The Most Notable Vampires In Video Games


Surprisingly, blood suckers aren’t as common in video games as you might expect. They might appear as a generic type of enemy, and of course there are a few of them in the Castlevania series. We collected some of these vampires, paying attention to leave out those who like to carry people on their backs.

Bodhi (Baldur’s Gate 2: Shadows Of Amn)

This former elf is the scariest thing ever created that has anything to do with elves. Geez those random entries!

Demitri Maximoff (DarkStalkers: The Night Warriors)

Probably the only vampire in the world that looks like Phoenix Wright on steroids.

Vamp (Metal Gear Solid series)

Even if he is not a real one, he’s got all the abilities — and the right to be on this list as well.

Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII)

Just as Vamp, Vincent is rather a result of an experiment than a natural born vampire, but the similarities are quite obvious.

Rachel Alucard (BlazBlue series)

An arrogant vampire, who — according to her bio — even likes tea. She probably has high blood pressure.

Vorador (Legacy Of Kain series)

The main characers Kain or Raziel should have been the obvious choices, but Vorador — who also has a major role — looks just so much cooler.

Alucard and Dracula (Castlevania series)

At least these legendary guys bring back something from the classic Dracula look.

Jeanette Voerman (Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines)

Both Vampire games — Redemption and Bloodlines — are full of vampires (sounds incredible, right?) but the only possible pick is this memorable NPC from the second game.

Jericho Cross (Darkwatch)

The weird western-steampunk hybrid style, mixed with classic vampire lore made this character (and the game!) really exciting.

Rayne (BloodRayne)

One of those female vampires that look badass rather than cute — and there’s absolutely no problem with that.
