Chaos and comedy. Death and rebirth. Luck and, uh, running out of luck. A good roguelike doesn't treat the player like other games do. Roguelikes won't guide you helpfully along a path, or let you cinematically snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. They're more likely to dangle you deep between the jaws of defeat and fumble the rope until you go sliding down defeat's hungry gullet. This is their beauty, and it's a part of why we keep coming back for another go. Next time everything will go ri

Vampire Survivors - still vampire-free before you ask - has surprise-launched its brand-new Laborratory update - a "hyper realistic holiday themed" content drop so mindblowingly spectacular, developer Poncle is even going as far as to herald it a "AAAA" release.

Vampire Survivors - still vampire-free before you ask - has surprise-launched its brand-new Laborratory update - a "hyper realistic holiday themed" content drop so mindblowingly spectacular, developer Poncle is even going as far as to herald it a "AAAA" release.
The free Laborratory update (yes, with two 'r's) plunges players deep into the dark halls of a science lab - a "former pinnacle of weapons science, now overtaken by the forces of evil and a corrupted milk magician" - where one new character, one new secret character, three new weapons, and two new stages, including a bonus go-karting stage (because of course), await.
It's an update that - and I'm quoting the developer directly here so don't blame me if your sky-high expectations aren't met - "pushes Vampire Survivors to such wild new heights that Poncle are calling it their first 'AAAA' update". Expect such "industry-defining innovations" as "fully rendered running animations, mind-blowing train physics... and doors that open."
Over the past while a few games have had post-launch patches, the exemplars being Starfield and Stardew valley, which have post-launch patches of different kinds and for different reasons. We take some time on the Electronic Wireless Show podcast to talk about this patch of patches, and what it was like in the good ol' days, where a broken game came out and stayed broken, gosh darn it!
Nate isn't here today, which means I can make fun of him for owning fish, or whatever it is he does, but in hi

Nate isn't here today, which means I can make fun of him for owning fish, or whatever it is he does, but in his stead James steps up with an RGB lighting-themed game where I have to guess what accessories people stuck lights on to turn into gamer accessories. This is because Razer stuck RGB lights on a pandemic mask and are in trouble over it now. Naughty Razer. Plus, we talk about the games we're playing right now, and dish you up some juicy recommendations at the end of the show.
Unveiled last night at the IGN x ID@Xbox Digital Showcase, Vampire Survivors has received a free new update called Laborratory (yes, with two 'r's). It includes one new character, one secret character, three weapons, one stage, and a bonus go-cart racing stage. But perhaps most importantly of all, Poncle say they'll answer the question that's been on everyone's lips: "Why is it called Santa Water?".

But perhaps most importantly of all, Poncle say they'll answer the question that's been on everyone's lips: "Why is it called Santa Water?". This is something that's puzzled me since the game's inception, and therefore, I will be thrusting myself back into the game where there are, in fact, no vampires at all. I need to know.

Vampire Survivors received yet another update this past week. The Space-54 update adds two new characters, four new weapons, a new relic, and a new bonus stage. It also introduces cross-save support between Steam and Android to the Steam public beta branch.
Vampire Survivors might continue to be suspiciously devoid of vampires, but it does now have a bunch of new cosmic sci-fi bits (clearly last year's Among Us collaboration just wasn't space-y enough), courtesy of its latest free update on Steam, Switch, Xbox, and mobile.

Vampire Survivors might continue to be suspiciously devoid of vampires, but it does now have a bunch of new cosmic sci-fi bits (clearly last year's Among Us collaboration just wasn't space-y enough), courtesy of its latest free update on Steam, Switch, Xbox, and mobile.
Space 54, as the update is known, introduces a new bonus stage going by the same name - officially described as a "cosmic border-realm between this plane of existence and a sinister, third dimension" - as well as two new characters to deploy.
One of those characters, Space Dude, is the star of developer Poncle's energetic Space 54 trailer (or Space-54, or Space54 - the studio doesn't seem to have entirely made its mind up), and there're also four new weapons, a new relic, and seven new EXTRA achievements.
Poncle released both a free Vampire Survivors Space54 update for all players, as well as a new teaser trailer inspired by FFVII. The update adds a new stage, as well as characters and weapons.
As usual, the new characters are tied to the new weapons. Bat Robbert comes with Pako Battiliar, a weapon that can counter when health is lost. That character also has a health recovery mechanic whenever health gets below 20%. Space Dude is the other character, which comes with a Phas3r. The Phas3r fir

As usual, the new characters are tied to the new weapons. Bat Robbert comes with Pako Battiliar, a weapon that can counter when health is lost. That character also has a health recovery mechanic whenever health gets below 20%. Space Dude is the other character, which comes with a Phas3r. The Phas3r fires a laser beam through a straight area damaging anything it touches. Meanwhile, Space Dude fires all weapons even if they are on cooldown at set intervals. The new stage is the space-themed Space54, while the relic lets you randomly level up items instead of picking.
There’s a new trailer Poncle shared with us to see the Space54 update in action.
Next here is the Vampire Survivors teaser trailer inspired by the original FFVII one to celebrate the launch of FFVII Rebirth.
To compare, here’s a copy of the original teaser trailer, which Anamana uploaded.
Vampire Survivors is available for the Switch, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices, and its free Space54 update is live now. The last paid DLC was the Among Us crossover add-on Emergency Meeting.
