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

    My only hesitation in recommending it to Xbox players is the unwelcome presence of launch bugs that impede stage and achievement unlocks for some and other strange odds and ends. Patching has helped so far, and I hope it gets to be as relatively issue-free as the PC versions soon. Despite these early console setbacks, Vampire Survivors has quickly become one of my favorite games of all time. Consider this me grabbing the sides of your head and shouting, "Play Vampire Survivors, you fool!"

    Vampire Survivors is an incredible rogue-lite title that uses old-school imagery. Its simple concept will lull you into a false sense of security, and you won't be able to put it down. Word of warning, once you start, you won't be able to stop.

    Don’t judge a book by its cover: Vampire Survivors has a simple gameplay loop, but strong enough to keep you coming back, and wanting more. Thirty minutes is the perfect length to make you think “maybe I can squeeze in another run”, and before you’ve realized it the game has burned through the hours as if they were matchsticks.

    Vampire Survivors is a surprising and well-packaged title, supported by a formula capable of kidnapping the user to drag him into a continuous succession of high-intensity pyrotechnic battles. By putting a simple but effective gameplay loop at the center of the proposal, Poncle has built an experience full of reward mechanics, expertly administered to push the user into a tunnel made of addiction and fun. Son of a talent for game design that we hope will continue to amaze us in the years to come, Vampire Survivors is therefore a title that is absolutely worth trying, especially considering the negligible cost of Luca Galante's work.

    This curious mix of a roguelike and a reversed bullet hell shooter will either discourage you quickly or – if you give it a chance – amaze you with gameplay intensity and quite complex mechanics revealed gradually. You’ll either love Vampire Survivors or hate it – I don’t see a middle ground here.

    With a wealth of weapons, unlockable characters, hidden relics and buff-providing cards, Galante has adopted the kitchen-sink approach to fleshing out his game. [Issue#378, p.121]

    They were calling this game one of the best of '22 and I never got a chance to try it. The title was a bit, it seemed simple. But when I wentThey were calling this game one of the best of '22 and I never got a chance to try it. The title was a bit, it seemed simple. But when I went to my friend's house and he told me that it was a very fun game and that I should try it, I did. And I experienced that it really is as fun and as addictive as they say it is. So what makes this game so fun? What is the genre of this game?

    Believe me, I don't know anything, all I know is that I should play it. Vampire Survivors is actually a very simple game. It's a game where you just walk and make choices. There are basically two mechanics. The game asks you to solve these mechanics for a long time. As you discover new weapons, passive items, you try new things. Either you're always making progress or you're discovering things. The reward cycle is awesome. Just when you think you've completed the game, it suddenly gets deeper. Even though the game seems very simple, it actually includes a story mode where you can make progress. And they spent a lot more time on this story mode than I thought they would. I expected a lot less from a game that is played with two buttons for distraction. Moreover, the game has done a great job of setting up the infinite loop (the ability to play and get something out of the game even after it's over) that games like this tend to try to do. There are so many systems in the game that I can't mention in order to avoid spoilers.

    The game also doesn't ask too much from you. Yes, it can take a long time, it can be addictive, but it requires enough brain activity that you can play even while watching a TV series, I think you can have a lot of fun playing this game on public transportation instead of those hyper-casual games that are copies of each other. Even if you don't make progress in the game, you can buy another weapon, you can try something new, you can play in a place you've never played before. And it's not that cryptic because it shows what you can do from the game menu.

    This game wanted to be a very simple game. It managed to get a little bit deeper in the gameplay without breaking its simplicity, without tiring you out, and it probably surprised people other than me. I definitely think it's a game that can keep you entertained for even longer than it promises. You can put it between heavy games and rest your head for a while. But if there's one thing this game does very well, it's to keep you playing. Of course there will be those who don't like it, but it's definitely a great game that I think everyone should give a chance, that exceeded my expectations a lot and that I think is one of the best games on mobile as of the time I'm writing this.    … Expand

    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 isGreat 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. Either way, recommend it for everyone! 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
