Yep, Powerman 5000, one of my favorite bands of all times, should have contributed the soundtrack for this game. The reason is obvious: “Vampire’s Gold” by PodHod is about Vampires, death and money. And I love it.

The moment you know that you messed up.

Sharp Style

“Vampire’s Gold” is a classic Sokoban Game in the form of a retro style adventure with a keen adventurer (that’s you!), golden coins and shiny diamonds (that’s what you want!) and gruesome vampires hunting you to death (that is necessary to avoid!). Although we ain’t got real-time action, but turn-based Sokoban rounds, the approaching vampires seem surprisingly threateningly and the gameplay actually kept me in suspense. I do also like the little details, that make the game even interesting at second sight. Like the chance to compress vampires into diamonds. Well, it’s a carbon-based lifeform after all. 🙂

Bloody Sounds

On the con side, I have to mention the soundscape, that is as lifeless as if a vampire sucked it dry as a bone. There is no music at all and the sounds are unintentionally funny – at best. Also, the animations are brokenly and jerky, but I don’t think, that this is a huge problem, because it sits well on a Sokoban Game. Plus, it doesn’t affect the fun factor at any point, and you’ll have a lot of fun with these countless, perfectly designed puzzles.

GOLD, always believe in your so-oul!

The Verdict

“Vampire’s Gold” is a highly enjoyable game for everyone – even if you like vampire’s or not. It’s a classic Sokoban Game with many entertaining levels, that are quite easy to master. Download the game here.
