- “A vampire from hell thrust into the role of a 'Christianist' priest in a Polish village running around slaying heretic 'Shatanists' while being ordered around by a cast of crazy characters (including a sock puppet and a frog alien) with the most wacky dialogue and story I've seen since maybe Saints Row the Third.”
