    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

    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.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    imagine being thrown in the middle of nowhere. your mission? to survive. how to? make your own way through thousands upon thousands of builds, and none of them will leave you bored even after hundreds of hours of experiencing, tweaking, testing and so on

    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.

    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

    The game is absolute garbage. Constantly black screen issue everytime. No actual fixes to resolve this issue and the Dev is a d*ck. Even the community are bigger simps and supporters like freaken leeches on a rhinos butt!!! Not worth my $5 when i can actually spend it on food instead!!! LMAO

    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.

    Spent half a hour trying to get this to "start".
    My conclusion was 20+years of experience of getting buggy pc games to start is not enough.
    Cant remember last time was not able to get a game to start its just a matter of effort this game took the cake in a bad way. Bad code should pull a games grade down significantly if it cant be played, its unlikely im the only person who was out    Spent half a hour trying to get this to "start".

    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.

    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 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.
