    If you're into the survival crafting genre, action RPGs, or vampires in general, V Rising is an absolute blast, alone or with others.

    V Rising redefines the survival genre with its enthralling vampiric twist and rich, gothic landscapes, proving that being a vampire has never been more captivating.

    One of the best adventure survival ARPGs out there and one of the best vampire games ever: do you need anything else?

    V Rising does almost everything right to offer satisfaction to the player who wants both solid action gameplay, and opportunities to unleash their architectural talents. Unfortunately, the few things it gets wrong are significant enough to keep it from receiving rave reviews.

    Despite a technical sector that is not cutting edge and a gameplay structure that is at times repetitive, V Rising works and is the perfect mix between survival and action RPG. Whether you play alone or in the company of some friends, it's really fun to dedicate yourself to hunting powerful targets that make the protagonist stronger, as well as trying your hand at building a base, which step by step becomes bigger and fuller of comforts. In short, it is a product that all fans of the genre should give a chance.

    If you want an action-RPG a la Diablo, where you can become the dark overlord and build your own kingdom, V Rising is the most obvious option.

    V Rising offers something distinct, and pretty cookie cutter at the same time. It’s a survival game, but with a novel genre blend meant to attract a different kind of audience. There’s a lot of these, but V Rising brings the action-RPG and gothic styles to the table in a way that feels unique. So that’s fun, but the survival and crafting part is about as boilerplate as it gets. Therefore, if you’re the type of person that shrivels up and shrieks at survival game systems like a vampire considering the concept of brunch, V Rising won’t change your mind. But if you can hang with the concept and also enjoy some Diablo-like combat, having those two things together in one game is pretty rad.
