Vampire Survivors is a dynamic game combining features of roguelites, action RPGs and bullet hell shooters. It was developed by an independent studio poncle, having us play as a lone adventurer facing massive hordes of enemies.

The gameplay is minimalist, but extremely dynamic. The title uses simple 2D pixelart visuals.

Mechanics

The main objective of Vampire Survivors is to stay alive for as long as possible against increasingly powerful hordes of monsters. The playable character attacks automatically, while we must weave between enemies to maximize our combat effectiveness.

To succeed, we must stay mobile and gather experience gems which let us level up. Each new level comes with an upgrade, which we choose from a range of available options. These include upgrading a weapon, gaining a new weapon or a ive item. Exceeding some required level goals also unlocks new areas.
