It is worth mentioning that there will be enemy NPCs on the battlefield with “physical meetings”. In the background story, they are a group of organizations that specialize in hunting vampires. Therefore, when encountering players, they will open fire indiscriminately, so you need to be very careful.

And the most interesting part of the game is the finishing technique “squeeze” after the enemy is knocked down. As long as the player is close to the knocked down enemy player, they can use “squeeze” to replenish life and state.
