Numbers go up, monsters go squish
Vampire Survivorsis an action RPG boiled down to its core.
On my last life, I killed around 24,000 monsters in 30 minutes.
Defeated enemies drop gems, which are XP.
I collect them and quickly level up.
So now I have two wand blasts which fire every few seconds.
A few minutes after that, I have four throwing knives, three fireballs, and five wand blasts.
The wand blasts stream continuously now, too.
The whip heals me as it hits enemies.
I can run faster.
As noted, I’m not clicking to aim or fire any of these weapons.
The shift in power feels alternately wonderful and terrifying.
Is there actual skill involved in any of this?
I’m not sure.
I am sure I don’t care.
Vampire Survivors could almost be an idle game, and that’s fine.
I am happy to watch more monsters die, take my unlocks, and then do it again.
you could pick Vampire Survivors upfrom Steamfor 2.09/2.39, or play it forfree in your web app on Itch.
It’s in early access, with more characters, weapons and a story mode in the works.
