Bloodmasque ($6.99)
What’s it about? Combining role-playing elements, action-heavy swipe-based gameplay and photo capturing, Bloodmasque puts players in battles against vicious vampire enemies.
What’s cool? There are vampires to slay in Bloodmasque, the latest action-role-playing title from Square Enix. But first, you need to take photos. Bloodmasque uses a photo-capturing technology that allows you to map your own features onto your in-game character at the outset of the game, and the first step is snapping a shot you’re happy with and getting your character set up. Once that’s done, you’ll adventure into the game’s story, where you’ll fight vampires with a mixture of RPG tactics and swipe-based gameplay. You’ll also have other party members to fight at your side, and Square Enix says you can expect at least 12 hours of gameplay to work through – and as much as 20 hours if you complete everything.
Who’s it for? Fans of role-playing titles and action games who are looking for a new experience with great production values should check out Bloodmasque.
