Following the lead of Team Ninja with samurai slasher Nioh, Bandai Namco are having a pop at developing their own Souls-like with Code Vein. It is to be a post-apocalyptic RPG in which anime vampires roam the land in search of blood. While the studio initially played up to the Dark Souls comparison (complete with a ‘Prepare to Dine’ tagline), this action-RPG shares more of its DNA with FromSoftware’s own gothic Souls-like Bloodborne, rather than the slow-paced actual Souls series. All clear? Good. Want another Souls-like to battle through? The Surge is certainly worth a go as our review attests. Code Vein borrows liberally from the latter series’ playbook, however, with ‘Mistles’ replacing bonfires, an identical stamina system, and the total loss of all XP when you die. But playing Code Vein like a Souls outing will get you nowhere. There are no shields to hide behind, for one thing, so dodging or parrying enemy attacks is your only way to survive. from https://www.pcgamesn.com/code-vein/code-vein-bloodborne-pc
