About
IN THE FACE OF CERTAIN DEATH, WE RISE. In the not too distant future, a mysterious disaster has brought collapse to the world as we know it. Towering skyscrapers, once symbols of prosperity, are now lifeless graves of humanity’s past pierced by the Thorns of Judgment. At the center of the destruction lies a hidden society of Revenants called Vein. This final stronghold is where the remaining few fight to survive, blessed with Gifts of power in exchange for their memories and a thirst for blood. Give into the bloodlust fully and risk becoming one of the Lost, fiendish ghouls devoid of any remaining humanity. Wandering aimlessly in search of blood, the Lost will stop at nothing to satisfy their hunger. Team up and embark on a journey to the ends of hell to unlock your past and escape your living nightmare in CODE VEIN.

- NoobFeed8.7Code Vein is a stylish Soulslike with an anime twist. It excels in customization and experimentation, but the enemies and graphics could be improved.

Code Vein
Code Vein is about an apocalypses with the human race. Something happened that now the vampires exist, unable to die unless someone kills its heart. Code Vein is a Soul's game, in which of course you will die several times. Personally I don't like the Soul's games because they are too punishment and hard, but this game is perfect for beginners. You can play with a companion which can revive you by sharing its own life, also you can play online so someone else can help you to beat those hard bosses. It still be a hard game, but it's not so hard compared to others Soul's games. The mechanics of Code Vein could be a little confused, you have to parry so you can do more damage and steal blood from your opponent, BUT you can not parry from bosses... so be careful. Also Code Vein have several classes, in which you can change whenever you want. You can combine different abilities with other classes, but you have to mastered it before. You need blood to perform the special abilities, its like your mana. The music is acceptable, it have 3 endings in which depends on some bosses decisions. Give it a try :)
For those who tried playing this game, I doubt you didn't spent more than an hour customizing your own anime waifu? XD I somehow enjoyed this game, tho storyline is linear and typical. I can't believe that game was compared to other souls game and Sekiro. This is way easy to play though.
