The 10 Best Vampire Games Of All Time Ranked – Looper

Fantasy worlds filled with dragons and elves also tend to feature legions of undead, and the "Warhammer" fantasy franchise is no different. While this classic setting sports many prominent living armies such as Dwarfs, Humans, and Orcs, it also features undead forces, including the Vampire Counts.

As the name suggests, "Total War: Warhammer" is a "Warhammer"-themed entry in Creative Assembly's long-running "Total War" series. The game features the series-standard strategic warfare, lengthy campaigns, and negotiation tactics, just with a fantasy paint-job. Moreover, each army utilizes unique strategies and tech trees. For instance, the Vampire Counts, when played out of the box, tend to bury enemies under a tidal wave of bones and rotting flesh. They make up for a lack of ranged weapons with a ton of flying units and the ability to make skeletons literally jump out of enemy skins and beat the living to death with rusty swords.

"Total War: Warhammer" also follows the proud "Total War" tradition of building on previous entries with DLC and sequels. Each new game is compatible with older titles and includes new units, campaigns, armies, and reworks. "Total War: Warhammer 2," for example, introduced the series' second vampire army, the Vampire Coast, via DLC. Unlike the classic gothic creeps of the Vampire Counts, this army is a legion of vampire pirates backed by waterlogged zombies, mammoth-sized hermit crabs, and cannibalistic torsos.

"Total War: Warhammer" is an honorary vampire game, since its undead armies are outnumbered by living forces such as Elves, Dwarfs, and Lizardmen. Still, it'sa great game any strategy fan should check out.
