Vampire Survivors is a dynamic action game with simple pixel graphics and a top-down view. In it you need to hold out until sunrise, destroying hordes of blood-sucking (and not only) monsters. All that is required of the player is to deftly maneuver among crowds of creatures, combining their weapons and collecting experience and upgrade items that drop from them. The gameplay is so simplified in control that there is not even a standard shooting button, and each type of weapon has unique projectile behavior. Hordes will be formed from different types of monsters, which will require the player to adapt tactics in a timely manner.

In the Vampire Survivors survival game, the following items are available to pacify opponents:

• Cross – flies at the nearest enemy, and then in the opposite direction.
• Whip – strikes horizontally, passing through. Multiple hits can be accumulated.
• Magic wand – shoots a beam of magic in the direction of the closest enemy.
• Throwing knives – fly in the direction of the hero’s gaze, piercing monsters along the way without stopping.

The game has several locations that differ not only in design, but also in the type of attackers. To complete the stage you need to hold out for 30 minutes. As you move through the adversaries, you will come across torches, breaking which you can replenish your lives or get a useful item. The latter improves characteristics or skills, such as maximum health, recovery, armor, movement speed, luck, attraction of experience crystals, etc. Sometimes you can meet bosses that drop chests with valuable loot.
