Be the bullet hell with your besties!
In co-op mode, you can either continue your current game or start a new adventure with friends to face the hordes of the undead. Players can seamlessly switch between single and co-op play between stages and unleash chaos. Like every good co-op game, Vampire Survivors will also offer opportunities to test your friendship and stretch the definition of the word “co-op”. The new mode also features the co-op specific item “The Friendship Amulet” as well as various co-op settings to customise the co-op experience.

Steam version fully switching to new engine
The Steam version of Vampire Survivors has been running in parallel on its original engine Phaser and its new engine (that the team needed for porting and better stability) for a while on Steam. Now that the new engine is thoroughly tested and runs better than the old one, the Steam version of the game will fully switch to the new engine starting today (17th August).
On this note, the team would like to say a big thanks to Phaser! “I had a lot of fun building Vampire Survivors in it and can highly recommend it if you are interested in making wild games pretty fast!”, says poncle founder Luca Galante.
