Vampire Survivors
In the game Vampire Survivors, players get to choose from a variety of characters, each with their own unique weapons and bonuses. The objective of the game is to survive for as long as possible on an endless stage with an auto-generated layout that repeats itself. The player's weapons attack automatically and the player must avoid being hit by the constant waves of monsters that roam the stage.
Defeating monsters and exploring the stage rewards the player with experience gems, which can be used to level up the character. Each level up offers the player a choice of weapons and power-ups that can be upgraded to increase their strength. The ultimate form of each weapon can be attained by fully upgrading it and meeting other specific conditions.

Vampire Survivors Gameplay
The game has a soft time limit of 15 or 30 minutes, depending on the stage chosen. At the end of the time limit, Death, a powerful enemy, will spawn and additional Deaths will appear every consecutive minute. A session that reaches or exceeds the time limit is considered a successful completion and rewards bonus gold coins.
Between sessions, accumulated gold coins can be spent to unlock new characters and power-ups. The player can also unlock new stages, weapons, and characters by completing challenges.
Vampire Survivors is set in rural Italy and is centered around the quest of the Belpaese family and other survivors to defeat the evil Bisconte Draculó who has summoned hordes of monsters to ravage the land. The quest takes the player through various monster-infested locales such as a cursed forest, a haunted library, an abandoned dairy plant, an ominous tower, and an otherworldly chapel.
Developer Luca "poncle" Galante started developing "Vampire Survivors" in 2020 when he was unemployed. He was motivated to create the game because of his previous experience as an admin for an Ultima Online server, and his desire to manage a community. The game was inspired by Magic Survival, a mobile game that featured automated character attacks on enemies.
Galante was previously a developer in the gambling industry and he utilized his expertise in creating flashy graphics for slot machines to create attractive chest-opening animations in Vampire Survivors.
Galante stated that a significant milestone, porting the game to an "industry-standard" game engine to enhance its performance, would be reached by mid-2022. The full game was released for macOS and Windows on October 20, 2022, and later ported to Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on November 10, 2022. The mobile versions for Android and iOS were released on December 8, 2022. These versions were fast-tracked in response to several clones that appeared on mobile app stores, using stolen code and assets from the original game.
