I’m not going to go and complain about all of the super-cool collaborations that have happened in Vampire Survivors; however, I do fondly remember a time when poncle’s brilliant auto-shooter was much more self-serving and not dominated by other IPs.
Vampire Crawlers is the studio’s next home-cooked game, and I think a big part of the reason why I’m so excited by the idea is the renewed focus on poncle’s original creation.
Crawlers takes the essence of Survivors and remixes it into a deckbuilder with first-person and RPG elements. It sounds like it’s going to be very silly, but in the best possible kind of way, and I’m really eager to take a look when it lands on mobile platforms, PC, and consoles next year (“or whenever we think it’s ready”).
While we wait for our first hands-on with Vampire Crawlers, we’re going to have to amuse ourselves with mere glimpses of the game. And that’s exactly what we got today: another brief look at some gameplay in a new preview trailer that shows off the first-person perspective, the core gameplay, and a few familiar-looking locations from VS.
If that’s not enough to sate your thirst for footage, there’s also another slice of gameplay for you to watch below. It’s slightly longer and unedited (and unlisted on YT, so you won’t find it on their channel), and you can check that out below while you contemplate the fact that there are already more than 170,000 wishlists for the game over on Steam!
