"I mean you have stealth and tactical shooter elements all wrapped up in everyone's favorite horror survival genre. You simply can't go wrong with this game!"
Released on July 4, publishers Microsoft and AQ Interactive and developer Artoon deployed willing gamers to fight for their independence in the intense action of "Vampire Rain" for Xbox 360. Rated "M" for Mature, "Vampire Rain has an estimated retail price of $59.99.
"Vampire Rain" combines stealth, survival horror and tactical shooter aspects and allows players to lead a black ops unit to liberate humankind from one of the deadliest supernatural enemies ever encountered in a video game. Known as Nightwalkers, this highly evolved new breed of Vampire is intensely fast with super agility and they are converting humans to their kind at an alarming rate. Stay out of sight and navigate around the enemy, or engage and destroy them through stealth.
With highly-developed senses and vicious reflexes, these bloodthirsty creatures are formidable foes. Direct assaults will almost certainly end in death without the right weapons, so a hunter's greatest weapon is stealth and the rain-soaked cityscape around them. Ultimately, the only sure way to eliminate the threat is to find and destroy the original Nightwalker – the enemy who spawned all others. Remain a human or become a Nightwalker as the battle rages online and take advantage of multiplayer modes such as Team Deathmatch or Capture the Flame, and continue the brutal, vampyric conflict over Xbox LIVE.
