A survival RPG with its own characteristics and a true understanding of vampires ★ 8.5/10 — The vampire gameplay is well done, and the survival process is indeed time-consuming ⊕ BEST FOR: Players who like vampire themes, castle construction, top-down combat, cooperative survival, fixed maps, open-world PvP, and custom Private Games. ⊖ NOT FOR: Players who are unwilling to collect repeatedly, prefer random maps and story-driven RPGs, want to freely advance the process, permanently retain the progress of the Official Servers, or are ready to play single-player with the default settings. ▣ Media Benchmarks: Metacritic PC 83/100 · OpenCritic 83/100 · IGN 9/10 · PC Gamer 89/100. ◆ Opening As of Update 1.1: Invaders of Oakveil, new areas, bosses, weapons, and main features have been added through free updates, and paid DLC only involves cosmetic packs and soundtrack content. ◆ Strengths ⊕ The identity of a vampire does affect how you play The sun will burn in a few seconds, and you have to find shadows on the way during the day, but the shadows will move over time. The blood pool has been consumed, and the bonuses provided by different Blood Types are also different. Shapeshifting can help rush, sneak, and explore, and some special areas must also be entered by it. Silver, garlic, and human settlements have their own places to pay attention to. You will choose to hunt at night and go back before dawn. You will also detour because of the sun, the enemies on the road, or the blood type you are looking for. Production, research, production of equipment, arrangement of Servants, and detention of Prisoners reserved as blood sources are all carried out in their own Gothic castles. At first it was just a place to stay, but slowly a decent vampire palace could be built. The Advanced Game Settings of Private Games can also adjust resource output, crafting time, enemy strength, blood drain, sunlight, and death penalties. ⊕ The combat is excellent in the survival game, and the fixed map also makes value The combat uses a top-down angle, WASD movement, mouse aiming, and movement abilities (Veils), weapon skills, and spells. With another weapon, the basic attack, skill, and attack range will all change; the spell school and equipment also support different builds such as melee, ranged, summoning, control, and damage over time. It is not as complicated as a dedicated action game, but the movement, combat feedback, and build options are already better than most survival games. Many V Bloods have their own moves, arena mechanics, and phase changes, and they need to be familiar with them before they can deal with them. Brutal will increase skills and change combat behavior, not just increase health and damage. The factions, resources, enemies and patrol routes in each area are different, and different factions can be encountered in the wild to fight each other. You can take the opportunity to pick up a bargain, or you may bump into a patrol that can't be beaten at all when you are on your way. After you are familiar with the map, the fun of exploring comes more from your understanding of the environment: where is it dangerous, which way to transport materials, and where to find suitable prey. These experiences are useful in collecting, castle site selection, and PvP. ◆ Weaknesses ⊖ The upgrading of the production chain makes the upgrade feel fulfilling, and it is really abrasive The problem is that the later, the more steps will be taken to collect, refine, transport, and make a string. Many early materials have to continue to be collected in the later stage, because they still have to be used for advanced materials. Version 1.1 reduces some chores in the castle. The Treasury allows the crafting and construction to directly use the territory inventory, and the Redistribution Engine can transfer items between production facilities, but it is relatively late to get it. Private Games can increase resource output and shorten crafting time, but the steps to take are still those. To play alone, you have to fight monsters, collect, ship goods, arrange production, and maintain the castle by yourself. Two or more people divide the labor, and the rhythm will be much better. Room and flooring bonuses will also affect the layout. If you want to build a castle beautifully, you have to consider production efficiency. ⊖ Although the growth route is very clear, there is less freshness when replaying Following the Journal, you basically know what to do next: defeat the V Blood boss, get the unlocked content (V Blood Unlocks), get new equipment, Spell Points and recipes, and then go to the back area until the final boss. Weapons and skills can be selected, and some bosses can also be played in a different order, but many tools necessary to advance the process still have to defeat the designated boss to get them. If you start another game, it will still be those areas, roads and resource points, and the growth route will be much the same. Compared with survival games with randomly generated maps, after the first round is played, the next round can bring a lot less freshness of exploration. ⊖ The castle needs to be reopened for large-scale updates, and the built castle will inevitably make people reluctant As of version 1.1, large-scale content updates have made changes to maps, units, and systems, and players have been asked to reopen the save. The old local saves, Private Games, and self-hosted servers can be left in the corresponding old version to continue playing, but they cannot be brought into the updated world. The Official Servers will be reset during large-scale updates, or they may be cleared in a fixed cycle, and the characters, resources, and castles cannot be left forever. If you can save the blueprint or building layout, at least you don't have to build it from scratch every time. Of course, map changes and server balance must also be considered, and it will not be as simple as directly importing the old save. ⊖ Even if you have to fight for PvP, you have to fight for who has time If players want to fight for territory and find each other's castle, they must also consider whether their layout is convenient for production or more resistant to Castle Raiding. However, in a server that opens castle raids and wipes regularly, the amount of resources, clan size, online time, progression speed, and raid hours will all affect the results. Organized clans can collect, produce, and guard their homes separately, and it is much harder for small teams and people who enter the service late. It's really exciting when the competition is fierce, but if you can't follow the server's schedule and want to stay competitive, you may have to invest more time than expected. ◆ Conclusion From the first time I played it in 2024 to the present, what I admire most is that "V Rising" has added so many things and still retains its original characteristics. If you can accept fixed maps, linear growth, and are willing to spend time collecting and operating, the vampire survival experience it provides is indeed worth a try.

I found V Rising to be a surprisingly good game. Why surprising? Well, I wasn't expecting much. I never heard of Stunlock Studios before, and only bought it because it was going cheap and a friend recommended it (for the base building). The graphics are the first thing that struck me. They're pretty simple, but the style the devs used is very effective and the result looks stunning. The appearance of this game will age well. The combat is a lot of fun. There's a large variety of weapons, and they all perform differently, and have their own special moves/attacks. Initially this can be overwhelming, but as you learn what each weapon does then it becomes obvious that the range and versatility means you can take many approaches to combat. There's something for everyone here. Combat is expanded by the huge number of spells which also have many different effects. Both weapons and spells can be modified and tailored to your liking. Several sets of armour are available at each tier, catering for various styles of play (tank, mobility, magic), along with a range of buffs (via potions, elixirs, and "blood types"). It's a comprehensive and well balanced system. When it comes to fighting bosses and combat in general, some of the bosses and packs of mobs roam around. This can be used to your advantage if you engineer a situation where you kite a boss into a bad situation, but sometimes you might get ambushed by mobs or even another boss. Personally I found this highly entertaining, and spent hours stalking bosses who might otherwise be too difficult, waiting for a scenario that could swing the battle my way. If fighting where you may be interrupted then it pays to be aware of your surroundings. Base building is straightforward yet impressive. You can build a massive castle without much effort, and the range of devices and decorations is vast. If you enjoy pottering around with bases then there's a lot to keep you occupied, but if you just want something quick and easy then the V Rising provides that too. The game loop revolves around killing (about 65) bosses to unlock more machines, abilities, weapons, etc, and exploring the large map to obtain the resources to make what you need. There's a good variety of zones, and plenty of places to explore, from wealthy cities to creepy forests. Travel is interesting given you can shapeshift into many different forms, and horses can be ridden (and trained/improved). You can obtain servants to help you gather resources as the game progresses, so you're spending more time fighting and exploring rather than having to farm materials. Optimisation is good, and with all settings maxed playing at 4k/120Hz my rig (RTX 4090/7800X3D) was barely tested. I imagine players with older machines can expect decent performance given how well the game ran on my machine. I did not purchase the DLC as it's strictly cosmetic, and there are so many options with the base game that I didn't feel the need. Although it was nice to know that sections of the game aren't gated behind DLC. I felt that this was a fair and responsible approach to DLC, and appreciate the devs' attitude with respect to this often problematic area. Basically if you like this kind of game (beating bosses to progress, experimenting with combat, exploring, and base building), then you're likely to enjoy V Rising. The game looks great, plays great, and there's a lot to keep you busy. The whole package comes across as very polished. I literally don't have a bad thing to say about the game, which is unusual, as I'm a pretty picky gamer and it doesn't take much to set me off. I'll definitely be checking out what Stunlock Studios come up with next.
Game is great, lots of content, you can be a rat and prank peasants with bowl cuts It is a complete, finished game with a lot of things to do; if anyone tells you it's "abandoned," then they don't know what that word means, and they need to stop thinking of everything like a perpetual live service game
I thought V Rising was a fantasy game. But apparently it's just my daily routine. Sunlight? Avoid. Go outside? No thanks. Active at night? Yes. This game didn’t let me roleplay a vampire. It just confirmed that I already am one. 10/10 Most relatable game I've ever played!
You wake up naked in a crypt, immediately allergic to daylight, and within an hour you’re committing home invasion on a lumberjack to steal his blood type like some kind of gothic mosquito. V Rising in a nutshell: Be vampire Punch bear Drink construction worker Build evil Pinterest castle Get emotionally attached to crafting stations The gameplay loop is illegal levels of addictive. You go out saying “I’ll just get some copper.” Three hours later you’re: - redesigning your castle foyer - hunting a boss for a hat you don’t need - reorganizing your prison so the 100% scholar blood guy has better vibes Combat? Surprisingly tight on both K&M and controller. Nothing like getting vaporized by a nun with a flamethrower to remind you you’re just an undead raccoon in a cape. Base building? Dangerous. You start with “small twigs shack” and end with “Welcome to Castle Overcompensation, please admire the symmetrical torture wing.” Also: The sun is your real nemesis Trees are the second That one patrol that always catches you at 3% HP is third Multiplayer ranges from: “Let’s cooperate, fellow creatures of the night” to “Your castle location offends me. Prepare to evaporate.” And you get cool powers. Blood lasers. Purple chaos meteor shower. Undead armies. Storms. Ice beams. Just play it, fools.
