Me and 3 of my friends purchased this game spending £50 between us and hoping for many unforgettable experiences hunting Dracula. What we got were 2 evenings of disappointment and frustration, after which we decided we wasted enough of our time and this game is simply unplayable. There are 3 massive problems with this game that make multiplayer experience absolutely horrible: 1) LAGS, BUGS AND FREEZES. Be prepared …

There are mixed reviews here and all are valid – it depends what you want from this game. I have this game digitally and in cardboard, but have only played the digitally game locally (solo), so I have no experience with the multi-player options. Yes, playing the local game as Dracula is impossible to lose (unless you do it deliberately !); The AI for the hunters is very weak and consistency illogical. It is fun, …

This seems to be a pretty faithful conversion of the board game to a digital format. The rules work well, and the game is very good. But... I don't have a lot of boardgame-playing friends, so I mostly buy them on Steam to play solo, and the AI for this game is poor. You have to work pretty hard to play badly enough for it to beat you. It fails to make basic deductions that any human player could see and frequently …

I give this a marginal thumbs up at this point. It's a good, faithful adaptation of the board game, and the soundtrack is very good, but the hunter A.I. is, how shall I put this, laughable. The Dracula A.I. has some good tricks, but even that has some moves that leave you scratching your head. Overall, that is the biggest issue for me right now, and if that gets fixed, this game will no doubt be my favorite digital …

In 2010 I was elated. Why? Because I had managed to find a used copy of Fury of Dracula for the low low price of ninety dollars plus shipping. Double retail for a used copy that had a torn box. A steal of a deal. Fury of Dracula always sells out whenever it’s reprinted. Partly due to complicated rights disputes limiting volume but mostly due to it being a fantastic game. The joke at the time was “the real challenge …

This game is built on the 1 v 4 concept and I bought this for me and my brother to play online with 3 other people and NOPE! we can't even team up to learn it together but were forced to fight each other out the jump.

I was hoping to use this to try out some strategies 1v1 against AI so the complaints about no 4v1 online (initially) didnt bother me. The AI is beyond stupid. Mina knows Im not in a region and then Godalming and Seward both play cards checking locations in that region. I had them swarming into Spain long after I'd gone to sea and the AI continued to keep checking the same…

But the AI for the Vampire hunters is pretty dumb, ignoring essential clues that I left on purpose to give it a chance after winning 5 games in a row as Dracula, still, the AI decided I was all the way to the other side of the map when 3 of the investigators were 2 cities away from me…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Omg ! So many quality of life and basic UI things missing ... No drag and drop, no highlight around the current player that must act ... Everything feels clumsy. This is a game from another age ... Can be blocked during action, nothing to click to unlock ... Save game is not loading ! BUGS BUGS ... Very disapointed for a licence such as this one ... Refunded.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Single player AI is completely braindead. So I convinced a friend to pick up the game since it was on sale, and we tried to play multiplayer. Oops, no, that doesn't work either. The game hangs at the first loading screen after trying to start a multiplayer game. Assuming it worked I'd like to give it a good recommendation, as it appears to be a good translation of the board game, but if the multiplayer doesn't work that's gamebreaking due to the aforementioned useless AI.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I own a copy of the tabletop version of this game. It's quite nice to look at and play. The rules however have continued to be a mess, so I was excited at the idea of having a version that made firm decisions about all of the weird rules calls needed to make the game function. This version does do that, but it doesnt explain most of it. You're left making strategic decisions with very little input, and often you cannot back up once you've clicked an action. Graphically the game is ugly as sin.…

I've played a few times against the AI as I wanted to knock the rust off before playing actual people and boy did I find some problems. First the good. The game looks beautiful. The tutorials seem pretty good, but I already knew how to play so take that with a grain of salt. The game is way faster than the actual board game. Now the bad. My biggest problem is the AI. It's awful. Hopefully that will get better…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fine example of form over function. The game is slow, not because of the game play, but because of the way the dev has chosen to make every action 'elegant'. Mouse scrolling doesn't work, you have to actually click on a button to zoom. Nor can you scroll the map using your mouse. There is no save function. I had to quit my first game because Van Helsing was recouperating, but when he was supposed to come back all his actions were greyed out, and I had no option to move forward. It's nice…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Comes recommended for Bram Stoker fans and wanting a decent online board game. Unfortunately anyone looking for a solo experience against the AI is going to be sorely disappointed! The main issue here is in the description. Leading players to believe theres a decent solo mode.... There isn't. And although through the many patches and updates that have arrived. With developers mentioning they were looking into difficulty sliders. Improved AI . What exists and still unaddressed. Is a very thin…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →How does a group of people screw up such a wonderful board game. I could get around the poor art and graphics if the UI and other aspects were somewhere close to usable. TL:DR Don't waste money on this, play it on Tabletop Simulator or better yet buy the real board game. No way to click and drag the game board around, you have to click a button in the top right corner to zoom. Then in zoomed mode you can only move the map around by clicking on the cities. Need to see the other side of the…

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm a big fan of Fury of Dracula board game. I've spent a lot of time with my friends playing IRL version of this game. So I bought digital... And this one is disappointing. Where do I begin? There is dozens of well known bugs. Players report about new ones almost every day in official Discord channel. Developers are well aware of them but won't change a thing. Some moments are in contradiction with the rules of FoD 4th edition, some mechanics non-working even with their own digital rules.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has a serious bug that makes it unplayable. The game will hang during combat and the only way to fix is to restart the game. This makes it completely unplayable online, and the fix only works vs AI about 1 in 3 times. Don't purchase!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When people say the AI is bad, they are grossly overestimating its abilities. On round two of my first game, one of the hunters played a card that reveals the third card on Dracula's trail. There is no third card on round two. If that weren't bad enough, the next hunter did the exact same thing! One of those hunters then spent five turns taking no action other than moving back and forth between Venice and the Adriatic Sea. I'd honestly be surprised if it's even possible to lose to the AI.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I purchased this game when it was first released in 2020. It was mostly broken then, a ton of bugs that made it unplayable, the multiplayer was just for two players and it would crash nearly every time while also getting a lot of card interactions wrong. The UI needed vast improvements and the single player AI was absolutely horrible. Sadly, not much has changed since then. I believe the developers just wanted a quick cash grab at the time but have not spent a whole lot of time to actually work…

positive · AI labelView post →"Fury of Dracula: Digital Edition" is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. The game is a digital version of a somewhat clunky and unpopular Games Workshop boardgame with a Bram Stoker kind of Dracula theme where you do general vampire lair management stuff against other players... it makes more sense as a boardgame, but also compares poorly to other boardgames like Twilight Imperium, Risk, Axis and Allies,…

neutral · AI labelView post →The 3D map graphics are poor and lack clarity. Panning the map when zoomed in is difficult, not sure if it's supposed to be locked in place or it's just janky because sometimes it moves and sometimes not. Most annoyingly every player action is presented as a full screen popup and interacting with some of these popups to select and discard cards/tickets is confusing. Overall the UI/UX is pretty bad, elements are nicely themed visually but it's painful interacting with popups all the time. I…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is simply not a finished product. Disregarding the lack of 1v4 at launch, there are so many core UI features that no game today should ship without, such as a simple card log (what was just played?), game state review during action (choice window obsucres map that I need to see to make an informed decision), map pan, and animation speed toggle (when a digital adaptation runs slower than the physical version, you know you need to speed things up), not to mention a plethora of bugs.

I can't conceive how come they utterly missed most of those networking issues, how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the UX flow works and how lame the overall experience is. Don't get me wong, it's a great game, but coded by ppl who should be banned from getting close to a keyboard in 30 lifetimes. Buy the tabletop version if you cherish your game time. Games Workshop…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really only interested in single-player, so the new Steam Achievements are a big step, as will the upcoming mobile port. But I haven't played this much in the meantime. The biggest feature for me would be the addition of single-player challenges or a campaign. Without some targets, the single-player sandbox mode gets stale for me
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hadn't played this game since the 1st edition that came out in the 80s. Back then three Hunters chased a nearly-impotent Dracula around the map, eventually slaying him. Nearly every time, anyway. Dracula had hidden movement behind a screen, and left some rumors in his wake, but the damnable hunter cards would give him away at horrible times, and if you encountered him he would get caught during the day more than half the time (you rolled a die, but the hunters had more cards) - a vampire…

I found myself actively engaging the hunters while playing as Dracula because I was so bored just wandering around with no threat of them even coming close to finding me. I do not know how this game plays as multiplayer, but if that's your preference then do not include any AI. Beyond the horrible AI, the nit-picky things to complain about…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →since the paper version is currently out of stock I thought that i would give this a try. This game is fun, but the AI is garbage. The only real way to play this game is to play it multiplayer, which means that you and most likely your friends will be shelling out a min of $40 for 2 copies or $100+ for 5 copies. Just go buy any physical bored game or play it on table top sim. This game could be fun on a pass and play tablet, if you really want to play fury of dracula, but not on a desktop
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Game is slow. I don't mean that in the expected "it takes time to play" way, but in that all of the animations and movements of game pieces take time. A long time. It is never more apparent than when moving across sea tiles. There is no option to speed this movement up. The art is... passable. The major character portraits for the 4 hunters: Van Helsing, Lord Godalming, Dr. John Seward, Mina Harker, and Count Dracula, are beautifully rendered and of a decently high resolution. The other…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was shocked to find that this game actually had a beta test. WIth all of the bugs, it never should have left beta. Playing vs. AI will work half of the time, but the AI is worse than horrible. Playing multiplayer, forget it. I actually don't mind that the only multiplayer is 1v1 where 1 player controls Dracula and the other, the hunters. There is no way to play 4v1. For every one game that I can finish, at least four or five get frozen with absolutely no way to rejoin. The devs even said they…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has promise, but it's not quite ready for prime time. There are just a few frustrating UI issues that need to be resolved (e.g. the ability freely scroll around the map when zoomed in). Sometimes I found that my figures obscured the board so I couldn't select certain cities or clearly see where routes went. However, by far my biggest complaint was how the AI misused the "Wolf Form" power. This caused me to be unable to determine where Dracula could have gone because the AI was breaking…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not a looker but then I didn't get this game for its looks. It does do a great job at replicating the board game and throws in some nice bells and whistles. The music is great, the atmosphere feels right, and it's core mechanics are mostly sound. The reason for the down vote for me is the A.I... As a new player I played as Dracula because I was looking forward to trying to outwit the hunters... It was WAY too easy to do. They just seemed to move around like headless chickens and…
