Mayhem's re-released Vampire Hunters has been reviewed at Resolution Magazine and they aren't impressed one little bit. The score is 3/10, despite the budget price tag:
More information.Combat is the worst kind of turn-based. There are virtually no tactical options until a hideous way through the game. For the first hour, you select your attack type from a list of one, click on an enemy, watch it miss and then watch your foe slice you to death in two attacks. Heaven forbid you’re faced with multiple enemies. That means utilising various naughty medications like morphine, codeine (which is inexplicably more potent than morphine) and amphetamines. Except you can’t access them once you’re in a fight, and the game rarely gives you the choice whether to enter one or not. Frequently, you’re dropped straight into a battle from a cut-scene, and have to watch the bloody thing play out over and over until, by some miraculous fluke, you succeed. And then have to do it all again in two minutes time.
