Deadhaus Sonata Preview (PC)

Deadhaus Sonata is a vampire game that has been in development for many years now, and it’s finally in our hands, albeit in early access. While I generally like playing any vampire game that I get my hands on, Deadhaus Sonata is different because it’s directed by Denis Dyack, the creative mind behind Blood Omen and Eternal Darkness. Having someone connected to the beloved Legacy of Kain games brings a lot of expectations, so how does the game fare?

Right off the bat, you will notice that despite being an indie game, the title does have an impressive scope. The game world is large, albeit formulaic and linear at times. There are various enemies coming in, and you are slowly learning all kinds of new skills. You get accustomed to the attack system, figure out how to jump and use various skillsets, and even deal with bosses you find along the way.

I am a fan of the gothic style that they went with, as it adds a lot of intrigue. While some enemy types can be repetitive...
