Furthermore, not only did we get to interviewCode Veindevelopers, but we were also treated to an hour-long hands-on session, with unbelievable footage captured. We also learned many things about Code Vein that we didn’t know before the game show.
All-in-allCode Veinis shaping up to feel much like a combination ofAnime,SoulsandBloodbornewith some wrinkles. Combat is fast and tight, and besides a few camera-related bugs here and there, it just feels right. It’s got that sort of combat that makes you want to keep playing and you learn from your mistakes. It certainly has a learning curve, and even as aSoulsborneveteran I had a hard time getting used to some of the new concepts, that I have no doubt will become second nature to many of us would beCode Veinplayers. All this game really needs in my opinion is some polish and multiplayer and it will certainly keep players occupied for months. I look forward to seeing more from this title really soon.
Alongside the announcement, a new trailer for the game was released featuring new monsters like thePukei-PukeiandNergigante, new locations likeCoral HighlandsandAstera, which is the base of operations the Research Commission uses, as well as a new piece of gear, theGlider mantle.
