Vampire Survivors is a surprising and well-packaged title, supported by a formula capable of kidnapping the user to drag him into a continuous succession of high-intensity pyrotechnic battles. By putting a simple but effective gameplay loop at the center of the proposal, Poncle has built an experience full of reward mechanics, expertly administered to push the user into a tunnel made of addiction and fun. Son of a talent for game design that we hope will continue to amaze us in the years to come, Vampire Survivors is therefore a title that is absolutely worth trying, especially considering the negligible cost of Luca Galante's work.
Juegos como este, Celeste o Baba is you demuestran que es más importante un buen creativo que un equipo carísimo y grandes inversiones a la hora de crear un juego, juegos que yo digo,deberían de haber existido hace 35 años porque el nivel de programación y de diseño no exige grandes máquinas para mover esos juegos y hubieran sido juegazos, pero gracias a las grandes mentes, existen ahora y son muy divertidos
Despite its exceptionally simple gameplay, Vampire Survivors can compete with the biggest releases of 2022. Everybody has to experience this unique blend of bullet hell, roguelike and Castlevania.
Don’t judge a book by its cover: Vampire Survivors has a simple gameplay loop, but strong enough to keep you coming back, and wanting more. Thirty minutes is the perfect length to make you think “maybe I can squeeze in another run”, and before you’ve realized it the game has burned through the hours as if they were matchsticks.
Vampire Survivors is one of the best games of the year, let down only by a weak soundtrack and some confusing art. Push through those and this is the perfect lunchtime game, offering short and sweet runs that will devour your entire life if you let it.
With a wealth of weapons, unlockable characters, hidden relics and buff-providing cards, Galante has adopted the kitchen-sink approach to fleshing out his game. [Issue#378, p.121]
I was a bit unfair on my first review. It's a good game. Fun and addictive but the fun wears thin quickly and I need to take a break. It's good for what it is though and if you just want a quick half hour session, it fits the bill.
It's so stupid and has no right to be as fun as it is but dammit it IS fun. It is an auto-firing reverse-bullet-hell with lots (LOTS) of hidden secrets and unlocks, easter eggs, pop culture and game references, and numbers. Yes...LOTS OF NUMBERS. Your screen will be FILLED with numbers as you grow more powerful and spend 5 minutes simply standing in place obliterating every monster, their friends, their families, their past and future children, possibly even their future reincarnated selves. Every character has the potential to achieve GOD LIKE power and it IS A SPECTACLE OF PIXELS. It's also incredibly addicting.
However, I've struggled to find motivation in completing the final secret bits of the game, as it does get repetitive eventually. There were also a few bugs that led to some significant confusion as to why certain unlock conditions weren't triggering their rewards, and I did run into a few instances where the "secret" is hidden in a way the old NES game secrets were hidden - so obscurely you will most certainly need a guide for at least a few of them. Overall, a mindless, fun game that doesn't break the bank.
Avoid this crap even for the low price! Constant screen freeze that make lost all progress. Game wont let me reach 100k kills and freeze all the time before reaching it. Incompetent devs, **** game. The cheap is always too expansive.
SummaryMow thousands of night creatures and survive until dawn! Vampire Survivors is a gothic horror casual game with rogue-lite elements, where your choices can allow you to quickly snowball against the hundreds of monsters that get thrown at you.
