Our take on Sanguine 3
The game trades a fully predictable campaign structure for repeated runs through a subset of its stages. That choice adds route and boss variation, but each playthrough covers only 7 of the 15 available stages.
What is Sanguine 3?
Control Eleanor, a vampire moving through a side-scrolling platformer that combines stealth with action.
Humans can be abducted and drained for health, while fresh blood increases speed for longer when the blood reserve is fuller. Movement includes wall climbing, ceiling traversal, sliding, midair platform grabs, tumbling, and a wing power-up that increases upward movement during falls. Enemies add further hazards: slime acts as hit points but can overflow and cause an explosion, while frost slows Eleanor and grants immunity to fire damage. Each playthrough includes 7 of 15 stages, with multiple routes, distinct bosses, hidden keys, and gates leading to more difficult areas.
How Sanguine 3 plays
- 01Blood-based movement
- Draining victims restores health, while a fuller blood reserve extends the speed increase from bloodlust.
- 02Acrobatic traversal
- Wall movement, ceiling slides, midair platform grabs, and tumbling provide different ways to cross stages.
- 03Branching playthroughs
- A run selects 7 stages from a total of 15, with alternate routes, different bosses, and additional areas behind hidden-key gates.
- 04Enemy status effects
- Slime can fill the blood bar and create explosive danger, while frost reduces movement speed but blocks fire damage.
