🧛 **Hundreds of Hours Later, Vampire Survivors Is Still One of My First Loves** Yes, most people know Vampire Survivors by now. Heck, even some folks who've been living in a cave for the last few years have probably heard of it. I've certainly played it repeatedly since it came out, with hundreds upon hundreds of hours sunk into the game. There's just one slight problem as far as Steam is concerned — almost all of those hours were on Xbox. On the PC version I've currently clocked up just over three hours. So Steam may look at my playtime and think I'm still getting acquainted with the game. Believe me when I say I've spent more than enough time with Vampire Survivors over the years to know exactly how much I love it. 😂 Starting again from scratch on PC has actually been a surprisingly interesting experience. On Xbox I'd reached the point where I'd unlocked everything, completed every mission and earned every achievement. I had all those permanent upgrades, plenty of characters to choose from and years of accumulated knowledge about what combines with what. Then I started the PC version. Nothing. No lovely collection of permanent upgrades. Hardly any characters. No comfortable selection of powerful toys. Just me, a basic character and the sudden realisation that Vampire Survivors is considerably less forgiving when you're weak and puny again. My first run didn't last particularly long. 😂 And that's actually reminded me of something I'd almost forgotten about Vampire Survivors: just how good its sense of progression is. At the beginning, you're desperately trying to find enough experience to survive. You're dodging enemies that genuinely feel threatening, trying to make sensible choices from whatever upgrades you're offered and hoping your little collection of weapons becomes powerful quickly enough to keep you alive. Then things start clicking into place. Weapons improve. Passive abilities complement them. Evolutions begin appearing. Your permanent upgrades make each new attempt that little bit easier. And eventually you reach that wonderful Vampire Survivors moment where the enormous horde of enemies heading towards you stops looking like a threat and starts looking suspiciously like a large delivery of experience points. **That's when Vampire Survivors is at its best.** The basic concept is incredibly simple. You move your character around while your weapons attack automatically, collect experience, choose upgrades and try to survive increasingly ridiculous quantities of enemies. But underneath that simplicity is a wonderfully addictive web of weapons, evolutions, characters, stages, secrets, unlocks and combinations. There's always something else to work towards. One more unlock. One more run. One more experiment with a different combination. And then you look at the clock and discover that “one more run” apparently lasted most of your evening. There are plenty of games in the genre now, and some of them undoubtedly do individual things better. Some have prettier graphics. Some have enormous skill trees. Some offer more complicated builds, more elaborate progression systems or completely different twists on the formula. I've played and enjoyed plenty of them. But Vampire Survivors is a little like your first love. It doesn't really matter how many others come along afterwards. There's something about this particular game that will always feel special. It took such a beautifully simple idea and demonstrated just how ridiculously compelling it could be. Watching a character go from barely surviving the opening minutes to becoming an almost untouchable screen-clearing monster remains every bit as satisfying to me now as it was when I first started playing. And perhaps that's the biggest compliment I can give it. After hundreds of hours on Xbox, after completing everything, after playing countless other games inspired by the formula... **I willingly bought into it again on PC and started from nothing.** And I'm enjoying rebuilding everything all over again. Vampire Survivors isn't perfect. The visuals are relatively simple, the screen can become absolute chaos, and once you're properly established there are runs where the challenge inevitably gives way to simply watching your increasingly absurd build obliterate almost everything around you. But frankly, that last one is part of why I'm here. 😁 Sometimes I want deep strategy. Sometimes I want a complicated story. And sometimes I want to wander around while increasingly ridiculous weapons turn thousands of approaching monsters into colourful explosions, experience gems and numbers. Vampire Survivors understands that particular part of my gaming brain remarkably well. 💜 **Tom Recommends** Hundreds of hours played elsewhere, every Xbox achievement earned, everything previously unlocked... And now I'm doing it all over again. **Yes. I think it's fair to say I quite like Vampire Survivors.** 😂

It is a unique and addictive game with an addictive style that encourages you to keep playing. It has oodles of content though I would recommend getting the DLC's. Overall its fun and worth the cost.
