About the Game

The Way of Blood (WoB) is a community driven dark vampire single / multiplayer online role-playing game (MORPG) set in the end of the 19th century and developed by a handful of hobbyists. Based on Bram Stokers novel “Dracula”, the Way of Blood tells the story and conflict between humans organized by Van Helsing and vampires controlled by Vlad Tepes also known as the famous Count Dracula. The Way of Blood is inspired by Francis Ford Coppolas movie “Bram Stokers Dracula” released in 1992 and series like "Penny Dreadful".

Gameplay

The Way of Blood will offer you lots of unique gameplay elements which you never saw in known MORPGs before. Here is a little list of some of the most important features, which the game will offer to you.

A beautiful dark world with real time weather effects and seasons

You will find nice crafted worlds and environments with photo scanned textures and dynamic real time Weather Effects. A dynamic world which changes during different weather seasons like Winter or Summer is just one feature. The Goal of the Game is not giving you Witcher 3 detailed and supreme graphics but really trying to offer you as much beautiful and detailed graphics for a non AAA Title made by indie Developers.

Face the world alone or together with other players

The Way of Blood is different from typical MORPGs out there. The Gameworld consist of Playerbases where all player of the Online Servers come together. While London is the Playerbase of Humans, Transylvania / Castle Dracula is the Playerbase of the Vampires. In this places players take quests, sell and buy stuff and simple chat with other players of the same Race. If you decide to leave the Playerbases for questing, killing or exploring, you can decide if you find yourself alone in the world or join / create a Group with your friends to face the world. This gameplay decision makes the Game perfectly modular because starting from the Playerbases the content can be added easily by the Team and the Community. So with every Content Update you will find more Maps and Terrains around your Playerbase until at the end both Playerbases are connected together by different Terrains.

Action based RPG Combat

The Way of Blood will offer you a unique action based combat System. It will have a spell casting system that you should know from other MORPGs, but will be more actions based than typical “cast, cooldown wait, cast” combat systems. More information will come soon.

An unique “Leveling” System

The Way of Blood will offer you a whole new “Level System” which you never saw before. It will not base on typical Leveling System known from other MORPGs. More information will come soon.

Different Play-Styles for both Races

As you know from films and books, Vampires are different from humans. They are faster and sometimes stronger but have also some disadvantages to humans. In the Way of Blood both races will be played completely different. For example ask you following question: What happens to Vampires in the direct sun? You will see that later in the game

PVE at its best. Procedural Dungeons / Raids and random mechanics

The Way of Blood will focus on PVE content. This means that PVP will certainly come in the future but PVE plays a bigger role for the gameplay.
With procedural generated dungeons and Raids your next visits should never get boring. You can expect the same from our Boss AI’s. Every Boss Encounter can and certainly will be different because of random elements. Tired of typical dungeon or Raid bosses that do the same Events / Spells at 75%, 50% and 25% of health? Bosses in the Way of Blood will have random events that can be triggered so every Encounter will be different. We will post more information about the PVE and AI System once it’s in the game.
