  Basically the pc game equivalent of an old VHS tape. I owned this on disc back in the day, and still had to buy it on steam to revisit it. It's such an odd experience. Because of the clunky controls and mandatory heavy grain-effect, this feels like a distant memory, even as you play it. I firmly believe this game is best enjoyed alone, at night-time, under a full moon, while severly drunk on absinthe.

  An overall pretty good experience. It's actually short enough to keep you entertained for one evening (I saw the ending after 4.5 hours). The obsolete graphics and the bulky melee controls may dissapoint you at first, but after getting into the game for about 1.5 hours, you'll really begin to enjoy it. Try to save your family from the fangs of the evil Count! The Good: + Atmosphere + Fast game pace and progression + Weapons + Story and concept + Enemies (bosses included) The Bad: - Some minor bugs (like invisible enemies) - Some minor illogicalities (like the procedure to save the last two family members) - Quite short The Ugly: - The graphics, oh gawd... Give this game a shot and don't forget to install the [url=http://steamcommunity.com/app/283290/discussions/0/558749824447724161/]widescreen resolution patch[/url] as well. I've seen way worse titles from that era. [b]7/10[/b] By the way, this game includes one of the most badass grandfathers of all times. You have been warned.

  The game is very fun aside from having some bot enemies getting stuck on certain locations, but that happens rarely. The story is very interesting and unique where your mission is to try and save all your family members and friends from getting hunted down and sacrificed to the Almighty Malachi who Nosferatu tries to resurrect. Depending on the family members and friends you save, you will be rewarded with power ups and weapon unlocks plus an unlimited supply of health given the form of being a doctor. There are moments in the game where you have to conserve your ammo if you are trigger happy, using your cane sword to slash and hack enemies, but my favorite combo is impaling the demons of the night with a stake then finish them off by beating them to a bloody pulp. In the story, there will be many bosses to face like about six unfortunately due to the game being a bit short, but still an entertaining game it is if you don't speed run and enjoy the dark atmosphere surrounding the castle and scaring yourself when enemies appear out of nowhere. Overall, the game is a great survival horror and makes you feel the adrenaline rush since you are giving a specific amount of time to save your family and friends. My advice though, is to save the Holy would be victims since you'll be given a very powerful and overpowered weapon that King Arthur's Knights were trying to find, but good thing you have it.

  [h1]Can you save your family from the clutches of evil?![/h1] [i]Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi[/i] is an intriguing game and story where you are James Patterson; The man who's sister is about to be married to the Count of a Romanian family and you happen to be arriving late. Surprise! The count and his entire family are made up of vampires and you and your family are on the dinner menu. There are several things about this game that may positively or negatively influence your opinion so it's good to be aware of what you're buying. [*]What works: +[b]Music:[/b] Built to increase tension, Nosferatu's score consists of several ambient tracks and string arrangements that can easily keep you on your toes as you venture through the castle. +[b]Ranged Combat:[/b] The gunplay is very satisfying and explosive. There is nothing quite like waiting for that one ghoul to pop around the corner just so you can flintlock him in the face. +[b]Level Design:[/b] Imagine Castlevania type theming with all the exploratory rooms you could ask for. Oh and it's randomly generated. +[b]Enemy Difficulty:[/b] While not overbearing or a slap on the wrist, nothing screams good mechanics like the feeling that it's all your fault when you lose health or die. [*]What doesn't quite work -[b]Melee Combat:[/b] Chunky and reminiscent of games where they were just testing this kind of thing out. Like Daikatana. -[b]Hilarious Physics Bugs:[/b] I suppose you've always wanted to walk into a chest, be subsequently tossed into the air and make a loud "umph" as you slap against the floor. No? Well okay too bad then. -[b]AI From Hell:[/b] The AI characters really love getting stuck trying to follow you. This includes any obstacles or doors in your way. God forbid you have to escort more than one at any time. Overall, I recommend Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi because it's still very enjoyable and easy to get into despite the silly glitches. 7.5/10 Knock yourself out

  Ill get the most important points out of the way quick. Is this game older? Yes. 2003 to be precise. Does its age show in graphics? Yes, despite being around the same time as games like Unreal Tournament 2003/4, its still a very old and barebones game, visually. But is it fun? Quite so. The very first time you go through this game, you will be slow, unsure and downright inefficient. Youll use your precious ammo in far too high a quantity on enemies that you could slap down with ease. Youll walk into easily avoidable traps... and.. oh yeah, some of the people you are there to save WILL DIE. The very first time i went through this game, despite all the difficulties i had due to various members of the group dying (and hence i dont get the items they give you) it was one of the most enjoyable times of gaming. I recently bought it when i saw it was on steam (it actually disappeared from most locations you could get it for a few years, basically requiring a torrent to acquire), and played through it again. Despite finishing it easily in less than a couple of hours, it still remained just as enjoyable from the very start to end. You are given multiple weapons, with varying uses and effectiveness of each one. You start with just a cane sword and stakes to begin with, but then acquire the flintlock pistol (and a short time later the rifle too, but its basically just a slightly more powerful and ranged flintlock pistol). Then if you do well enough youll find the revolver, grail and machine gun. But funnily enough, the pistol and rifle are actually powerful enough to get you through the majority of the game, so it still remains playable no matter how badly you are doing. Now, the focus of this game is to save your family members and kill the big boss vampire and his minions. Typical story, but useful enough in this situation. There are two ways your family members get killed in this: 1. You take too long to find them. Every few in game hours one of your family members dies off in order, assuming you havent saved that one already. Meaning if you take too long to find someone, they get killed and you cant open their suitcase to get their item (some of which are VERY useful). 2. They get killed when youre bringing them back to the entrance. THIS PROBABLY WILL HAPPEN. Just saying this right now. Theres a good chance that the unfortunately terrible AI that control your family will get them killed more than once. When enemies attack they immediately either fart themselves into a corner in panic, or run a short distance away like an idiot. And once youve gone forward and cleared the enemies, you have to go back and tell the morons to start following you again. The fun part is when theyve followed you, but you still have to stop and walk back to them every 20ft because theyve gotten stuck on a box, or wall, or door that closed in their face and they somehow lack the ability to open it now. And if youre lucky, the MIGHT not lose half their health as they sprint down stairs and take fall damage. (your own character can do this quite frequently too.). Now, That might make the game sound frustrating at best, but as long as you save your game frequently its not the biggest issue. Also, unfortunately due to the simplicity of this game, i cant really describe much more without giving out spoilers or ruining parts of the game, but lets just say that the map is quite brilliantly designed. It weaves in and around itself, giving you more shortcuts and back paths as you acquire more keys and access the doors between rooms and floors. There are many hidden caches of items that are sometimes a savior, and other times a nasty trap to lure you into rooms. Unfortunately the whole "Enemy hiding above doorway" idea is overused to all hell and becomes trivial when you hear the audio cue upon opening a door. Or just looking up and seeing the extended lintel. But anyway, This is a real gem of a game, and despite its flaws and pains its a enjoyable experience. Truly one of the games of the last many years which really grasped the idea of how to make progressive and atmostpheric gameplay. A game which truly didnt rely on its graphics to sell it. Twilight Stress Relief Simulator/10. Recommended.

  This is a delightfully old-school experience, with a managable difficulty setting and great features that will keep you coming again. I first played this when I was a kid, and it freaked me out a lot. It was scary back then, before the HD era. Nowadays, sure - it looks really outdated. But it's systems are not. Part roguelike, part metroidvanian FPS survival-horror experience, this game is sure to keep you engaged for quite some time. Even after all of these years, with the automatic upscalling and all, the game looks pretty good on a modern monitor. The graphics glitch out sometimes, but it's not something a game restart can't fix. Even now, in 2015, you can see all the work that went into this - it oozes with atmosphere and the creep factor never drops. Even all the typical moments of the old times seem cute now - like struggling to find your path because of "logical" game design (this castle Malachai's architect is probably the same one who designed Dracula's). Puzzles are never too easy, neither too hard. The hardest thing is memorizing the environment, as it's a large Castle and, well - you have no map, which actually adds to the experience in my opinion. The game's "Random Castle" perk is probably one of it's most notable features - each time you start, the castle is different. And the difficulties do a lot to change up things too. There's a lot to discover, a great challange and ... well, I'm not gonna spoil it. If you're into horror and you don't mind it beeing old and not super-high-spec-HD, get this game. If you are a fan of old-school horror movies, you should try it also. The game is absolutely modeled after the Hammer-era horror movies. This game is a FPS metroidvania and it's awesome for being just that. When I was a kid, this is what I expected the "new" Castlevania games to be like. They weren't, but hey - this game is still awesome. I absolutely recommend it! All in All: + Random Castle in Each New Game + Great Atmosphere + Still Holds Up + A thing that I should not spoil but it's awesome and you will know what it is if you play the game + Fun! + Good scares, different each time! - It looks outdated, mainly because of the low res options - It's a hard game, even on easy, in the beggining, until you get the hang of it - Graphical glitches on newer hardware Overall, as a old-school fan, I rate this a solid 8/10 for awesome atmoshpere and fantastic fun factor! If you are not a old-school fan and you want to try it out, consider the rating to be a 6.5/10 - it will be fun if you manage to get into it.
