I like the general premise and the setting is a really interesting idea, but a lot of it is bogged down from very boring combat, and a story requires me to REALLY care about the characters, which sucks since all of them are either very unmemorable or annoying.

Side note: Can we stop trying to give individual interpretations of classic monster names. In this game they have both Vampires and Ghoules but they use these really stupid sounding names for them, for "classic" vampires they call them "Ekons", and for Ghouls, they call them "Skals"; which is literally the same thing as a Ghoul right down to how you create one so why not just call it a Ghoul.
I know it's just a nitpick and I don't want people to take this critique as some damming smoking gun, but I find stuff like that to generally be hallow world building and needless changes to stand out. They did the same things with zombies only that made more sense since zombies can be so many types of zombies since the idea of a zombie is so flexible, Vampires and Ghouls are not.
