![]() ![]() The Cathedral is one of the most confusing stages in the game. There are some maps that do have a puzzles to solve, switches to find and doors to open. You go from point A to B slaying all the baddies in your path. Most of the maps here are pretty straightforward. Once you’ve gathered your gear at home base you’re ready to head out into the wilds of Vein to explore. The game offers a very in-depth explanation in the hints section, and if you’ve never played a Souls style game I would recommend checking it out. Magic builds are very powerful in this game with great range, speed builds allow you to gain buffs as you dodge and many other possibilities. You can basically buff and just tank through their blows with a huge two handed sword! While this was my favorite, the tools here would allow you to customize a build to any play style you wanted. The more balance you have the less likely it is an enemy can stagger you out of an attack. I personally went with a tank style build that had very high strength scaling and a ton of balance. You can just equip that Code and kill enemies while the skill is equipped if you wish. You will have to spend some awakening items and Haze to unlock these for use outside of the Code they come in. You can unlock skills from any Blood Code you’ve obtained and mix and match them however you wish to create your ultimate class. These are checkpoint that work like campfires in Dark Souls. These skills are learned by spending Haze acquired from enemies at Mistles. Each weapon and Blood Veil (armor) will either hinder or enhance each of these, and players can learn passive skills and buffs to pad these out. Players will want to match equipment and skills based on their stats in various attributes. Each partner brings different skills to the table, so you want to experiment with each to see which one compliments your current build. The game offers a New Game+ when you complete it with a harder difficulty for those that like the abuse.Ĭode Vein plays like your typical Souls style game, except you can have an AI partner to help you out. There is nothing convoluted here, so most folks will be able to get any ending they wish easily. The game has three different endings depending on if you complete certain tasks during the story. Murasame and Yakumo were my favorites here, but I don’t feel like any of them were bad in the least. I really grew to love a lot of the characters, and having seen all of their backstories. I was always excited to find the next Vestige to see whose memories it contained as I pieced together not only my allies’ pasts, but how the world came to be in this state. I have to say I found the story here very interesting. You decide to join Louis and the rest of the members of his group to find an answer to the Blood Bead shortage and figure out what exactly happened to this world. This means you are damaged but can take on the Blood Codes of others. He runs some tests on you and finds you’re a Void type Revenant. This allows you to gain the Lost’s Blood Code. He is in shock when you make contact with a Vestige of a Lost and do not frenzy. You soon meet a man named Louis that helps you in a battle with a dangerous Lost. A girl in white that calls herself IO guides you to a dried up Bloodspring Plant which you are able to revive. You awaken to find yourself in the city ruins known as Vein. These are produced from Bloodspring plants which have began to dry up. Most of this blood is obtained from a fruit called Blood Beads. There is no way to bring someone back once they are lost. Revenants that don’t consume enough blood will be mutated into creatures called The Lost. ![]() When you reincarnate, parts of your memory may be lost. There are some drawbacks to gaining near immorality. This was done in order to defend the world from the “Great Collapse.” Unfortunately, this approach failed. The story takes place is a post apocalyptic world where some humans have changed into weaponized blood seeking Revenants. Let’s see if it was a ride to hell or a joyride. A Souls type game with a story focus and an anime aesthetic? Sign me up for that! I finally got my hands on it, and it was quite a ride indeed. When BANDAI NAMCO announced Code Vein it got my attention. Not necessarily because of the difficulty, but I like games with more of a focus on characters than lore. I’ve never been a huge fan of Souls games. ![]()
