    Very simple and very addictive little game. This game really did a great job perfecting the “just one more round” level of addiction, and the simplicity of game controls and mechanics where the only “button” is the movement of your character, whether that’s the arrow keys or a joystick. Graphics, sound, and complexity of gameplay are that of an old Flash game on Newgrounds. I mean all ofVery simple and very addictive little game.

Graphics, sound, and complexity of gameplay are that of an old Flash game on Newgrounds. I mean all of this in the best way, this is a highly addictive game boiled down to its absolutely smallest components, which is somewhat of an art with how well it was executed. The issue I had with this game is after 6 hours, I just thought why am I still doing this? There isn’t much to it at all. There is a lot of fun that can be had in this game, I think at minimum you’ll get a few hours out of it, at most you’ll get tons of hours out of it, and with the very low price tag of $5, it’s absolutely worth it, but in the end I found that it’s simplicity was also the reason I stopped playing. Maybe its just me, but once I hit one REALLY good run, my interest completely dropped off. Glad I played it though.… Expand

    Super simple yet super addicting. It’s not visually impressive at all or even that exciting, even when you get overrun by hundreds of pseudo-animated sprites, but it’s the perfect kind of game to just mindlessly unwind with.

    Bad design decisions keep this from being a great game. With no buttons to press and a zillion inventive weapons set on auto-fire, this should be a movement-based game where you kite swarms of monsters into the proper patterns to slaughter them.

The very early game kind of works like this, but within a few minutes your entire screen is just monsters and movement is irrelevant. You either have the right combo of weapons and upgrades to kill everything and you auto-win, or you don't and you die.

    This means the only challenge in the game comes from figuring out which weapons combo the best, and hoping RNG grants them to you. It's fun for day or two as a novelty, then gets old fast. A real shame because there's so much great content in this game, but it's used badly.    … Expand

    Простенькая игра, в которой интересно открывать контент и просто выполнять ачивки.
    Спустя 15-20 часов начинается гринд, не такой веселый.

    Very addictive, fun but with bad balance, no endgame content after 20 minutes

    I think that this is truly a unique game and I would recommend that if you are a fan of this type of genre then I think you should give this game a try.

    It's addictive. It also makes me feel really bad about myself, and cynical about the human race in general. It's tedious, boring, repetitive, and definitely more frustrating than rewarding.

    This is like a prototype of a game that might be really really good. But this just ain't it. Props to the developer for creating this game with such limited resources and making a buttload of money, but looking at it for what it is... There's not much there that would justify these high scores at all. It's like huffing aerosols. Those who do it would give it a 10/10 too.    … Expand

    Ok, but nothing special. If u like Rogue LITE unlocking weapons/upgrades it could be fun. For me its too boring nonsense. I dont even see anything original. I recommend Gunfire Reborn if u dont like Rogue Like/Lite genre same as me.

    A game to play while watching a movie or doing something else. Graphically, don't expect anything. Weapon and character variety is good enough.

    Bağımlılık yaptığı doğrudur evet, fakat bir süre sonra sıkılmaya başladım. Oyunun bir genre başlattığını düşünüyorum. Bu oyunun ardından bir çok klonu türedi bu açıdan başarılı bir oyun olduğunu düşünüyorum.

    It's an addictive game with a simple formula, lots of things to try and tons of different items.

    Vampire Survivors is a very content-rich game for its genre, with tons of unlockable characters, stages, items, and more. It can be a fun time if you just want around 10-30 minutes of casual gameplay. The game mostly plays itself with the player's only real input being moving around and selecting items and upgrades, so it might not appeal much to somebody looking for more in-depth gameplay. If you're looking to get into the horde-survival genre that's been getting popular lately, this game is a good place to start.

    You'll be easily drawn in by the incredibly addictive gameplay and rules, which may not be revolutionary or surprising, but they are meticulously thought out. The meat here is the fun gameplay in the style of one more try. Lovers of the rogue-like genre or simple but precisely polished short games will not be disappointed. [Issue#325]

    So addictive. So fun. It seems simple but underneath is an unbelievably complex and robust roguelike odyssey. A true piece of indie jewelry.
