You Can Customize Your Play Style to a Ridiculous Degree
Souls-like games have always been about letting you play the way you want, but Code Vein truly lets you customize your own playstyle to a tee.
The biggest way this happens is with the game’s Blood Codes, which essentially function as classes. Across the experience, you’ll unlock a wealth of different Blood Codes, and each one has its own stat boosts and unique Gifts (abilities).
The best part is that you can master Gifts by using them, which then enables you to equip them while using other Blood Codes. There’s a huge amount of Gits, and mixing and matching can really let you create the class that you want.
On top of all that you have two different weapon slots, and while there are only five weapons types, there’s a lot of variation within each type. What I mean by that is that weapons within the same type will attack differently, so two one-handed swords might have different animations and attacks.
The final pieces of all this is your Blood Veil, a piece of equipment you put on. Blood Veils strengthen stats, the power of some Gifts, damage you take from certain types, resistance to status effects, and more.
They play directly into the differences between Blood Codes, and provide even more customization over your experience.
Combine all of these elements together and you have truly a staggering number of options for creating your very own style.
