Vampire Survivors – the acclaimed (and still doggedly vampire-free) minimalist survival RPG from developer Poncle – is finally launching for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on 29th August.
Vampire Survivors launched into PC early access back in 2021, where it immediately set tongues wagging – partly because it cost an absurdly generous £3.99, but mostly because its mix of wave-based monster dodging and auto-bludgeoning is very blimmin’ good indeed.
“Once this wave is done, once this boss is done, once I’ve unlocked a new character or item, I should really turn off the computer and go for a run. Maybe,” wrote Christian Donlan in Eurogamer’s Recommended review. “Or maybe one more go, one more choice, one more chance to confuse speed with damage with experience.”
