These icons represent four distinct combat styles in a dark, gothic, fantasy, and horror-themed video game concept where the player assumes the role of a vampire, facing off against human enemies. The designs are inspired by Victorian-era crests and brooches, drawing on the ornate, intricate details of the period to create icons that are not only functional within the game’s interface but also imbue the game world with an additional layer of atmosphere and narrative. The Victorian aesthetic, known for its romantic yet dark undertones, offers the perfect backdrop for these icons, which serve as representations of the different combat styles available to the player. Each crest or brooch icon corresponds to a specific combat skill set, and the designs are crafted to evoke a sense of regality, ancient power, and lethal precision.
