Vampirem

Vampirem is a vampire dungeon crawler about Raven, an undead mage whose power depends on his bloodline. After a Shadowhunter destroys two of his three Sires, Raven is weakened and must hide from sunlight while seeking a way to regain his power or take revenge on the hunters.

The Council considers Raven a vulnerability and seals his tomb, then places a bounty on him and sends kindred assassins to kill him before the hunters can claim another victory. With two-thirds of his normal bloodline gone, Raven must fight his way out using weapons buried with the ancient dead and the skills, talents and disciplines known to a Vampirem.

Raven’s journey

You explore unique and procedurally created areas, uncover secrets and search for vantage points, health, blood stones and loot. Every playthrough differs. Raven can hide in the shadows, move or warp around the landscape, and avoid some encounters until he is ready to face them. He can also turn into mist and perform a Bloodstrike.

The story eventually ends, but Raven’s pursuit of power continues without a level cap. You can keep leveling and face increasingly difficult enemies as you move deeper into the Vampirem’s lair.

Combat and abilities

Raven builds and levels his skills and attributes, and uses empowering skills, talents and disciplines. Fully voiced characters feature in the game. You can use the environment against enemies by collapsing pillars, shooting down hanging barrels or detonating pots of garlic, and exploit enemy weaknesses to make the journey easier.

Weapons and loot

You find random loot with dynamic, unique stats and can empower ancient weapons using recipes crafted from fragmented hearts of fallen kindred. In your inventory, you arrange elemental stones to create synergies that provide passive weapon boosts; the arrangement affects the strength of those boosts.

Tombs and puzzles

Cryptic puzzles created by the ancients protect the tombs of the fallen. You can choose to unlock the tombs and gain the gifts of the dead, which give Raven an advantage against the hunters.
