Vampire Survivors has acquired one other patch, which provides 2 new Arcanas, a brand new problem stage known as Boss Rash, and a shock new unlockable character. The brand new character is named 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 wish to know.
This is a quick trailer exhibiting 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 may 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 title implies, a boss rush mode, the place the enemy waves encompass bosses from all of Vampire Survivors’ levels with elevated well being. (The Boss Rash stage must be unlocked first, too.)
Vampire Survivors hooked me early on, when it solely had two levels 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. The truth is, 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 beloved it, Vampire Survivors continues to be solely £2.09/€2.39/$3 on Steam. Not unhealthy for what’s completely considered one of 2022’s finest video games.
