Differences to the Game

The novel has some changes to the game's storyline. They are as follows:

Several extra scenes that do not appear in the game have been added. These include events that take place shortly before the game, such as Sara's capture and a scene with Leon and Mathias on the battlefield, but also flashbacks that detail the pasts of several characters, including Mathias, Medusa and Walter.
Several characters that are unique to the comic are introduced. These include: Liza, a hunter who tries to avenge the death of her fiance, Justine, Rinaldo's daughter who got turned into a vampire by Walter, Bianca, Walter's mother, and Volks, Bianca's servant.
Leon is poisoned by Medusa in the comic. When he backtracks to Rinaldo, he is attacked by the Succubus.
Walter returns Sara to Leon when he has only defeated two guardian monsters. In the game, this scene does not occur until after all five monsters are defeated.
