This is complicated for those unfamiliar with the system and can really hamper your experience of the game. Each character has skills, attributes, and disciplines which need to be selected at the start of each of their interconnecting narratives. Although the game is designed to be approachable to series newcomers it really isn’t.

Three trusted vampires are despatched to investigate the conspiracy, destroy any threat identified, and reclaim any information that could bring down the Masquerade if it fell into enemy hands. Instead of differing domains being reunited by the charismatic ‘Prince’ Hazel Iversen of the ‘Camarilla community’, many important members have been slain and there is a sense of panic and unease among those that remain standing. The story takes place in Boston after a celebratory event has gone pear-shaped, due to the party-crashing antics of an as yet identified anti-vampire organisation. Onwards then into vampiric high society in the Xbo圎ra review of Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong. Clips of the cinematic cut-scenes in the trailer really caught my eye and one character in particular, the stylishly black-suited Leysha with her David Bowie eyes and new wave haircut looked somewhat intriguing. Offering players the chance to solve a thrilling conspiracy by using the unique skills of three different vampires I must admit that I had been looking forward to playing it.

Swansong is the latest addition to the long-running Vampire: The masquerade series and is a single-player RPG adaption of a tabletop game.
