Vampire Crawlers from the Vampire Survivors dev poncle gets a new trailer and upcoming demo

Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors is a bit of a mouthful isn't it? There's a new trailer to show it off, and details of a demo.

I fully expect this will suck away so much time from me, just like the original Vampire Survivors did. A deck-builder with the same kind of chaos is exactly what the doctor ordered.

The developers at poncle have started a new video series to go over the main gameplay mechanics, with the first up now detailing "the simplest mechanic (Turboturn) and possibly the deepest one (Card Customization)". From the announcement posted on Steam:

The Turboturn - Turn-based combat without the wait: you don't have to pause for animations to complete before triggering your next move. The game stacks and executes your ability inputs with precision, allowing you to play at your own pace. Chaotic? Calm and thoughtful? Random-bullshit-go? Everything works, the results are accurate regardless of your preferred speed.

Card Customisation - Gems allow you to customize your cards with a variety of effects, ranging from simple damage multipliers, to Weapon Evolutions, to head-scratching logic twists. Whether you want a simple power boost or deep strategic planning, Gems give every player the tools to create game-breaking combos.

As for the demo they've confirmed one will be available during Steam Next Fest starting February 23rd. They've also already hit 200,000+ wishlists. No doubt this will be another big hit for the developer.
