![]() ![]() It’s nimble, flexible, wildly varied…and really esoteric. But what it offers is a unique character development system. The stakes aren’t as high for a few reasons (Code Vein is actually pretty easy). Because it’s so steeped in its cloying JRPG aesthetic, you don’t get any of the atmosphere, tone, or worldbuilding you might expect from a Dark Souls. I would argue that’s the main reason to play Code Vein. Because that’s what you’re getting in Code Vein. Leave it to a JRPG to come out of left field with some weird RPG character scheme. Its inscrutability in Code Vein won’t stop you.īut it’s the main reason I’ll be playing this weird little thing long after I would have given up if it were just a Dark Souls clone. It’s not going to be easy to understand, and before you fully comprehend it, you might have decided to just return to whatever other Dark Souls clone you prefer. Certainly not like anything I’ve ever seen. But to appreciate Code Vein, you have to wrap your head around something that’s initially confusing. It would be easy to fire up Code Vein, run around some of the early game areas, and conclude that it’s a Dark Souls soul in an anime body (amply bosomed ladies and androgynous boys with spiky coifs and freakishly large eyes). ![]()
