Although it's become trite to compare video games to Dark Souls - there's even a Twitter account dedicated to reductive Dark Souls comparisons - Bandai Namco's Code Vein has modelled itself so closely and purposefully on From Software's series there's no avoiding it. Dark Souls beats strongly in Code Vein's chest, but from what I've seen there are more than enough new twists on the formula to elevate it beyond a copy into what promises to be a new and refreshingly bizarre anime-kissed action-RPG.
Code Vein's set-up is a little more transparent than one you might find in a Souls game. In the very near future, mysterious "Thorns of Judgement" have spiked through the world, causing mass destruction. In order to survive, the dwindling members of the human race – including your custom player character – have turned themselves into youthful vampires, feeding on blood in order to survive. A wall keeps the vampires enclosed, enveloping the ruined architecture from our century, crushed skyscrapers, broken cars, battered jukeboxes.
