Vampire Survivors - Two Minute Review!
Vampire Survivors - Two Minute Review! (Free from Epic Games December 19th 2024)
Summary
Mow thousands of night creatures and survive until dawn! Vampire Survivors is a gothic horror casual game with rogue-lite elements, where your choices can allow you to quickly snowball against the hundreds of monsters that get thrown at you.
Platforms:
PC Xbox Series X Xbox One iOS (iPhone/iPad) Nintendo Switch PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5
Initial Release Date:
Oct 20, 2022
Developer:
poncle
Publisher:
poncle
Genres:
Top-Down Shoot-'Em-Up
----------------------
Vampire Survivors is a rogue-lite game that drops you into a chaotic world where you must survive against a constantly increasing onslaught of enemies, with up to 4 player local co-op. Gameplay is simple: you move your character with a single stick while your attacks fire automatically. Runs start with a single weak weapon, and collecting gems that defeated enemies drop allows you to level up and choose upgrades or buffs. The goal each run is to build the strongest character you can to survive up to 30 minutes. This leads to an Addictive cycle of killing as many enemies as you can, using them to level up, allowing you to kill even more enemies.
Most weapons lack directionality control, leading stategy to be based largely on positioning and path planning to avoid being overwhelmed. Success comes from keeping track of stronger enemies, choosing upgrades wisely, and balancing risk and reward when gathering gems. Impatience and greed are your biggest enemies. Larger enemies drop treasure chests containing gold, which between runs is spent on permanent upgrades, though these are limited stat boosts.
What makes Vampire Survivors stand out is its constant sense of progression and power. Every minute ups the challenge, with constant flashy explosions and a satisfying feedback loop that hides the grindy nature of the game. It's also packed with hundreds of hidden unlockables, from new characters and weapons to modifiers that change the experience, giving players hours of fresh content to discover.
However, it isn’t without flaws. enemies lergely feel interchangeable aside from their health and speed, and the levels themselves are repetitive, copy-pasted environments. Chaos can also be a downside-at its most hectic, you have very little impact, and it’s easy to suddenly die without understanding why.
Despite this, Vampire Survivors offers addictive, mindless fun. It’s a perfect mix of action and relaxation, with runs lasting 30 minutes at most.

    Thanks for the video, I'm definitely gonna try this because it's on gamepass. I've fished since I was a kid but have never really gotten beyond very basic stuff (hook worm sinker for 99% of my fishing in my life lol). I always wanted to learn it better so this seems like it could be a nice way to learn while having some fun. Guess I'll see how it goes, already subbed to gamepass so no big deal if it's not great.

    I would 100% agree, i just played this and it was a claustrophobia maze confusion simulator. The vibe of the game is there but the game isnt "game`ing" 5/10 The setting and lore seems to be ok or even good but the design of maps gameplay is just tragic. I believe this would be a better game if it was a first person horror like Outlast, Bendy and the ink machine etc.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, of course, but IMO this is one of the best sci-fi games you can find out there. It has great mechanics, awesome graphics, great climbing, good story, great characters and performances, not one silly or cheesy dialogue, no stupid unnecessary humour, it's quite long..... an easy 9/10 for me.

    @dandy_is_lion 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hey there! Great video. As an R2 vet with a thousand hours, I wanted to add on to and address some of your points: - Redout and Redout 2 are their own thing distinct from the Wipeout series. While inspired by that and many others, you need to go into it with a fresh and open mind. As it doesn't play at all like Wipeout or others in the genre. It's more akin to piloting an aircraft but on a track (especially airborne). - I agree with the visual clutter. I think better color grading with more landmarks and shorter tracks would've helped a ton in making memorable tracks. Rewinds I think were used as an excuse for intentionally-hostile track design. Training Mode is offered to learn tracks through and through, but that shouldn't be used as a crutch either. Tracks should have flow and be easy to read, especially at the high speeds that the game engine allows and expects you to play at. There's technically 69 tracks counting forward and reverse, as well as the new VERTEX area. With now 12 boss tracks. That's a lot to memorize! - I also agree that the campaign could've been cut down significantly. Perhaps there could've been pilot tests in the Trials section that unlocked the later campaigns early. You can also skip most of the cosmetic events and go for the events that give you performance parts (the colored icons). For online play, because the playerbase is so small, we have a weekly event every Saturday at 2PM CST where we queue together. (Links to the Discord should've been in-game tbh) - The Trials leave a lot to be desired. One of the most important things not taught in-game is "counterstrafing" which allows you take turns much faster, akin to drifting. - It's gotten better over the years since its rocky launch, with QoL improvements with the latest patch. But like you mentioned, the damage has already been done to what would've been an awesome competitor to other AG racers. It's still got an amazing game engine at its core but most won't see that until you get way into the game. Despite all its drawbacks, as my first foray into the AG racing scene, I still very much recommend it. It's also clear with the Coming Soon! banners that the devs had high hopes for the game to do well, and there's lots of little examples of passion and attention to detail.
