Vampire Survivors is a time survival game with roguelite elements, with an emphasis on minimalist gameplay.
“Hell is empty, the devils are here, and there is no place to run or hide,” the description reads. “All you can do is survive as long as you can, until death inevitably ends your fight. Collect gold in each run to buy upgrades and help the next survivor.”
After entering early access on Steam in December 2021, the game released in late 2022 for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and mobile. The game is now considered one of the best roguelike games of recent years.
Since its debut, the survival action game has become the third highest rated game on Steam, with over 220,000 user reviews, with an overwhelmingly positive rating of 98%. It is also now one of the most played games on Steam Deck.
