Genuinely phenomenal

In a world of “try before you buy”, demos, and half-baked could-have/beens, nobody does it like Vampire Survivors. There are over a dozen COMPLETELY FREE characters to play as. Half a dozen FREE levels. NO ADS. EVER. DOZENS of items meaning HUNDREDS of item combinations. Every run is different. You can toggle maxed power-ups to challenge yourself. There are dozens of achievements. That’s to say nothing of the numerous DLCs that add more maps and dozens more items. I do not often give 5* reviews because most games are, subjectively, not at that level. Vampire Survivors is. It’s simple enough that anyone can understand it while having enough item diversity to allow complex strategy. It’s easy enough that anyone can start playing it while still being challenging enough to keep more experienced players hooked. It’s great for a quick run or two, and can easily be extended to a full max-timer session.

Online

This game is great but we need an online multiplayer on IOS

RIP

Years ago I’d made a significant amount of progress in the game and was enjoying getting back into it recently. i attempted to do the quest in space 54 with gyoruntin but for some reason it wouldn’t let me fly over walls. i figured it was a bug, deleted the app and re-downloaded. i lost all of my progress, all of my unlocks, all of my characters, all of my coins. pretty rough. brutal tbh. but i decided i loved the game and would just grind through it like i did many years ago. unfortunately, the app now shows ads after every other run. Long, unskippable ads. the game is unplayable to me now. rip

Good, but Complex

Really good game, but sometimes it takes a million years to load on your second time opening the application (also there’s a glitch in Holy Forbidden where you die for no reason whatsoever during the final illusion)

DLC disappeared, game progress wiped

Help me fix this

Kenne es schon länger

Ich habe früher immer meinem Bruder zugeschaut wie er es auf seinem PC gespielt hatte. Jetzt habe ich es selbst auf dem Handy und finde es fantastisch! Die Musik ist großartig und Werbung ist 100% optional. Love it! :^)

Always crash

One of the best game. If it don’t crash.Plz !!!!!!

Terrible iPad Port

Cannot get full perspective in landscape. Fix this.

Obvious monetization

I play this on console and love it so much I decided to get it on mobile. It’s so very obviously more difficult on mobile to get people to ‘watch an ad to survive’. I would rather there be a paid version that’s just like the console version. Idk how you expect anyone to keep interest in this game when making it past wave 10 is near impossible. I have everything unlocked on console, it isn’t a skill issue.

Game is great with 1 glaring issue

The game is awesome. Super addictive and perfect for a phone. The only issue is that if you are in the middle of a run and switch apps you might lose all of your progress. This seems like a huge oversight when the game is on a phone and runs can last 30+ minutes. There needs to be some kind of workaround for this. It seems to be a very common complaint and really hurts the experience.

One minor flaw ruins it for me

I've loved this game on other platforms and was really excited to find it for the iPad, but there's a tiny flaw with this version that ruins it for my personal use case: in landscape mode it only support one orientation, but not the other.
As a iOS developer myself I know there are no reasons to lock the landscape mode into a single orientation, and the developer here could simply mark the other landscape orientation as available.
Without it I can't play this game most of the time, which is a shame.

Ode to Castlevania DLC

Very disappointed in the paid DLC that adds tons of additional content to this game that I am unable to access due to random crashing at any point during an attempted play through of Dracula’s castle map. I have loaded only the single DLC by itself to see if it would help with crashing issues and has yet to work. Anywhere from map load and up to 15 minutes into play through the game will crash. Happens with every character, it’s extremely frustrating and very disappointing to have paid for something you were excited to play because of being such a huge fan off the Castlevania game series. Hoping someone from the dev team actually will read this and attempt to take action to remedy this problem.

Fire

Fire just fire

highly recommend

this fits all my personal criteria for a game, top down pixel art, skill based playing that turns into an idle game if you upgrade the right way. Extremely unobtrusive optional ads. i would’ve paid a couple bucks for this considering that it’s a full game in itself.

Free ,no ads..

I don’t know why a-lot of pol complaining with this game, i played on my ps and mobile, and i never have any issue with it (i’m using iphone 15 pro)and compare to other free games..the dev never force you to spend real money throughout the game (they even give the DLC for free)
lowkey i recommend this game to anyone if you like rogueplay game

Free full game.

It’s the full game for free. You can purchase DLCs if you want but honestly the dlcs add so much that they’re worth the one time purchase of 99 cents. There only advertisements I’ve seen in game are the completely optional offer to watch an add to revive when you die. In an age of predatory advertising in games on mobile, this game stands out. It’s also pretty fun, and has a lot of complexity despite how simple it looks at first. Has turned into one of my favorite mobile games, and I don’t usually like games like this. I rarely review mobile games but this developer has done so many things right that I had to leave a review.

Still the best

The game that every single mobile game has copied multiple millions of times and all of them are gacha casinos with pay2win mechanics.

Those pretenders are all shallow when compared to Vampire Survivors. They rely on psychological manipulation to keep you clicking inside of menu after menu instead of actually playing the game.

Because the rewards in those sad copies are found in the shop where you spend currency bought with real money to achieve power.

In Vampire Survivors you actually need to play the game and be good at it to do well.

And it isn’t trying to nickel and dime you until you’re broke.

But when it does have content, it’s full on expansions and content that costs less than a cup of coffee.

Devs like this create masterpieces and obviously love game theory and making something fun to PLAY. Their actions and output prove their worth as a developer and artist.

I love their new game that’s out on Steam right now, and seeing where they take that game (it keeps getting better and better) has me so excited.

I felt it was time to leave this review and commentary to hopefully remind the developer that they’re appreciated and to keep following their passions and values.

We need you and your kind on the gaming industry more than ever these days.

Please fix the iOS version

I would gladly purchase all of the DLC again on iOS, even though I’ve already purchased all of it on Steam, if the developers would fix one major issue: Vampire Survivors does not reliably stay suspended in the background.

On a phone, this makes the game almost unplayable for me. A run can last a long time, and I’m not going to start one knowing that a phone call, text, or switching to another app could cause the game to lose my progress and force me to restart or continue the entire run.

This is a mobile game. Being able to briefly leave the app and return to the same run should be basic functionality. If this gets fixed, I would happily buy all of the DLC on iOS. Until then, I can’t justify spending more money on this version.
