Vampire Genesis

Vampire Genesis is a free vampire PBBG with the same daily rhythm: you spend Actions each day to hunt, train and fight, and your vampire is still there tomorrow. It trades the jokes for gothic atmosphere. Where it differs:

  • Familiars to collect. Over 160 creatures to catch, breed and battle, with a Codex to fill.
  • Gear graded Poor to Legendary, crafted by players in professions that depend on each other.
  • Covens and PvP. Raise a coven, fight in the arena and wage territory wars on the city map.
  • A city you can see. A pixel-art map of Death Valley with its own clock, weather and seasonal events.
  • Cosmetic-only premium. The game never sells gold, Actions or gear.
