Endless Horde Survival Games

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Vampire Survivors is Coming to Nintendo Switch in 2023

— June 24, 2023 — Unique
Vampire Survivors is a gothic horror casual game with rogue-lite elements, where players have to survive a night of endless waves of enemies using various weapons and upgrades. The game was developed and published by Luca Galante, also known as poncle, and was first released for PC, Xbox, Android and iOS in late 2022. It has received critical acclaim and commercial success, selling over two million copies and winning two BAFTAs. The game is set to launch on the Nintendo Switch on August 17, 2023.

The gameplay of Vampire Survivors is fast-paced and challenging, requiring players to move around the map and avoid getting surrounded by enemies. Players can use different weapons that fire automatically, such as guns, crossbows, flamethrowers and lasers, as well as unlock character upgrades that improve their stats and abilities. The game also features a local four-player cooperative mode that allows friends to team up and fight together. The game costs $4.99 on all platforms, and has two downloadable content packs, Legacy of the Moonspell and Tides of the Foscari, that add new maps, enemies and weapons for $1.99 each.
