12 Best PlayStation 4 Vampire Games

Their dazzling look lures us into thinking that these creatures are innocent, but beneath that pale face lies a terror—a danger to anyone with a pulse. They live in the shadows, sneaking behind their prey, devouring every bit of life from it.

Quite like the immortal vampires, games based on the bloodsuckers have been around for a very long time. From the bygone era of the NES to the recent generation of consoles. Yet, despite the fact of their long-time existence, their games are a rare commodity in the industry. Like vampires themselves, the games are hidden in the dark. You’ve got to walk through the shadows to find them.

We have bundled together a few vampire games we deem worthy of mention on the list. Read on to discover the best vampire games the PlayStation 4 has to offer.

Vampyr marks one of the biggest returns to the vampire realm. Brought to you by the same developers behind incredible story-driven titles like Life is Strange, Vampyr is an interesting take on vampire lore.

Set in the city of London during the Influenza epidemic, players are put in the shoes of a vampiric doctor, Jonathan Reid that has to come to terms with his inhuman powers. Players are free to do as they please: either use their powers for the greater good and save people’s lives or run rampant across the streets, sucking the life out of any innocent soul their eyes stumble upon.

Vampyr’s beat ”em-up gameplay could’ve used some improvements, but the rich story, gothic atmosphere and the overall cool powers players obtain throughout their playthrough are more than enough to make Vampyr a recommended game.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a nostalgic trek back to the legendary Metroidvania era, with a gameplay style in the vein of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Acting as a spiritual successor to SOTN, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is the latest game to come from the mind of Koji Igarashi — one of the founding members of the Metroidvania genre.

Laden with beautiful sceneries, a well-made gothic castle to explore and an engrossing gameplay experience, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is just addictive. It’s simple, and fun and presses all the necessary buttons any Metroidvania fan would like to see in the genre. The game doesn’t try to revolutionize anything but rather tunes up a bit the same formula that made Castlevania: Symphony of the Night a timeless classic.

Code Vein is an open-world RPG, with a gameplay style reminiscent of souls-like games. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, once brimming with life and activity, now a lifeless landscape filled with danger and uncertainty. Players take control of mysterious characters called Revenant, a bunch of super-powerful vampires who were once humans before being infected with BOR parasites.

Their new powers came at the cost of losing their identity: memories are lost, hunger for blood gives in, and the only way to not lose their entire humanity is to consume every remaining life.

Acting as a reboot of the famous God Eater franchise, Code Vein’s gameplay may please that particular audience. Its complex story along with the beautifully executed anime-art style grants Code Vein a shadow of its own.

Evil West feels like a marriage between Darkwatch and an abundance of concepts from the beat’em up genre, resulting in a jaw-dropping experience for fans of the genre. The gameplay is incredibly smooth and addictive, making it a standout in the western gaming genre, which hasn’t seen a game this well-made in a long time.

As one of the remaining members of a confidential vampire-hunting organization, you stand as humanity’s last hope against a menacing terror that has emerged from the abyss. Take on the mantle of a Wild West hero, eliminate the vampire threat, and safeguard the future of the United States.

Evil West may not have visually stunning graphics, but its seamless gameplay compensates for this shortfall. Engage in intense battles as you press several button prompts to defeat your foes, quickly move from one location to another while taking aim with your firearm to deliver critical shots, and pull yourself towards enemies to execute fast and devastating combos that send limbs flying. If you’re a fan of beat’em up and shooter games, then Evil West is definitely worth checking out.

BloodRayne franchise is a bloody trip with the dhampir Rayne as she slices and dices her way through dozens of enemies with zero remorse. And why would she when they just keep on coming? From zombies, regular humans, and creatures to nazis, Rayne sure has a collection of meat bags to show off.

Armed with two sharp arm blades, guns, and vampiric abilities,  Rayne slays, kicks, and dismembers hordes of meat bags. The combat is flashy as hell, letting you string together a series of flashy combos. When Rayne is about to meet her maker, she can always resort to her predatory instincts and drain the life out of her foes (by wrapping her legs around them).

The first two instalments in the series were 3D experiences, with the latest being a 2D hack-and-slash adventure. Every entry in the franchise has its own unique flavour, it’s up to you which flavour you’re going to taste first.
