    I grab garlic I run right, I get dopamine. The fact this game is so cheap is insane, the dev deserves more.

    Absolutely shocking how such a simple game can drive my horrible little rat brain crazy with dopamine.

    It makes you fall for it with overwhelming addiction, and it's really fun to play because there are a lot of Easter eggs. The game has many characters and more weapons, and if you unlock and combine them one by one, you probably lose track of time.

    Incredibly addicting gameplay. Simple and easy to learn and has that "one more game" type of charm. You'll want to beat your last run and try other characters or builds until you're not aware that you've been playing for hours.

    HOW CAN I STOP? A game that I've played without stopping for hours, and I can't find a way to stop.

    An amazing amount of content! I planned to do just one run, and have since clocked 150 hours... Simple, cathartic, absurdist - my game of the year.

    This game is absolutely fantastic. A few bucks for a game + its DLC and I know for a fact that I will, over time, put hundreds upon hundreds of hours into this game. The value-for-money exchange here is ridiculous. It's been a decade+ since I last played a game where it truly gave me that "Just one more round!" feeling where you say that at 10pm and realize you're still playing at 3am.This game is absolutely fantastic.

It's been a decade+ since I last played a game where it truly gave me that "Just one more round!" feeling where you say that at 10pm and realize you're still playing at 3am. This is that game for me right now. The gameplay loop is quick, exciting, fun, and most importantly; not predatory in the slightest. You pay for a game and you get that + more.

    It's not a game I will play consistently or daily. Maybe over time it won't even be played weekly. But it's a game that, when I do play it, I will play it for hours and have a blast. That's really all you can ask for as a gamer. Especially when you're looking for a game that doesn't REQUIRE you to play for hours daily to make progress. This is just a gamey-ass game. No strings attached, no ****

    It's really good, simple-yet-surprisingly-deep fun.

    I absolutely love this game, have spent over a thousand hours in it so far ever since I found it in January when it was still in early access, and new content continues to be released even after the game has fully come out. It's extremely addicting, and I highly recommend giving it a try if you have the rest of the day to spare.

    Awesome game! Probably the best deal on steam right now. 5 dollars for hundreds of hours of enjoyment and the launch made the game wayyyy better

    This game in Early Access cost me only 2 $, I playing it to this day and I have 100 hours of fun on Steam. In my long gaming history, only 2 games offered so much for so little, one is the Vampire Survivor and the other is the Gem Craft series. This piece of code is worth every penny!

    A 4-dollar game that is better than half of Triple-A games released in recent years.

    There is a reason why Steam Deck owners seem all to have bought this game - it is amazingly well suited to the handheld PC format. One of those games that you can learn to play in minutes yet burn through hours with ease.

    Vampire Survivors is an action roguelike that challenges players to survive against waves of enemies for thirty minutes. The only action the player can perform is to move around the screen with the player character firing any collected weapons automatically. Collecting orbs from defeated enemies allows the player to unlock new weapons or upgrade the ones you already have.

    With it’s basic graphics and relatively straightforward gameplay, this is a game that may seem a little light at first, but the variety of weapon combinations and desire to survive that little big longer each time makes for an extremely addictive title.

    Fantastic game. So simple yet addictive. Progression feels to always be occurring, plenty of secrets and little unlocks a long the way. Before you know you'll have been playing it all week. Nice and cheap too.

    Vampire Survivors is a very addictive and fun game. Weapon combines are endless. You can play it with one hand. You don't even need to use brain or concentration:) After hardworking day you can simply play and relax while listening music, podcasts, tv, videos...

    It’s so addictive and so good. Worth playing. Don’t look at screenshots or videos, don’t check reviews. Just try it, if you have tens of hours of time to play it. Because it would be barely possible to stop

    Vampire Survivors is incredible, but don't trust me: try it. Really. From the outside, it is a raw and old-fashioned rogue-lite with some fun Italian pranks.

    This game sounds and looks very boring and dumb. But it is a heck of a lot of fun and very addicting. The simplest of games but... just so fun!

    Yeni bir tür yarattığı söyleniyor. Hades'in otomatik ateş edenlisi gibi biraz. Her run'da build epey değişiyor. Tam bağımlılık yapacak oyun. Sevmeme rağmen bu yüzden bir kaç saatin sonunda bırakıyorum. Meraklısı bayılacaktır.

    Great game, fun for everyone that is not bothered by flashing lights. Has much more depth than it might seem at first. Main issue for me is that the maps get too repetitive rather quickly and the 30 min cap is rather long if you manage to have a god tier build. At that point there should be some option to speed up the clock to 30 by throwing the hordes of enemies immediately on you. EitherGreat game, fun for everyone that is not bothered by flashing lights.

I hope more maps and weapons get added, as currently the game encourages specific builds. After you finish a run you see your stats which highlights which weapons do the most damage. This in turn makes you automatically disregard the ones that have obviously the lowest numbers. Expand

    Absolutely amazing game. I’ve almost finished every unlock but I have seen the “end” of the game. This has to be the most bang for your buck game of this year and maybe the last decade. I’ve put over 30 hours into this game and I don’t regret a single second.

I’ve put over 30 hours into this game and I don’t regret a single second. For those of you writing off this game as low quality because of the graphics, you’re actually insane, touch grass, get off of CoD for five seconds and listen to the damn soundtrack. Beautiful pixel art, satisfying gameplay loop, and the soundtrack is all bangers. There’s even some surprises to find that are really rewarding experiences. 10/10 the vampire is in another coffin?

    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.
