Vampire Survivors has acquired one other patch, which provides 2 new Arcanas, a brand new problem stage referred to as Boss Rash, and a shock new unlockable character. The brand new character known as Gyorunton, and is a blue, three-headed and armless dragon, who has a Bracelet as a brand new beginning weapon. The place does it put on the bracelet? I do not need to know.
This is a short trailer displaying a few of patch 0.9.0’s additions:
Because the patch notes clarify, 0.9.0 aka “The Flashy One” additionally adjustments Vampire Survivors’ save sport location, provides a brand new music monitor, and fixes a handful of bugs.
Gyorunton is a shock as a result of it wasn’t featured on the event roadmap. You possibly can unlock the character by surviving for quarter-hour with just one weapon on the brand new Boss Rash problem stage. Boss Rash is, because the identify implies, a boss rush mode, the place the enemy waves encompass bosses from all of Vampire Survivors’ phases with elevated well being. (The Boss Rash stage must be unlocked first, too.)
Vampire Survivors hooked me early on, when it solely had two phases and a handful of characters. It is such a ridiculous spectacle: a hack-and-slasher with all of the compulsive rewards of Diablo with out the necessity to even click on. In truth, it is such a ridiculous spectacle that, though seemingly approaching the purpose of being content material full, its builders have plans to maneuver it to a brand new engine to place an finish to late-game framerate deaths.
Regardless of being considerably expanded since these early days after I first cherished it, Vampire Survivors remains to be solely £2.09/€2.39/$3 on Steam. Not dangerous for what’s completely one in all 2022’s finest video games.
