About this game

Step into the grim world of 1918 London as Dr. Jonathan Reid, a newly-turned vampire torn between his duty as a healer and his thirst for blood. Battle Vampyr hunters and supernatural threats as you struggle to find a cure for the city’s deadly flu. Every decision you make shapes the fate of London and its citizens, forcing you to confront the monster within.

• Embrace the dichotomy of your existence as both healer and predator. In your quest to save London from the Spanish Flu, you must grapple with the primal urge to feed on the very people you swore to protect. Will you maintain your humanity or succumb to the insatiable hunger within?
• Driven by greed, you exploit your position for personal gain, leaving a trail of unrest in London. As your true motives are revealed, the city teeters on the edge of collapse.
• Explore the morally gray landscape of a world torn apart by disease and supernatural forces. As you delve into the lives of London’s inhabitants, you’ll be forced to confront the consequences of your choices. Will you be a beacon of hope, or will your thirst for power lead to London’s downfall?

Reviews

Unfortunately, the technical issues perhaps make the Switch a less ideal way to experience this adventure. Yet, this version still ultimately delivers the story and characters that really make the game worthwhile.

Like many games ported to Switch, Vampyr is perfectly adequate on the format, but nothing more. If you don’t own a PS4, Xbox One or a PC up to the task and have been itching to play the game, by all means pick it up; you’ll get a lot of enjoyment out of it. The Switch version is the weakest available though, and since Vampyr has such a wonderfully haunting atmosphere, the downgrades and performance issues do detract from it somewhat. Vampyr is still a good game on Switch, but it’s not the best way to play it.

Vampyr is a brilliant take on the vampire fantasy, focusing more on drama, relationships and inner conflicts than on sucking blood. The temptation at its core can lead to frustration, as the challenging boss fights feel designed to urge you towards killing more innocent NPCs. Anyone attempting a no-kill playthrough may struggle unless they’re willing to invest the time, but if you’re enjoying the story and characters, it’s time well spent.
