![]() There are a number of restrictions that make this only possible in certain areas, but having a real person helping out can make a big difference to the entire Code Vein experience, as the AI companions are occasionally a little on the dumb side, letting you die rather than reviving you. Well, I say AI helper, but there is nothing better than being able to send distress signals to invite other real life players to come to your aid instead. They have but one purpose in mind – to reduce you and your AI helper to dust. ![]() They range from slightly larger versions of the enemy types found in the early game, right through to screen filling monstrosities at the end of the run. Having sorted yourself out, it’s time to take on the bosses, and boy are they a varied bunch. Sometimes you can find shortcuts back to previous areas as well, which makes life a lot easier. Usually there is a Mistle waiting to be activated (refilling your healing ability) that will allow you to respawn without having to fight your way to the boss again. Without a word of a lie, you don’t want to go and fight these guys with only one healing charge left (think Estus flask, right down to the way that you can find extra charges and make it more effective), so backtrack and look in all the corners that you missed. One pro tip I will offer is this: If you get to the boss room and you haven’t seen a Mistle since the start of the level, then you’ve missed a bit and should backtrack. Now every gamer knows that this layout means a boss encounter, and you’ll not be disappointed with Code Vein. As you are checking out the mini map, you see that you are in a long corridor and, just ahead, is a large circular room. So, in the Dark Souls way, as you progress through levels, you have to explore, find useful items, unlock Mistles, before coming to the point that every player of these types of games comes to dread. Once a Revenant becomes Lost, there’s no way back, and the only cure is to turn them into dust, by destroying their hearts. The downside of this parasite is that it creates a thirst for blood, and if the bloodthirst isn’t slaked, then the Revenant goes into a frenzy and becomes a member of the Lost unthinking creatures who live to kill. We are Revenants, immortal soldiers created by having a BOR parasite injected into our hearts, which basically makes us unable to die as long as our heart remains intact. Launching into the story we are found in a dystopian post-apocalypse world, and despite how grim the landscape is, there are still those fighting for the side of good. And so, my lady vampire, complete with cat ears, three crowns and David Bowie style mismatched eyes, was ready to rumble. And best of all, if you played the demo and spent a silly amount of time creating your ideal character, then you can import their appearance across to the full game. ![]() Every little detail about your character can be tweaked, from things like the gender and build type, to the colour of individual eyes not just the iris, but the eye as a whole. ![]() And the character generation screen in what Bandai have produced is one of the most comprehensive I’ve ever seen. The first thing that you have to do when starting off with Code Vein is to design your character.
