Per il Future Games Show Spring Showcase, NACON and Big Bad Wolf Studio have unveiled a new trailer for Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansongwith the game’s deep RPG mechanics at its core.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong developed by Big Bad Wolf, the same studio that created the acclaimed The Council. Both video games share the same DNA: the Narrative RPG genre developed by Big Bad Wolf.
In this video game adaptation, Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong gamers will be able to take control of three heroes with their own character sheet.
Through the choices, they will shape the stats of their characters: using their skills, it will be possible to open a locked lock, intimidate an NPC or make more efficient deductions based on suggestions. The higher the level of mastery of a skill, the more chances the players will have.
In addition to these abilities, the heroes will also have vampire powers, known as “Disciplines”. Galeb, the eldest of the three heroes, can use “Fortress” to resist physical attacks and NPC Disciplines used against him. Emem, stylish queen of the night, uses “Haste” to reach inaccessible areas. Leysha, hypersensitive followed by her daughter Halsey, can hide her presence with Obfuscat, and with enough experience points she can hide objects from prying eyes.
By customizing the character sheets, players will have numerous options. By focusing on a specific style of play they will develop “Talents”, which are permanent bonuses. The use of “Skills” and “Disciplines” will bring greater chance of success.
To enrich the character sheet there are the “Traits”, ie the result of the positive or negative effects of the failures and successes of the actions, or the influence of certain decisions taken. Strengths and weaknesses will be indicated in the character data. When players use Skills or Disciplines during interactions, they will defend themselves with their stats. Inspired by the experience of pen and paper, a roll of the dice will decide success or failure in the event of a tie.
With more than fifteen endings for the main characters and the fate of Boston’s Camarilla, every Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong will experience their own adventure in this unique narrative RPG.
