About Vampire Survivors

Vampire Survivors poster

Vampire Survivors is a time survival game built around minimalistic gameplay and roguelite elements, an indie phenomenon that flips the usual formula by letting you become the bullet hell yourself. The setup is grim and simple: hell is empty, the devils have arrived, and there is nowhere left to run or hide. All you can do is endure for as long as possible until death inevitably ends your struggle.

Progression comes from persistence. In each run you gather gold, which you then spend on upgrades that make the next survivor stronger, gradually building your power across repeated attempts. This loop of surviving, dying and returning better equipped gives the game its addictive rhythm, rewarding you for pushing a little further with every run even as the odds remain stacked against you.

Blending action, casual, indie and RPG sensibilities on PC, it now includes local co-op for up to four players, so you can face the endless waves alongside friends. The game supports a wide range of inputs, including mouse, keyboard, controller and touch screen, making it easy to pick up however you prefer to play.
