The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who want a story-driven vampire RPG where schemes, allies, and survival choices shape the city around them.: Every night asks you to weigh thirst, risk, and favors owed, and each choice becomes another move in a long game against the city. Tradeoff: Tracking many systems at once adds mental load, so the game can feel slow for players who want quick action.

What you are walking into
"Nighthawks is the brand new urban fantasy RPG from Wadjet Eye Games (The Blackwell Legacy, Unavowed, Technobabylon) and writer/designer Richard Cobbett (Sunless Sea/Sunless Skies, The Long Journey Home)." "Nighthawks is a mix of story-driven RPG and undead life-simulation, where every decision you make is another move in your chess game against the world. Invest your time into learning new skills or honing your fighting style as you uncover the city's mysteries and venture deep into its darkest secrets. Gather fellow outcasts to your side, binding them with favours and choosing when to cash in. Manage your eternal thirst, legitimately, or balancing the risks of being caught stalking unwary victims and working the black markets."
