Vampire Crawlers turns Vampire Survivors into a deckbuilder that makes for a game you can’t put down.

The next roguelike game from Vampire Survivors developer poncle is just as fast-paced and addictive as its predecessor, with a deck-building twist.

9/10

The hours slip away, the day turns to mist and the numbers grow with your combo chains, all to the tune of that insidiously swaying music and a fireworks display of crackling pixels and effects. Goodness me, Poncle, what have you done... Vampire Crawlers is nothing short of outstanding and its possibilities are dizzying. Play at your own risk, for this is, if possible, even better and more polished than its predecessor.

Making use of many familiar elements, the deck-builder is an addictive, fun, and content-rich experience.

Vampire Crawlers is a wonderful follow-up to a game I hold dear. It translates seamlessly from the bullet-heaven genre into the deck building genre. While there are a few frustrating levels and as of now a lack of endgame content to keep me going, there’s enough here to justify playing this for hours on end and keep you engaged. If you’re a fan of Slay the Spire or Balatro, Vampire Crawlers is absolutely a must grab, even if you have no prior experience with Vampire Survivors.

Vampire Crawlers Review | Vampire Survivors becomes a hybrid dungeon crawler and roguelite deckbuilder. Does it work?

7/10

To say that Vampire Survivors has been influential is a massive understatement – it quite literally spawned an entire genre of bullet heaven/Survivors-likes. There’s an argument to be made for and against that being a good thing, but there’s no denying that the game itself is stellar. The sheer dopamine of it all makes it a perfect game to just hop in and out of, but at its core, you’re doing the same thing and just watching numbers go up. It makes the brain happy. So, can Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors pull off the same kind of trick?

7/10

Vampire Crawlers is a well-constructed dungeon looter with quite an engaging card combat system, let down by repetitiveness that arrives a little too soon and a complete absence of any story whatsoever.

Vampire Crawlers is the best kind of follow-up one could hope for, taking everything that made Survivors special into an entirely new genre.

Vampire Crawlers is a strong contender for my 2026 Game of the Year. If it weren't for some difficulty issues that need tweaking, it would already have taken that spot, Grand Theft Auto 6 be damned. The gameplay loop is fun and addictive, rewarding experimentation and offering countless opportunities for different builds. Exploring dungeons has never been more fun, and I'm far more eager to see more Vampire Crawlers content than a sequel to Vampire Survivors.
