So, what’s the free game? It’s none other than the critically acclaimed 2022 hit, Vampire Survivors. Developed by Poncle, this game held its own against gaming giants like Elden Ring, God of War: Ragnarok, Resident Evil Village, and Horizon Forbidden West. Originally priced at a mere $5, it’s now free for a limited time.
Vampire Survivors earned rave reviews upon release, boasting Metacritic scores between 87 and 95 across different platforms. Players also embraced this roguelike shoot ’em up, resulting in an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam, with 98% of over 231,600 user reviews praising the game. This places it among the highest-rated games on Steam.
For those unfamiliar with the game, the official description reads: “Vampire Survivors is a time survival game with minimalistic gameplay and roguelite elements. Hell is empty, the devils are here, and there’s no place to run or hide. 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.”
The playtime for Vampire Survivors varies depending on your playstyle. A focused playthrough takes roughly 14 hours. Exploring side content doubles that playtime, while completionists can expect to spend around 50 hours to fully experience everything the game offers.
