Code Vein - (PC) Steam RU/CIS Digital Key
Code Vein for PC is an action role playing game, set in a dystopian future
world, when humans have weaponised the dead, turning them into a massive army of
vampiric revenants designed to battle monsters who have emerged mysteriously all
over the place.
ABOUT THE GAME
You play as a revenant, awakening in the remains of a city called Vein. You are
guided by a girl, dressed all in white, called Io, who serves as instruction
manual, map and guide for the first few moments of gameplay.
The game is large open world, although there are many doorways which only open
one way, so a player must be satisfied that they have unlocked all the secrets
and discovered all the hidden power-ups, treasures and so on in one area before
moving on to the next.
The ending is equally open-ended, with several endings depending on how well the
game was played. If the Revenant has been very successful, and brought many
comrades along to the final scenes, it plays out one way, whereas if few have
survived, or if the Revenant is alone, then a different scenario plays out.
FACTS ABOUT REVENANTS
Revenants, being something like zombies, but with significant differences, are
brought back to life by having a parasitic organism attached to their hearts –
think something like a creepy and fleshy pace-maker – and can thenceforth only
be killed if their hearts are destroyed.
Revenants do not need or crave brains, instead – this is where the vampiric bit
comes in – they need human blood for nourishment and fend off the advent of
mindlessness. Revenants that do not get a sufficient supply of human blood
become subject to a frenzy that transforms them into cannibalistic beasts that
cannot be reasoned with.
In order to ensure a plentiful supply of nutrients for Revenants, there are
Bloodspring plants which produce Blood Beads – a sort of ready meal for
Revenants. However, of late, production of Blood Beads has begun to fall, so
more Revenants are threatened with becoming Frenzied, as it is known.
INTENSELY DETAILED AVATAR BUILDING
This game has seriously pushed the boat out when it comes to building your
playing character. Settle in and be prepared to spend a good long time
perfecting every single detail about your character in a way that you have
seldom seen before.
Hair colour: you can not only choose any colour under the sun for your
character’s hair, but once you click on the colour – say, green – you get a
slider with hundreds of shades of green so you can very precisely choose the
exact shade of marine turquoise with a hint of petit pois that you want your
character to sport
Hair style: as with the colour, there are hundreds of styles to choose from, and
once you have selected one – say, medium-length pony-tail with a loose curl,
parting on the left with some soft spikes on top (yes, they are that detailed!)
you can then tweak it for fullness by adding more hair, trim the length
slightly, fatten or thin out the ponytail, and add a number of other tweaks
besides
Eye details: as well as the usual eye shapes and colours, with this game you
have more of both of those options, as well as choices about eyelash length and
colour, pupil size and shape – lime green almond-shaped eyes with a vertical
cats-eye pupil? Easily done!
Clothing trim: not only can you choose the character’s wardrobe, picking out
tailoring and colouring to suit, you can lengthen, shorten or completely remove
collars, add buckles and straps as needed and perform any of a number of
sartorial tweaks that will make your avatar stand out from the Revenant crowd
Scars: that’s right, you can add scars to your playing character, aligning it
the way you like, making it bigger or smaller and placing it precisely where you
want it to go, so you can make up a compelling backstory for the character and
give them scars to fit their story!
