Vampire Crawlers Review: The perfect evolution for Vampire Survivors
Vampire Crawlers gives the series’ roguelite formula a serious shot in the arm: tangible gameplay. Vampire Survivors was a sensation when it launched in 2022, and it has singlehandedly turned developer Poncle into a globe-spanning multi-studio operation. It was a massive success, and that’s partially because of how simple it was to play. In Vampire Survivors, you know your build is effective if you don’t actually have to touch the controller. Putting together a strong survivor as you delve through dungeons was undeniably satisfying, but the lengthy runs with little required input became tiring.
