He suggests it&#8217;s just one of many prototypes they&#8217;ve had in development, but the marriage of Vampire Survivors&#8217; spiraling chaos and a first-person roguelike just worked immediately.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To some people this game will look like a &#8216;blobber&#8217;, a half-unknown genre that used to be very popular on PC in the \u201980s, and that nowadays is quite rare to see,&#8221; said Luca.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The user interface, where you explore grid-based dungeons in first person using giant buttons to press on the screen to move, is a rather old concept that we\u2019re marrying with this really fast card-playing game mechanic&#8230; What sparked the idea was the fact that in a lot of roguelike games today, you get a rather bare-bones choice-tree that doesn\u2019t feel that interesting anymore. It\u2019s practical, but I wanted to create something just a bit more involved, to give a little more meaning to exploration (just not too much or we\u2019d be walking into RPG territory).&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery carousel-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\"

Luca said that exploration won&#8217;t be &#8220;a too heavy component&#8221; of Vampire Crawlers; the dungeon is really there just to add a bit of structure and provide &#8220;more interesting choices about what to do in between fights and to help in giving the feeling that you are moving through a world where a large variety of things could happen, instead of just navigating menus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fun approach: for as many deckbuilders as we&#8217;ve seen hit Steam in the last couple years, I haven&#8217;t seen one take this form before. It&#8217;ll also be pretty cozy to start playing one with a catalog of already familiar items, so you won&#8217;t have to learn what a hundred new things do and how they work together.
