Hello Vampires lords! After a long work, I can finally show you the fighting system which we just finished. Fighting in Vampire Clans is based on a slow-motion tactic, which is almost like an active pause but your vamps could be hit if you are making your decision too long. Of course, you can use a traditional real-time playstyle based on your reflex.

In one of them, the vampire is acting normal, just like normal people do.

Vampire sense turns on slow motion when the vampire is attacked (and when he's not moving), which allows him to make effective dodges and counterattacks.

In gifs, you can see the people using crossbows. They are trying to avoid a direct and close meeting with the vampire. When the vampire is too close to them, they are moving back, and the further NPCs are slowly moving toward the vampire and trying to shoot him. During this, NPCs are always trying to surround the vampire and don't let him escape.

Also, there are two camera modes, one of them is an unlocked camera. The second one is a lock on target mode. You can now lock on camera on your current vampire to make an RPG playstyle.
