We Love It's Guide to…

CODE VEIN

You play as a Revenant, a vampire-like being who wakes in a devastated world with no memory of the past. Travel with allies, uncover memories, and face the Lost—creatures that threaten the remaining Revenants. Fight with weapons such as swords, axes, spears, and bayonets, using dodges, blocks, and attacks to take on enemies. Blood Codes act as changeable classes that alter your stats and provide Gifts; Blood Veils let you drain enemies to gain Ichor for those abilities. You can mix learned skills across builds. Explore connected dungeon areas, battle enemies and bosses, and find gear and memory fragments as you progress. Level up and upgrade equipment, choose an AI companion or play solo, and team up with a friend in co-op.

An amnesiac Revenant battles monsters in a ruined world, swaps combat classes, and uncovers the past alongside allies.
