Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 creative director outlines its ‘visceral immersive combat’

The latest dev diary for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is dedicated to the horror RPG’s combat system, outlining three gameplay styles players will be able to choose between. Alex Skidmore, creative director at The Chinese Room, begins with the “strategic stalker” playstyle, which is your stealth assassin package for backstab-likers. 

“Did you enjoy the Dishonored series,” Skidmore asks, “or playing stealth-focused builds in Fallout or Elder Scrolls games? Me too! It gives you time to prepare what Discipline power you’d like to use and when. Once your plan is ready, summoning the powers of the blood, sneaking up on an enemy, distracting them, feeding on them before a fight breaks out or hit and run tactics are options for people who love to play this way.”
