  “V Rising is a vampire title from Stunlock Studios, bringing an original theme to survival games. It offers an excellent experience for those who want to test their skills against other players and those who prefer to build in peace. It addresses issues plaguing other multiplayer survival games by offering players predefined rule sets to enter. We appreciate the dynamic adaptation throughout the game regarding equipment and spells. The fact that you play as a vampire is felt at every turn. The mechanics of sunburn and blood drinking are original and fun. Although Stunlock previously worked on smaller projects that unfortunately didn't last long in the spotlight, they now bring an entertaining game for several hundred hours.”

  “V Rising is a fascinating ARPG that lets players survive as a vampire in a gothic world full of danger and supernatural phenomena. Every aspect of the game, from building castles to thrilling PvP battles, reveals the developers’ meticulous work. It offers a perfect balance between survival and castle management, with an emphasis on combat strategy and a captivating, eerie soundtrack. The game not only entertains but also envelops you in its dark embrace, offering challenges alongside a unique experience within the survival game genre. Unfortunately, it currently lacks substantial end-game content. However, the developers promise to regularly add new challenges.”

  “V Rising left Early Access after two years. Vampire Survival tempts with its juicy gameplay, atmosphere and online elements. However, this is not a title for lonely bloodsuckers, but for entire clans ready for an arduous grind and demanding bosses.”

  “V Rising is an excellent game rooted in vampire folklore, blending survival elements with action RPG-style combat that will keep you glued to the screen, offering numerous engaging challenges and a large amount of content for every type of player. While it still has some minor issues and an excessive reliance on real-time progression that might deter some players, we highly recommend giving it a chance, even to those who usually avoid this genre, as it might just surprise you.”

  “V Rising is a devilishly addictive action RPG - but only once you've worked through the game's fairly tedious first act. Getting your castle up and running takes time and patience, but if you can embrace the grind, you'll discover a dynamic open world that's full of interesting ideas and satisfying gameplay loops.”
