Fans of classic titles like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night know how many indie games that legendary title has inspired, and another that should pique your interest is Vampire’s Veil. This is a a new Metroidvania from developer Fairy Cave Studio inspired by Symphony of the Night and Super Metroid and stars a vampire named Selene, whose family was attacked and trapped by hunters during a celebration feast, kickstarting a journey for revenge. The game makes use of Game Boy Advance-style pixel art and beautifully smooth animations, with Selene being able to use her magical blood blade ability to punish those who stand in her way with elaborate attacks and stunning combos, while also feeding on human blood to restore her “healing bats”, which are an essential element of the game that allow her to cast blood magic and restore her health.
“Embark on a dark and vengeful journey alongside Selene, a vampire determined to free her family and reclaim her kingdom.
Seven years ago, the legendary Guardians of the Crystal Seal attacked the castle of Lord Damian Thorn, imprisoning him and his wives in a magical crystal. Now, with the help of Damian’s lingering dark essence, Selene awakens and sets out to hunt down the seven vampire hunters responsible for their captivity. Her mission? Recover the crystal fragments, restore her family’s power, and take revenge on those who betrayed them.
With fast-paced combat, deep exploration, and challenging platforming, Vampire’s Veil flips the classic vampire hunter narrative. Here, you are the predator, facing unconventional enemies like fairies, gnomes, and elven paladins. Battle formidable bosses, uncover hidden secrets, and master dark abilities as you traverse a rich and immersive world.
