Vampire Survivors is a time survival game with roguelite elements with an emphasis on minimalistic gameplay.

"Hell is empty, the devils are here, and there's no place to run or hide," the description reads. "All you can do is survive as long as you can until death inevitably puts an end to your struggles. Gather gold in each run to buy upgrades and help the next survivor."

Following a Steam early access period in December 2021, the game launched on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and mobile in late 2022 and is now regarded as one of the best roguelike games of recent years.

Since its debut, the survival action game has grown to be the third highest rated game on Steam, with over 220,000 user reviews, scoring an 98% overwhelmingly positive rating. It's also now one of the most-played games on the Steam Deck.
