V Rising

[h1][b]V Rising: A Dark and Addictive Vampire Survival Experience[/b][/h1] V Rising puts you in the role of a newly awakened vampire, clawing your way back to power in a dangerous open world teeming with humans, beasts, and rival undead. Blending survival mechanics, action combat, and base building, it challenges you to hunt, craft, and conquer your way to vampiric dominance. Whether you’re playing solo or with friends, the game thrives on the tension between predator and prey, and in this world, sometimes you’re both. [b][u]The Highlights:[/u][/b] ✅ Stylised and Appealing Art Style – The gothic-inspired visuals create a moody and atmospheric world that really draws you in. ✅ Fun and Fluid Combat – Weapon skills, spells, and dodging combine to make fast-paced and satisfying battles. ✅ Deep Building System with Lots of Options – Build and customise a sprawling castle with crafting stations, defenses, and decorations. ✅ Natural and Satisfying Difficult...

I'll give this one a yes recommend, but with the caveat that it's nothing like I thought it was going to be. If you go into it knowing what to expect, it's well done. The gameplay screenshots and videos make it look like a linear, story driven adventure game. It's NOT. If I knew what it was going to be, I wouldn't have bought it. I'm a little burned out on this kind of game and was hoping for a story. This one is largely a survival base building game. Go out and hunt a boss, unlock a thing, add to your base. Rinse and repeat a couple hundred times. It gets boring. I also find it to be un-intuitive. There's a lot you have to google to understand what you're doing. In my mind, a game should be self explanatory on the basics. But overall, for what it is, it's not a bad game. I've played a lot of bad games in this genre and this one does most things better than those games do. As long as you know what to expect and you like that kind of game, I think you'll like this one. The vampire twist...

One of the most frustrating camera angles I've ever experienced... and it felt dull and boring.

I wanted to like V Rising, unfortunately it is just not the kind of game I thought it was. To anyone mistaking this for an ARPG similar to Diablo, Grim Dawn, or Last Epoch: this is not that. The top down perspective is one of very few similarities present. There are no character classes, the same skills are unlocked, in the same order, by all characters. Combat feels floaty and flaccid, with a dodge button that is on too long of a cooldown to be very useful. There is a huge focus on crafting and base building, to the extent that you must log in and prevent your buildings from "decaying" in real time (even on an offline save file). Don't take my negative review as saying this is a "bad" game necessarily. If you enjoy crafting and survival games as well as vampires this may be right up your alley. But, if like me you work full-time, this ones a bit demanding of your free time due to the basebuilding focus and "always online" nature of the game. Also as noted, if you are looking to scr...

Take a foundation of Isometric Gameplay from diablo, build some walls out of survival and dark souls gameplay, add a roof of PvP mechanics, then paint the whole thing in a healthy shade of Vampire lore. The result is V Rising, a phenomenal game blending concepts from a half dozen different genre's into a vampire simulator worthy of Dracula's time. The game plays smoothly, it's very well polished, and the challenge of the bosses is progressively scaled, requiring players to explore various mechanics in order to proceed through each area and boss, meaning every part of the game has a use. By the time I reach the end of the single player progression, you'll feel like a very powerful vampire lord, and then the only challenge left waiting for you will be other such lords.

V Rising is a game that manages to deliver a fun and engaging vampire survival experience at its core. The gothic world is atmospheric and building up your castle feels satisfying, especially when playing with friends. The combat and boss fights are enjoyable, and the hunt for resources brings survival elements to the forefront. However, the game’s strong reliance on grinding can make progress feel unnecessarily drawn out. Advancing often requires repeatedly farming the same materials or enemies, which sometimes kills the momentum and diminishes the joy of discovery. This grind-heavy design can wear thin over time, especially if you’re hoping for a more fast-paced or story-driven experience. Another aspect that fell short for me is the abilities system. I was hoping for more powerful and thematically “vampiric” skills—as the game progressed, it would have been amazing to truly embrace the classic Dracula fantasy, maybe even transforming into a large, menacing creature with ...

To be honest, it has a lot of potential, but for some reason the game felt wanting. I cannot put my finger on it, but I wish there was more. I am the type of person to buy a huge one shot of a product with all the expansions as well as reading and watching game play. I played for a bit but it just was not there for me. Maybe in the future I can reassess but for now I cannot continue to sink time in a game that does not do it for me.

"Your manuscript is both good and original, but the parts that are good are not original, and the parts that are original are not good". This game tries to do a lot of things and it makes a tedious mess of it. The core mechanics are a poor match for the gameplay. Let's be perfectly honest: this is a bullet hell game. Why then do we have to build a sprawling base, travel for dozens of hours on foot, chop shitloads of trees/rocks/ore, and dispatch servants to farm enemy camps? Combat is quite slow, which I guess is a good thing since your superhuman character moves at a leisurely jog. Spell cooldowns are long enough that for some fights, you'll opt to choose 2 shield spells so you can rotate them (which is as much fun as it sounds). I will grant the authors that some of the boss fights are quite fun, but since there are more than 60 bosses, it could have very well been an accident. My biggest complaint though is how fucking lame the open world, survival crafter elements are due ...

[h3]Stuffy game that seems fun, and then irritates with every detail. The most disgusting camera.[/h3] Besides some pros like vampire aethetics and atmosphere, I to tell, why I cannot enjoy this game: View control. It was made by some sadist. To make it clearer, the camera rotates by holding down a key on the mouse. But when you rotate the camera, you can't cast normally, because the direction of the cast is controlled by the direction of the mouse with the key not pressed. This results in the fact that you start a cast, see that the boss starts his cast, rotate the camera so as not to take damage or get stunned, and your cast goes somewhere where it is no longer needed. The view and camera controls are disgusting in principle, you need to watch the boss, his AoE procasts and also possibly dodge small suckers. Here you are controlling the hero in the battle arena, and he rests against some stone on the ground or gets stuck in a tree or something similar. Then you get beat up because yo...

Please EXPAND the goddamn map, make a vampire on a dessert or something or even in the moon.
