After playing "Rise of the Night Clan", I realized that I was a fake vampire demon king

As mentioned in the weather forecast, Shanghai has been in a "high-temperature sauna" mode recently, and the surface temperature has already exceeded the fifty threshold. In this weather, I cannot leave the house during the day and can only go out for activities at night. Moving back and forth, I feel like a vampire who sleeps day and night.

Taking advantage of the situation, I have also seen some vampire characters in the game. For example, Arukado in Castlevania and the sexy Ryan girl in Vampire Ryan... I don't know how many people still remember her.

probably knows her as an old player

These people, or vampires, are basically from a considerable background, with outstanding appearances and exceptional abilities. They were born as protagonists, and the proud temperament of vampires also matched them.

But recently, a game called "Rise of the Night Clan" has shown me another kind of "vampire" image. Compared to Arukado and Ryan, the vampire protagonist in "The Rise of the Night Clan" can be said to be a down-to-earth "grassroots". He has neither a beautiful face nor a rich family background, and everything has to start from scratch. This setting may sound unconventional, but it precisely sets the stage for the rich content of "The Rise of the Night Clan".

At the beginning, we must strive for survival

Many people associate the common impression of "vampires" with these words: a cold and stern face, exquisite clothing, and elegant behavior.

Unfortunately, these words have nothing to do with the protagonist of "The Rise of the Night Clan". In fact, on the contrary, when the vampire played by the player crawls out of the coffin, it can be said that he is truly "penniless".

At the beginning, the CG is full of excitement, but looking at the quiet newborn platform and then at their naked self, many people will ask classic philosophical questions: Who am I? Where am i? What am I going to do?

's simple and unadorned opening

Fortunately, the producer took care of the player's feelings. From the beginning of the game, the current task will be thoughtfully marked in the upper left corner of the screen. Players can collect a lot of materials by strolling around a bit. However, in the process of obtaining resources, players also need to remember another thing, which is to avoid the sunlight.

Vampires fear sunlight, which is a setting that appears in many literary works. "The Rise of the Night Clan" also follows this interesting rule, which creates a considerable sense of immersion.

After the sun rises, the vampire played by the player must find a place of refuge. Hiding under trees or eaves can avoid direct sunlight and ensure life safety. If the player's movements are stylish enough, they can shuttle back and forth between the shade of trees and perform a good game of "practicing parkour under the sun".

If doesn't know how to parkour, it will be sunburned to death

But Night Clan Rise is not a racing game after all. Players need to think about how to fill their stomachs while avoiding the sunlight. A more direct way to put it is to drink blood.

The game system has configured a "blood pool" for players, which allows them to suck blood on enemies after defeating them. In the game, except for bloodless monsters such as skeletons and stone people, the vast majority of creatures can become targets for players to suck blood.

So every time I discover a new creature in the game, I have a slightly sinister smile on the corner of my mouth, and then run to taste their blood... Well, this statement may be a bit abnormal, but I am really curious about the blood quality of the new creature, because pure blood can provide vampires with a lot of benefits. Searching for high blood quality people from all over the world can also be considered a great pleasure in the game.

Once the castle is built, it becomes a king

After solving the problem of "eating" and "walking", vampires have to build a place to live and work in the game world. When it comes to the residence of vampires, many people associate it with some eerie castles. This can also be considered one of the public's impressions of vampire culture.

In Devil's City, "vampires" and "castles" are a set of elements that are bound to each other. After the game starts, players will inevitably come to the city of Count Dracula. All rooms and passages are ready-made items, and players can fully adventure in the castle.

By comparison, owning a castle in "The Rise of the Night Clan" is not that simple. "Building a castle" is considered the core gameplay of "Night Clan Rise", for which players have to search for materials everywhere and gradually build residences. That's right, in order to have their own territory, players need to have the awareness of being a "worker".

Don't worry, there are no capitalists who exploit vampires in this game, just brush the materials solidly in the early stage. Compared to other similar games like Famine, the resource acquisition speed of Night Clan Rise is much faster. Take a weapon from your PVE suit, and if you go out and chop down a few trees, your backpack will have hundreds of extra pieces of wood.

When players have enough resources to brush, they can also rely on technological facilities to synthesize some advanced things, such as wooden boards, leather, oilstones, and so on. As long as there are enough synthetic materials, technological facilities can achieve unmanned and automated production. Going out at night to search for resources, and returning home during the day to harvest a pile of processed goods, can achieve sustainable development.

It's normal for vampires to use magic on

Of course, not a single bite can make you fat. Although it is convenient to earn resources, to have a magnificent castle, one still needs to put in some effort. Prepare materials, unlock buildings, synthesize materials, upgrade technology, add decorations... Even if you are a lord, many things still need to be done by yourself.

Moreover, during this period, players must always ensure their life safety. I searched for a lot of resources when I went out, but when I got home, I was beaten to death by a passing bear, which would be a complete failure. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if I'm manipulating a fake vampire, and even bears can bully me at will.

But in the moment the castle was built, all the hard work dissipated. At least from this point on, players can confidently become the "Vampire City Lord" once. People who are willing to delve deeper can also dress up their castles in a stylish way, showcasing the charm of the vampire family.

By the way, you can also find some servants to help take care of it and browse more materials. After the end of a worker's career, players can take a walk and admire flowers in their own courtyard, which gives them a taste of "upper class". However, don't take it lightly once you have a castle, as all enemies want the player's life.

Don't forget the enemies

Vampires seem to be particularly prone to forming enemies, and many works have arranged various mortal enemies for vampires, such as werewolves, angels, and vampire hunters.

If we take "Rise of the Night Clan" as the standard, then the list of enemies will have to be longer. In addition to traditional vampire hunters, players will also encounter various opponents, such as rough miners, arsonists skilled in blasting, and frost archers who like to shoot cold arrows.

Wild wolves, skeletons, and zombies also have ill intentions towards vampires. Their attack methods are monotonous, but they can still send players to the west. Thinking of "Devil's City", although these monsters have all appeared, they are just the claws of Count Dracula. Nowadays, these monsters also have to fight against vampires to the death, it seems that the world of "Night Clan Rise" is not "friendly" at all.

In addition, dozens of bosses are scattered across various strongholds on the map, and some enemies even wander back and forth between several areas.

So when experiencing this game, players are likely to encounter the following situations: one second they are still busy chopping trees and mining, and the next second they collide with a vampire hunter covered in divine equipment. After running and sneaking home, I found the Stone Giant and the Wild Wolf strolling outside the camp.

Get used to being beaten up in groups

Since all kinds of battles are difficult to avoid, there is a principle to remember when fighting: if you can win, fight; if you can't win, run. Big men value being able to bend and stretch, and vampires are no exception.

If players have friends who are willing to go online, it should be much easier to brush materials or play bosses. Don't worry about experience and level issues, the character level in Night Clan Rise only depends on the equipment and weapons on their body. In other words, as long as you give your teammates some good equipment, everyone can have a happy game together.

If you want to add some more challenges, you can directly go to the PVP server to take a break, which is a different world. Players harm each other and engage in battles based on the skills they acquire by brushing their bosses. They move back and forth, taking on different positions and using various moves. The intense and thrilling battles are also enjoyable to watch.

More importantly, PVP players must always remember to stay at home. Because any player can occupy someone else's castle, or directly destroy the castle core, leveling the opposing hometown. If the castle is visited by the demolition team when going hunting, it would be more than worth the loss.

Whether it's "stealing" or "protecting", there is room for continuous research. Stealing the house was done in one go without leaving any flaws. To guard one's home, one must recruit more servants and take strict precautions. From this perspective, even if one becomes the lord of a city, life will still inadvertently teach players to be "ghosts".

epilogue

In terms of content, "Rise of the Night Clan" combines simulated survival gameplay with vampire culture. The entire game adopts many classic settings and the presentation is also quite natural. Whether it's solo monster fights or group gameplay, "Night Clan Rise" can reflect enough fun, which may be why players are always happy to play the role of a vampire and keep scrolling through it over and over again.
