Rogue Vampire
A downloadable game
Secreted away in a dusty crypt, I, the Creature of the Night rise majestically from my deep slumber within the velvet lined protection of my somber coffin... and ow it is not comfortable at all. I used to have a title, and land! Now I'm a grave digging peasant. Well, I have nothing to lose - I will infiltrate the castle and will take back the crown I once wore an aeon ago!
Rogue Vampire is a tactical stealth-focused traditional roguelike. You don't have a lot of health, so pick your fights and bait your enemies in cat-and-mouse games - taking a wrong step can put your limited health pool at risk, but as a sneaky vampire you're adept at maneuvering out of sight into the right place for that backstabbing attack.
This game was made inside one full week for the 7 Day Roguelike Challenge of 2024. Per the rules, this game wasn't completely from scratch - I build upon the foundations of my many previous 7DRL entries. This is my 16th entry in this challenge!

First time playing it, died due to recklessness, second time playing it and learned my lesson, it got difficult until i had one blood left, survived, pretty good game.
Despite the giant and piling performance issues (presumably because the game is rendered all at once?).
RV is such a fun classic rogue-like, it could've used a better explanation of the kill-cycle (Hide, dash and lunge, hide), and a bit less of the round-a-rosie game.
But in general, it's quite an engaging stealth focused and tactical game.
It isn't doing anything quite new, but what it does; it does well.
