ABOUT Vampires Dark Rising is a text-based, free to play, cross-platform, PVP role-playing game. VDR takes a fresh and exciting spin on the genre, introducing the story, characters and universe of a newly rising, vampire inhabited Darkside world. Using the native functions of smartphones, VDR players will find gameplay aspects and interaction features never-before-seen in text-based gaming. Choose your bloodline and join the Rising! WELCOME TO THE RISING Long ago a Great Purge befell our vampire kind. These were our darkest days. For one hundred years we were hunted and destroyed. So many of us fell to dust at the hands of hunters we were forced into hiding. Eventually we began to manage our existence by deceiving humanity with the belief we are a myth... that we do not exist. By now only four bloodlines remain, and we have been scattered across the globe. Knowledge of our true history is lost. Relations between bloodlines are strained. Our history is an open wound and it has left so many of us in turmoil. Covens turn on one another and bloodlines feud. Our nature has become perpetual war. Though our Dark Trinity remained silently among us, by now they have discovered a dark realm that empowers vampire kind. It is said that this rising Darkside thrives off our existence, encourages our vicious ways, protects us, and embraces the sharpness of our minds. In this very moment they are gathering up their children from across the human realm to populate the new. The remaining bloodlines are reuniting and you, vampire, have been summoned. Accept your invitation and become more powerful than you have ever been. Show Caine, Lillith and Andilaveris your worth. Tear out the heart of the past with the fist of the future and rise up... rise into legend!

I learned about how the powers work through trial and error but what I don’t get yet is what Prowls are all about? Sometimes a prowl results in winning “Spell ingredients” which I can’t find in any kind of inventory anywhere. Nothing else talks about spells, no idea what that’s for. At least prowls give do but sometimes there’s a boss fight which I’ve lost every time and I don’t know what I could be doing better. This game could use a wiki or a help page in game to explain what’s going on with some of the elements that aren’t mentioned in the tutorial. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2024-09-22, version 1.7* Great game, enjoying it so far, easy to learn, hard to put down! Only thing I would change is the app icon, change the white background to black and you have a winner. 10/10 ### 1/5 — Graphics sucked *2024-08-30, version 1.7* Looked like an old pc game, wouldn’t fit to screen and graphics very bad… couldn’t get past the log in , wasn’t worth trying ### 1/5 — Confused. *2023-01-27, version 1.7* This game has horrible graphics, yes it hasn’t been updated in 5 years but on android it was updated 4 months ago.. I don’t get why update android, but not on IOS. Game is horrible and needs to be updated on the regular 👏🏻💯 ### 2/5 — It’s good, but needs an update on IOS *2022-03-02, version 1.7* Update it Please. ### 3/5 — Developers *2021-02-20, version 1.7* Ok ### 1/5 — No *2020-07-14, version 1.7* I’m not registering for a game before I get to try it out first. Uninstalled ### 2/5 — Much better on android than iOS *2019-09-24, version 1.7* Just got the iPhone and went to play this game like I did on my previous android phone and it looks different, the energy and rage are transverse at the top. The font is smaller, the game lags more. The developers needs to upgrade this for the iOS version. ### 3/5 — Ok *2019-05-28* Not too bad ### 1/5 — Over and over *2019-05-07, version 1.7* The game is extremely boring. There is little to no variety in the missions or the battling of opponents. In addition if you run into any issues with the game the developer take a days to respond and are rude and unhelpful.
