If you’re looking for something to sink your teeth into this weekend (apologies), you could do far worse than take a look at developer Stunlock Studios’ acclaimed vampire survival adventure V Rising – which is free to play on Steam for the next few days.
V Rising launched back in May after two years of Steam early access development, presenting players (and their equally elegant friends) with a rich, more-ish game of isometric survival, where the goal is to assert your vampiric superiority across a gloomy, gothic open-world.
It’s got a bunch of neats twists on the survival formula, all playing into the whole vampire thing – including a blood-sucking mechanic that gives you specific abilities depending on the creatures you drain, and progress that involves sticking to the shadows during daylight hours (lest you sizzle to ash). Its most exciting feature, though, is that you get to building your own looming gothic castle – and who hasn’t ever wished they had one of those?
