    Dopamine. So much dopamine. You would not believe the sheer amount of dopamine and addictiveness in this game unless you played it. Oh my god it's great.

    Performs well, no crashes thus far, looks great (if you're into that), and my god is the gameplay addictive. It's good for Switch due to the handheld aspect, as this feels nice as both an idle game and an engaging one. The simple design of evading enemies and allowing your choices to shape the way you attack, is so accessible to basically anyone.

I give it a 9 so far, because while it's very fun, it is super difficult at first before upgrading your skills, and there are some frame-rate dips on some stages when there's a lot going on.… Expand

    Juego adictivo que cumple su funcion de entretenimiento carente de historia, cuadno uno madura, no tiene tanto tiempo para jugar una historia por que por muy inmersiva que sea no se tiene tiempo fisico para dedicarle. Por lo tanto el publico objetico de este estilo de videojuegos es gente que quiere disfrutar de 20 minutos de frenesi.

    Really good game. Came from nowhere and delivered something new and fresh! New engine doesn't work as good as the old, but well worth a buy!

    The game for 2 euros seems offered, the game developer is very committed and has released updates regularly, the game currently turns out to be quite repeated and too small to maintain "interest". Survival by waves gameplay is quite interesting, there could be more challagens during these waves and a lot of fun but being an indie game, we have to wait.

    Do I recommend the game?
    I bought the game because I found it interesting and I was looking for a game to kill time, the result I'm not disappointed but I'm not surprised either, I believe that the style of the game can satisfy some and not others.
    If you are interested in this type of game, give it a try.    … Expand

    Vampire Survivors on Switch is a well-matured indie-darling game right from the start that comes with a better engine and an insane amount of fun and content for an incredibly low price.

    In conclusion, Vampire Survivors is a gem. It’s a wonderful example of a successful indie game that has a simple concept but executes it perfectly. The catchy tunes in the background and the retro pixelated art combine to create an entertainingly addictive experience, and it’s even well priced – including all the DLC in the core price.

    Vampire Survivors on Switch is everything I hoped for in a port and more. While it has some frame rate issues, which version of the game doesn’t at this point? If you somehow haven’t played it through its Xbox, mobile, or PC release, this is it. I didn’t get to try the DLC yet, but Vampire Survivors is a perfect fit for Switch, and absolutely worth buying right now. Hopefully poncle can add in cross save support at some point so I can go from Xbox Series X to iPhone to Steam Deck to Nintendo Switch with my save file.
