The indie hit Vampire Survivors is currently completely free in the Epic Games Store, and you can even keep it. However, you have to be quick.
What kind of game is this? Vampire Survivors is an action roguelike with a pixel look. Like in other bullet hell games, you mow down hordes of enemies, collect upgrades, and fight round after round for your survival.
The Epic Games Store is giving away Vampire Survivors until December 20 at 5 PM. So if you want to grab the game, you don’t have much time left.
You can watch a trailer for the game here:
How does Vampire Survivors play? At first glance, it plays almost on its own: your character attacks enemies automatically, and you only have to move through the level. You collect dropped orbs from enemies and ensure that you are not overwhelmed.
After every completed round, you buy new weapons and upgrades that make you increasingly powerful. However, you will also have to face larger hordes and stronger enemies.
If you are defeated by your enemies, your current survivor is lost forever. However, the gold you collected will still be useful for your next survivor. So you won’t start completely from scratch.
Playing as a Raid Boss
How is Vampire Survivors received by players? Vampire Survivors is considered one of the best indie games of all time. While there is no way to rate games in the Epic Games Store, on Steam, 98% of the reviews for the game are positive.
The gameplay is engaging and fun – even without the pressure of selling you microtransactions. User Flavius Claudius Julianus writes in his review of the game on Steam: “Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be the raid boss? That’s how it is.”
A game on Steam translates the gameplay of Vampire Survivors into Norse mythology and even comes with quite stylish 3D graphics.
