  The disconnect between what this game promises and what it delivers is Daikatana-grade. It's a 3rd person action demo that has the feel of someone playing around with a game engine to make a few very basic, very small levels. <*>You spawn into the world with zero explanation of who you are, why you're there, or what you're supposed to do. <*>You run around a few very short levels, avoiding blue water bottles that explode on contact, collecting gold things that look like Batman logos but which have no discernible purpose other than to be collected, and grabbing sparkly, lightning looking things (presumably power daggers) so you can engage in combat. <*>Combat means moving up to various spandex-clad people and repeatedly clicking your mouse button, which generates a basic punching animation complete with 1960's Batman punching sounds. You know you've won when your target stops moving and stands stock-still for five seconds, before (sometimes) immediately transitioning to a dead-on-the-ground model. <*>Saving doesn't work. Loading restarts the entire "game". <*>The excitement, eeriness, mystery, sophistication, variety of situations, complex designs, joy, sense of accomplishment, development of play style, outmaneuvering enemies, using combat skills (other than repeatedly clicking the mouse), increasing financial wealth (other than collecting Batman tokens), and epic elegant drama promised in the description are not present. <*>The tags assigned to this game are a gross abuse of the tag system. Rogue-like? Seriously? <*>The music was OK for what's supposed to be a vampire game. The levels, short as they were, looked nice. Music and models, however, do not a game make.
