side defeats all its enemies, defeats the boss or reaches a designated position. Attacks from behind deal 30% extra damage, while attacks from the side deal 10% extra damage; these bonuses also apply to enemy attacks. Damage is estimated before an action, neither allies nor enemies can land critical hits, and only a few selected enemies can evade, keeping combat focused on tactical decisions.

Terrain affects movement, with three levels of terrain mastery: moving through difficult terrain, flying low and/or crossing water, and flying above everything. Spells and skills can also affect movement, and movement-altering spells generally cancel one another. Some abilities, including Undertow’s Twilight Assault, do not use up a turn, allowing the character to act again.

Skills and progression

Skills and spells can improve to Level 2 and Level 3 through use. You choose which skills to develop, creating different combinations and strategies. The main quest takes about 20 hours, and the game includes New Game+ for another challenge: all characters are available from the start, enemies deal more damage, and finishing battles quickly grants a larger experience boost.
