Vampire's Fall: Origins is 90% off on Steam until November 11.
In Vampire's Fall: Origins, players are unwillingly turned into a vampire and embark on a quest for revenge through a dark fantasy world. The old-school RPG features turn-based combat, an open world and extensive character customization. The game is currently 90% off on Steam, bringing its price down to just $1.29 for the first time.

In Vampire's Fall: Origins, players initially enjoy a peaceful life in a small village – until a sinister sorcerer ruins everything and turns them into a vampire against their will. What follows is a quest for revenge through a dark fantasy world filled with monsters and dark magic. The RPG is currently 90% off on Steam until November 11, bringing its price down to just $0.99 instead of nearly $10. According to SteamDB, the previous biggest discount was 85%, meaning the current deal marks the first time the game has dropped below the $1 mark.

In terms of gameplay, Vampire's Fall: Origins draws on the strengths of classic role-playing games. Players explore an open world from an isometric perspective, encountering all kinds of monsters and other enemies along the way. Instead of fast-paced real-time combat, however, the game features turn-based battles that reward the clever use of weapons and abilities. Particularly important are the so-called Combo Turns, which allow players to chain multiple actions together into powerful attack combinations.

Character development also offers plenty of options. Right at the start, players choose between four vampire bloodlines, each providing different bonuses. As the game progresses, numerous active and passive abilities can be unlocked. There are also more than 250 visually distinct weapons and armor pieces that allow players to customize their fighting style. Beyond the main story, the world is filled with side quests, hidden treasures and particularly powerful bosses.

Turn-based battles require the right combination of weapon attacks and vampire abilities.

Vampire's Fall: Origins has received mostly positive feedback on Steam, with 78% of approximately 1,140 user reviews recommending the game. Players praise its dark atmosphere, extensive character customization options and rewarding progression system. However, the combat is criticized for becoming repetitive over time, while the amount of grinding is another common complaint. Many players are also particularly frustrated that the paid Steam version offers significantly less content than the free mobile version.

Fans of classic RPGs who enjoy a dark vampire setting could certainly have a good time with Vampire's Fall: Origins. The game is also suitable for gaming on the go, as it is rated "Verified" for the Steam Deck and should therefore run without major issues.
