Vampire Survivors is a fast-paced and over-the-top gothic horror game with a rogue-lite twist where the choices you make will quickly throw you into battle with the hundreds of monsters that will be thrown at you. It has become one of the biggest surprise hits of the last few years, as what launched on Steam as a humble indie game gained traction and popularity.
Poncle soon added layers of recent content to the game, with the base experience now offering 50 playable characters and 80 weapons. This is also before the two main expansions, not to mention the Ode to Castlevania DLC.
In our 8/10 review, IGN said: “Need a game you can play while listening to podcasts? This is it. Vampire Survivors is a seemingly straightforward game, but it turns out to be an incredibly deep hole to fall into – although it’s not without long periods of boredom once you get past the bend.”
