vempire Vempire Takes A Bite Out Of The Puzzle and Strategy Genres

Vampires rule this country and there’s nothing to be done that can stop their reign.

A casual stroll through Barnes & Noble this past weekend opened my eyes to this fact as I watched teenagers, young adults, and a few people who looked to be beyond the target demographic flock to the True Blood and Twilight novels that peppered romance and fantasy sections. Whether you think that sparkly, emo bloodsuckers are the epitome of fiction, or further proof f the softening of America, you can’t deny the recent impact of the vampire.

Impressionware is looking to appeal to vampire-lovers with Vempire, a casual puzzle game for Sony’s handhelds that asks players to collect artifacts, summon minions, and collect powers to be used during the levels. Strategic thinking will be required to tackle the various different levels and the monsters the player will challenge to become king of the monster empire. Vempire is available now from the PSN.
