Vampire Crawlers from the Vampire Survivors dev gets a fun new trailer

I am seriously stoked by Vampire Crawlers that adds to the world of Vampire Survivors with a fast-paced deck-builder from developer poncle.

Announced back in November, it's more of a casual deck-builder set in the same world as Vampire Survivors and will no doubt be another success for poncle. They've just revealed it already has amassed over 170K wishlists on Steam and they said: "So far we have published only what is effectively a hype trailer to try to convey how it feels to play Vampire Crawlers, with a few sneak peeks at many of the game features and options to snowball into unhinged chaos. So, for a first update, we are showing a new gameplay trailer and some simple and unedited gameplay footage of the very first dungeon floor, focused on basic gameplay. This should let you see what is at the core of Vampire Crawlers: have fun playing satisfying abilities in turbo turn-based battles, at whatever speed you prefer."

More highlights:

• Snowballing, turn‑based carnage: Play cards in ascending mana order to land combos; each step multiplies the next card’s effect. Use Wilds to extend the stack and keep going to 10, 20, 30… Can you reach infinite?
• Pick your pace: Either take your time and be tactical, or play turns as fast as you humanly can: the outcome is always accurate!
• Deck-Building: Accumulate experience and level up to gain new cards, headbutt chests for customization gems and power‑ups; chase weapon evolutions and summon survivors to trigger cascade of effects and break the game.
• Dungeon Crawling: Explore dungeons packed with something seldom seen in Vampire Survivors: functioning walls. And then all sorts of unique treasures and interactions. Find the shovel to dig into the next floor, that will most likely take place in the clouds!

I really do love the look of this. Taking the pure chaos of Vampire Survivors and tuning into in a spin-off with a dungeon crawling deck-building focus. Excellent.
