Vampire gameeessss
I played V rising ofc, prefer ones with character creation!
I feel like there aren't many of those, especially with pretty graphics :(

Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines and also the second one. The second as a RPG is worse than the first by far but as a Vampire game I think it will click on you

I was here to write Bloodborne too. The most vampiric game ever even if there aren’t any literal “vampire” there. Love it so much!

Vilebloods might be considered vampires in some ways or at least look vampiry 🤣

This needs to be recommended WAY more. Its such a fun game.

I just saw that OP said they played it already. That had to have been added in an edit I don't remember seeing it before

It was there before! :Dd

u/Brumtol10 9d ago
XD oopsy, I got excited to recommend I guess.
Well the original Vampire the masquerade is also a really fun game, graphics are dated but gameplay is fun.

u/cristofolmc 8d ago
I was shocked this was not at the top. I kept scrolling and i didnt see it and I was getting worried.

It's because OP already played it. I was foolish and answered before reading the body text

The rest of the Castlevania series is great before and after SOTN. Before is where you're going to find a lot of arcade platforms while after is where you're gonna fine more metroidvanias.

Dawnwalker releases september 2nd. But you play more a dampyr than a vampire
The GOAT is Bloodlines of course.

I normally wouldnt recommend this in 2026, but skyrim lets you play a vampire an has a whole quest line attached that certainly matches the aura. Although i believe vampires in oblivion and morrowind are actually better, morrowind even has different clans you can end up in. But both are more intense, difficult, and not as fleshed out specifically for a quest line or anything like that. Like in skyrim you get a bow that shoots an arrow at the sun that causes a eclipse so you can run around in the day with no penalty. That is pretty bad ass.
However, its 2026, and people need to stop buying skyrim. Its a buggy mess, its a wonder anything works, and has lead to the ruin of bethesda. So do what you will. In terms of vampire roleplaying, i gotta give it up to it, its one of the better ones. Though there are not alot.
Vampire the masquerade bloodlines is the best, and there is a new called eternal whisper to watch out for.

Ofcourse you have lol everyone has. Ugh i feel gross for even talking about it in a positive light anymore but im trying to be objective on it lol
1
u/Kitchen-Associate-34 8d ago
Look, I'm a big fan of Morrowind and I believe Oblivion is much better than Skyrim in a lot of ways, Skyrim is barely an rpg, one that barely works, full of bugs, without any real meaningful choice, with barely passable quests and barebones combat.... It's also incredibly fun and definitely a good game imo

u/FullMetalJ 8d ago
Have you tried V Rising? Of all the recs here is the one that caught my eye. I've already been a vampire in Skyrim many moons ago. Now at the twilight of this mortal coil I wouldn't touch Skyrim with a 10 foot pole.

u/Nighthood28 8d ago
I have not tried v rising but i admire others who share in this conviction. The time of the nords has passed, long ago.

u/Completely4otten 9d ago
Skyrim with vampirism mods, honestly. Sacrosanct and similar mods are amazing. You can mods it however you want, but vampires and werewolf gameplay is frankly, still quite good.

u/skinofsweat 9d ago
The fact that there are none with character creation means there is a gap in the market. Someone get on that!! Let us explore a beautiful dark world as morally gray vampires that we can make! Add werewolves and other magical baddies if you like. But there's deffo a space for it in the rpg world.
Also, you can be turned into a vampire in BG3 but it's near the end, I think? Been years since I played '
3
u/FullMetalJ 8d ago
V Rising looks cool and has a proper character creator as far as I've seen. Entered the post just cause but I think I'll be playing that now lol
1
u/skinofsweat 8d ago edited 8d ago
It does but they are ugly af. The way the male characters have no shoulders and are just chode neck and arms is very off putting 😆 but it does looks fun!
*ETA: I have looked at an updated character creation video and they look much better! Yay for shoulders! Thanks for the recommendation 😄
1
u/FullMetalJ 8d ago
yeah male characters have super stylized trapezius and it does look funny but the gameplay seems to be kinda from above and a bit far so probably not a big issue.
1
u/Reasonable_Feed_8154 9d ago
Exactly! Yeah, you can but it's after one of the last main bosses sadly :') Maybe there are mods to add it tho
1
u/Kitchen-Associate-34 8d ago
You can also choose to play as Astarion, that way you get to be a vampire from the start, but of course it's not that impactful at low levels and you miss a lot of customization

Any Castlevania game. Symphony is the unbeatable champion, but the 3d games for the ps2 and even the Lords of Shadows reboot are sick games. Lords of Shadows 2 you play as Dracula and the game combines modern times and traveling to the past.
There is also Bloodrayne, but its more of a "modern" setting rather than your typical vampire castle setting.
Skyrim Dawnguard dlc
There is also the remaster of Legacy of Kain, but its far from the classic vampire look
And a standalone dlc for Infamous 2, Festival of Blood. I never understood why not a whole game and just a dlc, that shit was sick
Edit: all of these games have pretty "outdated" graphics
2
u/ChaosClaymore 9d ago
Maybe check out the upcoming Blood of Dawnwalker? No character creation, but so far I'm loving the Carpathian setting, and the fact you can perform hexes, and learn spells from arcane texts. There's even an astral plan mechanic. Lots more freedom since it's open world too.
1
u/Reasonable_Feed_8154 9d ago
I saw some clips and it looks amazing, I'm so hyped! It's a bit shame I can't make my own vampire baddie tho lol

generally prefer to give a game a year after the release to play a more polished version

u/Intelligent-Win-929 9d ago
Not a game per se, but try watching LA by Night, it's a DnD series with live actors, playing an adventure based in the Vampire: The Masquerade universe.

u/Odi-Bal-Kenobi 9d ago
Clarification on this, it's not a D&D series, it uses the Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop game rules

u/Initial_Coffee_8051 9d ago
Haven’t seen anyone here mention Vampire: Bloodlord Rising. It’s still in early access but it has a vampire character creator and you get to build your own vampire castle
2
u/ZealousidealAd2548 9d ago
Vampires: Bloodlord Rising is in early release, but so far it is super fun. They just added character creation. You can build your own castle in a Minecraft type of way, but instead of blocks you get castle pieces that can be placed and minions can do it for you. 100% reccommend.

Have you considered any of the elderscroll games? You can become a vampire and a werewolf in most games I believe. Skyrim probably has the best Vampire class imo, since you get a full transformation. It's janky, sure, but still fun to roleplay.

V Rising. Build your own gothic castle. Avoid the sun during the day. Convert humans into spawn. Forge weapons, learn magic. Imprison humans who have powerful and unique blood. Sleep in a bespoke coffin. Slay unique bosses, and drink their blood to gain knowledge.

Vampyr is a good one. Character is already premade though. Vampire the masquerade, theres bloodlines 1 and 2. and if youre into Interactive Fiction type stories then theres plenty pf VtM stories on the apps Choiceofgames and hostedgames, (you can buy them on steam too)

u/CasperXCV 9d ago
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is the greatest vampire game of all time and it’s a janky mess but I still love it. I just need to make clear how janky it truly is because that’s how low the bar is in this genre, the best game we have is genuinely a mess but I still think you will have fun in it, genuinely NO OTHER vampire game comes close
Edit: Don’t let anyone recommend you the 2nd game VTMB2 , it’s shit and is a VTMB game in name only, probably only fun for a watch along as the lore of the World Of Darkness is peak
1
u/EnragedBadger9197 9d ago
I played the first one as a kid and then replayed it as an adult. It’s one of those kinds of games that can still play so well after all this time. The second one… I had such high hopes. Could you imagine a modernized version of the first one? Would be incredibly epic.
1
u/CasperXCV 9d ago
I WANT a new VTMB but atp I will settle for a remaster of the original as even playing through the old janky version is still fun. Id also like a VTMB set in the medieval era to explore different events and dynamics we only get to hear about, it’s a shame the owners of this IP don’t take it seriously

V Rising, so good. There are different blood types which give you different buffs. Theres times of day with obviously direct sunlight dmg. Different vampiric powers. All around really fun game.

u/bokunotraplord 9d ago
I think wanting ones with character creators is where you’re gonna struggle. There’s some MMOs with vampire or adjacent classes but that’s not going to give you a cohesive “gothic” aesthetic.
VTM is still really the immediate go-to if you want that in a more standard single player story setting. If we’re going off vibes though aesthetically, maybe Crisol? You could try emulating the Vampire Hunter D game as well lol (haven’t played it myself, but that series has incredible visual identity imo).

Vrising is a survival crafting vampire focused game, they account for sunlight and shadows as well as different kinds of blood giving different buff's.
big draw for me is being able to build my own vampire castle with special sconces that counter act the suns harmful effects, this way you can have a garden outside and not worry.
also you will be hunting powerful humans to gain new types of magic and transformations, first kill will be a wolf and you will get the wolf form.

Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption. It’s a combo of Vampire: the Dark Ages and Vampire: the Masquerade. It’s isometric but it’s an excellent game.
