Game of Vampires: Twilight Sun 17+

I’ll go with the bad first. Like the title says, if you want to win any sort of competition you’re either going to have to spend a LOT of money, or hoard items like a madman for months. And either way, you’ll always have a risk of someone swooping in and dropping a cool $2k out of nowhere. So if you’re competitive and get frustrated and are also on a strict budget, probably you should play something else.

Now, the pros: the game looks and sounds beautiful. The graphics are lovely, you really do feel like you’re in a supernatural city, and unlike some other games who shall not be mentioned, the writing and dialogue is interesting and really fun. So if you just want a game you can spend a little time in, put down, and come back to a few hours later, it’s a good option.

Really the only thing holding me back from giving the game 5 stars is the fact you have to spend SO MUCH MONEY to compete. I get that it’s the business model, but I wish they would sort out servers so the really competitive people who spend tons of money were in their own space because we “normies” can’t hope to compete and get cool skins otherwise.

I’ve reposted this review with updates and yet each one may or may not actually save…that should tell you everything you need to know about the game. Criticism is apparently not allowed. Everything is severely expensive and all the people who have money are very greedy with all the rushes, not allowing other people to grow as a server. It is very hard to get lovers and wardens unless you have the bankroll of Bill Gates or the patience of mother Teresa. Graphics and story are decent, but the ends certainly don’t justify the means. Of all the games I have played similar to this, this is definitely the most depressing and has the least amount of rewards for spending money. What could be an amazing game is absolutely trashed by the gratuitous amount of money needed to actually feel like you are part of it. There is so much drama too. The game as a whole just isn’t worth it. And the fact that I have had to repost this review with updates and they rarely go through just goes to show that the devs are just here to make money, and the game is nothing more than a money grab. The art and music is pretty much all this game has going for it. The rushes/rush rewards are awful, and having Rite of War every week instead of biweekly or once a month at most again shows that this game is nothing more than a money grab as you need to have diamonds for literally everything or you get little to nothing as a reward.

I started playing about a week ago and have become somewhat addicted to it. The graphics are amazing, and storyline is great. There a few reasons why it doesn’t get 5 stars from me. If you’re not familiar with this type of format of a game there is a big learning curve to it which I’m still learning. The support guide is not really helpful, basically just leaves you asking more questions. Then when you ask those questions, the support is not there from the developers. You sort of have to rely on other players to actually guide you and that’s if they want to help. Another thing I have come to realize is that you are never really going to be able to come out on top during the ranking events without spending a hefty amount of money on items to get you there. Not sure if it’s the same for all servers but if you don’t have the ability to spend, you aren’t ranking anywhere close to the top. Most importantly, if you do spend money on something be prepared to get taxed on it. Oh, and just a little heads up, if you want proof of what was bought, they can’t provide you with that information also. 🙄
