Ratalaika Games and Hanako Games present “Cute Bite,” a charming vampire-raising simulator on the PlayStation 5. If you’ve been curious about what this game brings to the table, stay tuned for our detailed review!
In “Cute Bite,” you step into the shoes of a butler, devotedly serving a vampire mistress. However, upon awakening from a rather lengthy nap, your mistress finds herself in a pint-sized, child-like form. Now, she lacks the strength to shield you as effectively as before. It’s up to you to nurture the Little Mistress, so she can regain her powers. She needs blood, as well as a fair share of fame and fortune, to flourish back to her original state. This intriguing adventure shares some of the engaging mechanics found in the previous offering from this developer duo, “Long Live the Queen.”
As you navigate daily choices for your little vampiress, deciding her activities will be crucial for enhancing her stats. The game also throws in some dialogue decisions that impact her journey. You’ll need to juggle these options while keeping an eye on her physical and mental well-being. Occasionally, a well-deserved rest will be necessary to replenish her energy. Don’t forget that feeding is essential, and sometimes, spending your hard-earned gold on items might just give her the boost she needs.
Daily classes are on the roster to elevate her abilities. Each session impacts her stats, but they come at a cost—physical, mental, and even financial. As classes advance in level, the expenses rise, so it’s important to strategize. You can enhance her skills in a variety of areas such as Technology, Style, Strength, and beyond. Given the costs, a few odd jobs here and there might be necessary to fund her education, although it’s vital to manage the stress levels that come with it.
For trophy enthusiasts, “Cute Bite” offers a complete set, crowned with a Platinum trophy for your collection. This game benefits from Cross-Buy, meaning you can enjoy it on both PS4 and PS5, each boasting its own trophy list. To secure that coveted Platinum, you’re tasked with challenges like defeating enemies, winning an arm wrestling match, or winning hearts along the journey.
In summary, “Cute Bite” provides a fun blend of strategy and narrative as you guide your Little Mistress back to her former glory. Your purchase of this title for $14.99 allows Cross-Buy access to both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions, each fostering its own challenging trophy lists to conquer.
