Milky Way Prince: The Vampire Star Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
With some creative mechanics and interesting subject matter, Milky Way Prince — A Vampire Star was good but I wish it had been done better and handled with more care.
As you begin Milky Way Prince - The Vampire Star, you are met with a warning detailing the serious themes of abuse and mental health that may be triggering for
But that doesn’t automatically mean the outcome is an experience that’s worth playing. Ultimately, Milky Way Prince – The Vampire Star is too outlandish for its own good and doesn’t make for a satisfying game in its current form. Its audiovisual design is commendable, but with awkward dialogue, peculiar scenes and a hard to follow story, it’s very hard to recommend.
This tale demands more detail. It requires more time spent in filling out the world and its characters. If the game had spent more time on these points, we’d be looking at one hell of a harrowing and affecting story. As it stands right now though, Milky Way Prince feels like a massively missed opportunity.
Exploring an essential subject with claustrophobic, surrealist verve, Milky Way Prince feels like the first steps of a future master.
