A screenshot or short video of indie hit Vampire Survivors doesn’t exactly make the strongest impression.
When that happens to you, you’ll be in happy company.
Vampire Survivors is best-described as a wave-based survival game with heavy bullet-hell elements.
Weak zombies and skeletons eventually give way to plant monsters and tough sharkmen.
A large part of Vampire Survivors' success can be attributed to its developers' approach to Early Access.
The slow build of content has brought a rare level of success, too.
The game isn’t just an indie smash–it’s arguably the sleeper hit of the year.
Its approachable first few hours belie a ridiculous amount of extra content to explore.
Put enough hours into the game, and you’ll even start getting a feel for your preferred build.
None of this is anything unique or truly innovative for the roguelite space, of course.
However, it’s Vampire Survivors' immaculate core gameplay that keeps you coming back.
It’s the perfect Steam Deck game.
And if you aren’t, you should go on Steam and buy it for $5.
Either way, you’re certainly getting your money’s worth.
