Outside of a couple of button-timing mini games, every level here consists of moving from arena to arena clearing out the baddies and culminating in a boss encounter. It is also part of its downfall as you progress. The focus on spraying the walls with blood is apparent and the heart of the game. Saying that Vampire Smile is a violent game is an understatement at the highest level. Whether you play as the Dishwasher or Yuki the levels are pretty much the same, the difference comes with the weapons they wield.Įach character has access to a collection of melee weapons and a gun, all of which are designed to separate your foes from their appendages. But, it gives the developers an excuse to offer up two campaigns, and with it some diversity in the gameplay. To be honest, not a whole lot of this mess makes enough sense to follow, and the cut scenes are comic book panels with scattered text that had me scratching my head more often than not. Vampire Smile comes packed with two campaigns: one that continues the story of our fabled Dead Samurai, and a new one, for his sister Yuki. Vampire Smile feels more streamlined and certainly more approachable. With the sequel, the developers have definitely taken the criticisms into account. It was also known for having some unforgiving checkpoints that made it a truly hardcore action title, the end of which most players would never see. The original game was known for its brutal difficulty, fountains of blood and gore and, of course, some slick combat.
The original game was created as an indie project by Ska Studios and was so good that Microsoft picked it up for the XBLA program. The Dishwasher is a fairytale of sorts for game developers.
