Vampire Survivors Review and Walkthrough 2024

Vampire Survivors is a new video game by Luca Galante, also known as Poncle. It’s a game where you have to fight and survive against vampires. After being available early in December 2021, the game was officially released for macOS, Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Android, Nintendo Switch, and iOS in late 2022.

Vampire Survivors is a game with a mode where you must fight off many enemies in big open maps. You choose a character who looks like a Belmont and try to survive against many monsters for 30 minutes, getting stronger as you go.

Vampire Survivor does shooting differently. Every weapon is different. They have different areas of effect, how fast they shoot, and how much damage they do. Instead of just aiming at the enemies, the weapons are timed to shoot based on where you and the enemies are. So, we will give you a detailed Vampire Survivors review and walkthrough.

Vampire Survivors: Overview

We like how the pre-set firing patterns help us create a matching collection of weapons. For instance, big and strong fireballs go well with something accurate and consistent like Imelda’s wand or the boomerang crosses. At the beginning of the game, if you take your time to build and plan carefully, it will give you a lot of power and excitement near the end of the game. we believe this is what makes Vampire Survivors special.

Compare this to another hero, Imelda Belpase the vampire has qualities like those in Castlevania. She begins with a special wand that shoots at the nearest enemy. Imelda can attack her enemies right away, which lets her play more aggressively from the start. We like the high risk and high reward of Arca in Vampire Survivors, but there are many other options too.

Vampire Survivors: Storyline

Vampire Survivors takes place in the countryside of Italy in the year 2021. A lot of scary monsters called the evil Bisconte Draculó are destroying the land. The Belpaese family and other brave people are trying to find and defeat Draculó. They go on a journey through places like a scary forest, a spooky library, a deserted dairy plant, a creepy tower, and a strange chapel that is filled with monsters. Kill many night creatures and stay alive until morning. Vampire Survivors is a scary game where you can make choices to help you beat the monsters.

Vampire Survivors: Gameplay Overview and Evolution

In Vampire Survivors Nintendo Switch Rom, you choose a character and go into a big field. Your goal is to stay alive and fight off waves of enemies. In the beginning, the player only has one weapon to use against the enemies. By defeating enemies, the player gets better and can unlock new weapons and items to help them beat stronger enemies.

The game is so much fun to play and the rules are well planned out, even though they are not very original or unexpected. The game is a fun and challenging experience, with gameplay that will make you want to keep trying. Fans of rogue-like games or short and well-made games will be very happy with this.

Vampire Survivors Evolution

Evolution is when a basic weapon gets turned into a stronger weapon by using a special item. A Union is when two weapons are put together. A gift is something extra you receive when you meet certain conditions, like a weapon or an item that helps you. Improved weapons often have the same basic stats as the original weapon, but with added special abilities.

For example, some weapons that can affect a wide area may have extra abilities that work in that area. And some weapons may have different damage levels because they work differently. When two weapons are combined into one, it creates a united weapon that shares features with evolved weapons. This means one weapon slot becomes empty after getting a united weapon. Presents are like a bonus item that you can use along with your regular weapon. They don’t take the place of your regular weapon.

Vampire Survivors Weapon Evolution

In Vampire Survivors the character uses weapons to fight enemies, and each weapon has its special way of doing that. Most weapons hurt the enemies, but some also make the enemies weaker or make the player stronger. Each character can carry as many as 6 different weapons simultaneously.

When a basic weapon reaches its highest level and a specific item is found, it can change into a better weapon by getting a Treasure Chest. Not every weapon changes over time.

Some characters (Mortaccio, Yatta Cavallo, and O’Sole Meeo) will upgrade their weapon when they transform into a new form, as long as they have the necessary relic and meet the right conditions.

Now we will give you a detailed evolution chart to get a transparent view of every weapon evolution in vampire survivors.

Vampire Survivors: Guide

In Vampire Survivors, you have to stay alive and fight off lots of scary enemies for as long as you can. Even though Vampire Survivors may seem like a basic survival game, it’s hard to last 30 minutes to finish a level, especially if you’re new to the game.

This guide for Vampire Survivors has lots of tips and strategies to help you plan better and understand how to play the game so you can survive against lots of enemies.

Play Offensive

When playing a survival game, you might naturally want to protect yourself and stay away from the other players trying to attack you. However, in Vampire Survivors, using this method will make you weak and without enough power when the group of enemies becomes larger and stronger.

Instead of running away from the monsters, try to fight them smartly. Defeating as many enemies as you can will help you earn XP gems and get Chests. These will help you make your stats and weapons better. A tough mindset should be used when you’re trying to level up and when you’re using coins to power up during your runs.

Observe Enemies

Vampire Survivors has lots of different kinds of enemies. Some of them are strong and have more health, like a boss. It’s important to study how your enemies act and know how strong they are so you can take advantage of the weaker ones and get rewards from the stronger ones.

You can attack weak enemies like bats and blue ghosts to reduce their numbers and collect XP gems to level up quickly. When you’re in trouble, find and defeat weaker enemies to create a way to safety or to get valuable items like Floor Chicken.

Utilize All Coins

As you keep running, you will pick up coins from the ground and get lots of coins when you open Chests. If you lose, you’ll take these coins with you to the lobby. And if you can survive the horde for 30 minutes to finish a stage, you’ll get a 500-coin bonus. These coins will help you make 18 different parts of your game stronger for your next run.

You might not want to spend your money on PowerUps in Vampire Survivors but don’t worry, you can get your coins back if you change your mind. You can return and change your PowerUps as often as you want without losing any money. So, you might want to use them a lot until you can’t buy any more upgrades.

Unlock Evolved Weapons

Vampire Survivors gives you lots of different weapons when you play, and you can uncover most of them as you keep playing the game. The strongest weapons, called Evolved Weapons, are a little harder to unlock.

Improved weapons are powerful and can cause a lot of damage over a large area. They are good for fighting big groups of monsters and have special abilities and rewards.

Evolve Garlic

Garlic is used as a weapon in the game Vampire Survivors. This is the first weapon that Poe Ratcho has. You can open it by eating five Floor Chicken. You can turn garlic into a dish called Soul Eater by adding Pummarola to it.

Garlic’s debuffs are very helpful in the late game. Tough enemies that need lots of hits to beat will be easier to push away with more force, and some big enemies can get frozen if they stay in the circle for a while. When you use Garlic with a weapon like Unholy Vespers or Mannajja, it helps you push away enemies so you can stay still and not move.

The Clock Lancet works well with Garlic. Garlic makes the enemy easier to freeze, so the Clock Lancet can freeze bosses. Even strong frozen enemies can be easily killed with Garlic. If the player doesn’t want to do anything, they can use Garlic with Attractorb.

This will make enemies that die from the Garlic drop experience just barely out of the player’s reach. Garlic can quickly kill most small enemies. Defeating easy enemies fast can help you gain lots of experience and level up faster. Even in later levels, it can still kill some groups of enemies right away.

Evolve Pentagram

Pentagram is a strong tool in the game Vampire Survivors. This is Christine Davain’s first weapon. You can unlock it by staying alive for 20 minutes as any character. The Pentagram can change into the Gorgeous Moon with a Crown.

Having luck makes it less likely for things to break, so it’s good to have the Clover unless you want things to break on purpose. Because Pentagram can destroy Pickups and Treasure Chests, it’s not a good idea to choose it too soon if you want to evolve it into Gorgeous Moon. Even though Crown is helping to make up for the loss of experience, it is still not easy to find something to replace Treasure Chests.

Kill or Beat Death Vampire

Although there are many ways to beat Death, this method seems to be the easiest for Vampire Survivor players to defeat on their first try. Here’s a list of everything you need to make this load work well.

• Discover the secret area.
• Obtain the yellow symbol.
• Open up Crimson Shroud and Infinite Corridor.
• Use these things to lessen the harm from Death and live for more than 30 minutes.

Cast Spell

A spell is a way to use cheat codes to unlock characters, levels, and items in a game. To use most spells, you need to go to the Secrets menu, which you can get to by finding the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane. But some spells can be used from the main menu.

You have to type each key for the spell within 30 seconds of the last one for it to work. If you don’t enter the codes in the Secrets menu, you have to type each key within two seconds.

Unlock Endless Mode

In Endless Mode of Vampire Survivors, the timer starts over after 30 minutes. Here’s how players can open this mode. Endless Mode makes the game more challenging but in a different way than Inverse Mode. The Reaper never shows up, and the enemies keep getting stronger. This mode is very challenging for players who have been playing for a long time and think that Vampire Survivors has become too easy after getting all the power-ups and unlocking all the weapons and characters.

The last level, Eudaimonia Machine, needs to be completed before a player can access Endless Mode. The player needs to collect all the relics except for Gracia’s Mirror and Seventh Trumpet. Beginner players will need a few hours to finish this. Many of these old objects can be found in certain places. Gathering some relics is harder, like the Mindbender, which needs at least 50 entries in the collection. In all, there are eleven things to collect to make the Eudaimonia Machine work. They are-

• Grim Grimoire – Located in Inlaid Library
• Ars Gouda – Located in Dairy Plant
• Milky Way Map – Located in Dairy Plant
• Magic Banger – Located in Green Acres
• Sorceress’ Tears – Located in Gallo Tower
• Glass Vizard – Located in Moongolow
• Mindbender – 50 Entries In The Collection
• Yellow Sign – Located in Holy Forbidden
• Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane – Locate in Bone Zone
• Great Gospel – Located in Cappella Magna
• Randomazzo – Located in Gallo Tower

Hopefully, this guide and tips will make your Nintendo Switch Gaming experience with Vampire Survivors more enjoyable and efficient. So, Enjoy!

Vampire Survivors: Technical Overview

Vampire Survivors has basic graphics and a simple map and enemies, but it still stays in my mind even though it doesn’t seem like it should. But I couldn’t stop myself from spending over a hundred hours trying out different weapon and ability combinations, playing round after round to reach the end and unlock all the characters, upgrade all the weapons, and discover all the secrets.

The game’s charm can wear off when there are boring parts, but when you discover new things or levels, you’ll want to keep playing for a little longer.

You can find the Vampire Survivors Digital copies are available in various stores and platforms.

Our Overall Experience

Vampire Survivors was created by one person and released on the Nintendo Switch in less than a year. That’s really amazing, but it seems like they are moving so fast that they are not paying as much attention to how it looks. It’s a pity because it’s one of the best games this year. It didn’t get a perfect score because the enemies, levels, and characters seem like they were put together quickly without much thought. The game would have been better with a consistent art style, but the only problems are the bland soundtrack and the game’s unimpressive.

Final Thoughts

Vampire Survivors also wants to do more than just the minimum. A lot of love was put into making it, even though you might not notice it at first because of its simple design and presentation. Each character and enemy will have more options, and there are lots of extra levels and hidden surprises to discover. There’s some important and substantial information here.

We think it would be really hard to not like Vampire Survivors. Usually, we don’t like it when a game gets stuck in our head and starts making us feel good. We often feels like someone is trying to control us. However, the game doesn’t ask for more money after you pay the admission fee, and it feels harmless because there’s a clear end to the game. It wants to make you happy for a short time but will eventually let you go back to your everyday life.

Vampire Survivors is good and you should play it on Nintendo Switch or any other device. The game is easy to play but there’s a lot of interesting things to discover. Just remember that once it has control over you, it can be hard to break free.
