### 3/5 — love/hate

*2026-08-21, version 1.15.115*

i love the game on console but is too bugged on mobile. i’m on a new iphone and the game doesn’t load half the time forcing me to close and restart just to get a little further in the menu. i have yet been able to actually play the game on mobile

### 2/5 — Give players free skill choice at the beginning

*2026-08-19, version 1.15.115*

Give players free skill choice at the beginning of each game, so that they don’t waste time restarting the stage to lottery the skill they want

### 3/5 — Game won’t start

*2026-08-14*

Every time I open the game it says “An error occurred. Failed to load save data” and doesn’t ever let me play the game.

Edit: they fixed it.

**Developer response:** Hi, 

A patch has gone out fixing this issue so please try grabbing the latest update

### 4/5 — Great, and the save file issue was fixed

*2026-08-11, version 1.15.115*

I put off playing this for so long due to its popularity, the in screenshots it didn’t look like much, and I played similar games before and after this released and I didn’t like them much. I heard how generous the mobile version of the game is from a friend (the whole base game is free) so I decided to give it a try. The mobile joystick controls are annoying, but that’s just me. I bought it on pc and play with a controller, it’s way better.

### 3/5 — Jogo não abre

*2026-08-09*

Não tá abrindo de jeito nenhum, sempre aparece seguinte mensagem: “falha ao carregar dados salvos” já atualizei a versão do ios e nada

I recently bought a brand new iPhone 16 Plus and wanted to play Vampire Survivors, but the game completely refuses to start. I constantly get the message: "AN ERROR OCCURRED.

### 1/5 — Unplayable Update

*2026-08-08, version 1.15.114*

Unplayable as of the most recent update. Continuously get “An error occurred, failed to load save data” message. Have tried restarting my phone, with and without internet, disabling iCloud sync, reinstalling the game, signing out of Game Center, can’t find a solution that works. Sadly can’t play my favorite game.

Não consegue carregar os dados salvos

### 1/5 — Não abre

*2026-08-07*

O jogo simplesmente não abre, aparece uma mensagem dizendo que não foi possível carregar os dados salvos. Eu nunca baixei esse jogo antes, nunca abri, como eu teria algum dado salvo? E o pior de tudo, fica travado nessa mensagem e não sai por nada.

Doesn’t work. Just hangs on the loading screen. Tried multiple installs

### 1/5 — Will crash crash crash out！

*2026-07-30, version 1.15.113*

The game crashed in the later stages,especially when the number of weapons and the monsters increased. I’ve already turned off graphics options that might increase the load,such as damage numbers and flashes,but it still crashed.This make all efforts disappear,which is very frustrated.

Can this issue be fixed??

### 1/5 — Price change?

*2026-08-25, version 1.15.115*

I was charged 22 bucks but isnt this game supposed to be free to play?

### 1/5 — App is now stuck on loading screen

*2026-08-12*

Used to work fine now it’s broken. If it’s not fixed I’ll uninstall

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2026-08-10, version 1.15.114*

Decided to give the game a chance again after dropping a while back. Says saved data is corrupt.

### 1/5 — Game won’t launch

*2026-08-10*

Just downloaded this game for the first time and it’s giving me an error when I try launching the game

**Developer response:** Hi,

This issue has been fixed please try updating the app

### 1/5 — Terrible can’t even play

*2026-08-10, version 1.15.114*

Trash won’t even let you past the screen

### 1/5 — Ask app not to track

*2026-08-10, version 1.15.114*

If you decide to decline the apps ability to track ads it then no longer works… that’s not shady at all.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-08-10, version 1.15.114*

Opened the game for the first time and it got stuck on unable to load save data. Couldn’t even get to the title screen.

### 1/5 — Cant even load into the game

*2026-08-09, version 1.15.114*

Wish I could actually say something about the game but instead all I’m stuck dealing with is a screen saying “An error occurred. Failed to load saved data.” after downloading the game for the very first time. What saved data?? Absolutely nonsensical. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times with the same error popping up. Like ok, if you can load saved data, START A NEW GODDAMN GAME??!! No clue what they’ve got going on but yeah that was a big waste of my time so 1 star.

### 1/5 — Loading loading

*2026-08-09*

It does not load and if it does it take 15 min to!

### 1/5 — Game won’t start

*2026-08-09, version 1.15.114*

Every time I open the game it says “An error occurred. Failed to load save data” and doesn’t ever let me play the game.

### 5/5 — Perfect port of a perfect game

*2026-08-22, version 1.15.115*

Vampire Survivors has been one of my most favorite games since I first touched it. The mobile IOS version has continued my love for the game

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-13, version 1.15.115*

I had a bug and the developers fixed it literally in 2-3 days.

### 5/5 — An Appreciation Message

*2026-08-10, version 1.15.115*

I just want to start off with a thank you to Lucy and the support team; for listening, communicating, and then figuring out the problem with launching new saves for iOS. If you ever have a problem with your game or your save, don’t be afraid to email them and give them a heads up. My game is now working perfectly and I can’t wait to play more of it.

### 5/5 — 오류가 발생했습니다

*2026-08-08*

게임을 깔고 할려고 들어갔는데 오류가 발생했습니다 하고 저장데이터  불러오게 실패 이러는데 며칠째 못하고 있어요 해결해주시면 감사합니다

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-08-06, version 1.15.114*

Easily one of the best games I’ve ever played, hours of gameplay and fun as well as secrets that feel rewarding. Only problem is that late game some things are made impossible as the game crashes and kicks you out of your session, but this isn’t THAT big of a problem

### 5/5 — This is actually really fun!

*2026-07-27, version 1.15.113*

For about 1-2 years of having this game this was some of the coolest games I’ve ever played in mobile. Keep up the good work! 
Edit from 2026; not sure what people are yapping about crashing it works completely fine for me and DO NOT SAY THIS IS A RIPOFF OF SURVIVOR.IO, THIS IS THE ORIGINAL!!!

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-07-06, version 1.15.109*

### 5/5 — Easy to get into, difficult to master

*2026-06-28, version 1.15.109*

Immersive, casual, simple, addictive. Best of all it has almost no adds
