On this week’s episode of the K J and A Podcast, we gear up and get gothic as we dive into Code Vein, the anime-style Soulslike that dropped us into a stylish post-apocalyptic world full of vampires, bosses, and betrayal.

From the combat system and companion mechanics to the fashion and lore, we talk about what worked, what felt clunky, and whether this game deserves more love than it got at launch.

In this episode:







Code Vein’s world, characters, and “anime vampire trauma”





How the combat stacks up against Dark Souls or Elden Ring





Our favorite weapons and blood codes





The balance between difficulty and accessibility





Whether we want a sequel or spiritual successor





If you like action RPGs with heavy style, dramatic cutscenes, and boss fights that punch you in the soul, this one’s for you.
