- Developer: Terminal Reality / Ziggurat Interactive
A classic restored from top to bottom: Ziggurat Interactive gave a comprehensive overhaul to the BloodRayne original version of Terminal Reality -released in 2002- accommodating the textures, the resolution, the effects and in general giving it a treatment that fits like a glove to one of the best vampire-themed games ever made.
Code Vein
- Year: 2019

Bandai Namco may call them risen and the aesthetics are markedly Anime, but any doubts about Code Vein’s vampire themes are dispelled by dipping just a little into the game’s story. What’s more, not only can we drain the blood of our enemies to restore magic, but we can even equip ourselves with a Veil of Blood that will affect our presence and abilities.
Dracula: Love Kills

Dracula himself, the prince of the night, had to be present in our selection, and we have searched for a unique and original title: for PC gamers: Dracula: Love Kills takes up the point-and-click formula of a lifetime and confronts us with the Queen of the Vampires, a threat too great that will require an extreme alliance: the count will join forces with Dr. Van Helsing himself in order to save the world .
Bonus Stage: The SIMS 4 Vampires
- Year: 2017
- Developer: EA / Maxis
no listing of Extra Life is left without a bonus phase, especially when there are expansions of The Sims 4 capable of giving our Sims supernatural abilities while we debate whether to lead a life as close to normal (Addams style, of course) or dedicate ourselves for completely to chaos and evil.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2
- Year: 2001
- Developer: Crystal Dynamics
the saga Legacy of Kain could not be missing from our vampire list, and in the absence of a Soul Reaver that has been removed from Steam and GOG for too long (with the promise of returning) we are left with its sequel and the hope that Crystal Dynamics will resurrect it now that it is in the hands of Embracing.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 continues the journey of vengeance and redemption of Raziel, a vampire mutated before his time condemned by his kind to be little more than a ghostly wreck. Of course, now he has twice the resources to quench his anger: the vampiric and those of the spectral world.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption
- Year 2000
- Developer: Nihilistic Software / Activision
Possibly the most representative game of the entire legacy of Vampire: The Masquerade through video games. Nihilistic Software and Activision offer us a journey through the different eras starting from medieval Europe and reaching the present day in which destiny will cross our search for redemption with the inevitable confrontation with the vampire lord Vukodlak. It may not be exactly an RPG and vampire-themed version of de The immortalsbut the similarities are there.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption
vampire

The Dr Jonathan Reid faces a terrible dilemma: he has just been turned into a vampire and his new powers and abilities will allow him to put an end to a terrible evil that appears from the depths of London in 1918.
The problem? Now, his life depends on the blood of those he intends to save. DONTNOD shines again with Vampyr in a story where player decisions matter.
Bonus Ball: Castlevania Advance Collection
