V Rising

« If you're into the survival crafting genre, action RPGs, or vampires in general, V Rising is an absolute blast, alone or with others. »

« V Rising may not have the deepest survival game mechanics around, but that is hardly a problem. The game crafted by Stunlock Studios masterfully weaves mechanics from very different genres to provide an experience like any other on the market. While solo players may find the experience becoming a little stale over time, everyone else will find plenty of reasons to remain in this world, whether it's to perfect their characters or build the most haunting vampire castle ever seen. »

« V Rising has been nicely polished up during its dark slumber in Early Access, allowing it to fully rise to the occasion with its excellent boss design and challenging ARPG combat. Keeping the killing rays of the sun and your dwindling blood supply as ongoing concerns is effective and evocative in selling the vampire fantasy, as is the ability to craft the sprawling, spooky estates of my nightmares. And the huge amount of customization available when setting up your own private server practically eliminates the need to do chores that are timed to real-world days in a way that only really makes sense for playing with a larger clan and having those timers going even when you're not online. Arise, ye children of the night, and sink your teeth into one of the best ARPGs – and one of the best vampire games, in general – of this moonlit age. »

« V Rising redefines the survival genre with its enthralling vampiric twist and rich, gothic landscapes, proving that being a vampire has never been more captivating. »

« For reasons of time (the game is quite large) I dedicated myself almost exclusively to solo play, and from this point of view V Rising is certainly a very successful title, which alternates fights that are always on point with that sense of progression that never fails to provide a powerful stimulus. Every now and then you'll have to take a trip into the mine, though. »

« Stunlock Studios has created a smash hit in V Rising. Not only is it a solid survival game, but it introduces creative mechanics to the genre that often depends on tried and true practices. The narrative is primed with areas the dev team can expand into, which I’m really looking forward to. »

« I genuinely believe that V Rising has a complete product for almost any type of player. The only reason you shouldn't give it a chance is if you absolutely don't like survival games. The only thing I would like it to have a bit more of is variety in the boss movements (especially in the first half of the game) and more variety in the music, but at least one of those complaints is addressed by the Brutal mode in this version 1.0. »

« One of the best adventure survival ARPGs out there and one of the best vampire games ever: do you need anything else? »

« The combat is just atrocious. The difficulty of this game does not come from hard to learn move sets or aggressive bosses, but from slow cooldowns, terrible movement and environmental damage spam. Just an overall frustrating experience and terrible game. Just finished the final boss and I will never touch this game again. »

« Sluggish gameplay, monotonous loop, irresponsive controls. Overall boring... »

« um its just really fun to build is all im gonna say since i need to enter atleast 75 characters »

« Buen ARPG de supervivencia, cuenta con sistema de loot, perks, crafteo, construcción, PVP y PVE. En general es un juego bueno al que se le pueden dedicar muchas horas. »

« Great survival game. Fun and simple combat system, extremely challenging bosses, and an open map with the best PVP I've ever played. A true cooperative survival game. The only thing that could be improved are the minions, who serve no purpose other than patrolling the base and collecting resources. It would be interesting if they also crafted or refined items, or went exploring the map together. »

« This is one of those games that are really fun but with lots of problems, both obvious and more subtle. The progression is really fun at first but, as with most grind games, it falls off the further you get. The biggest factor of how strong you are is, either the game's decision to lock improvements behind far off bosses, or behind rng of blood quality, drop rate and trait rolls. This makes the progression both linear and tedious at times. There is also the issue of additions that were never expanded upon. The game is smaller than what you are lead to believe when you first start. There seems to be many different forms to polymorph into, but only 2 are regularly used, one is situational, two are used once and the others are entirely pointless. There are so many things that could and should have been expanded on as well, but it seems the devs grew tired of the game, or were scared to change things after their success. That said, the game has loads of hours of fun, even though they will be scattered between grind periods. It's relatively cheap, it's creative and made with a lot of passion. It's good. At times great, at times not. »

« Plays like a survival ARPG and is quite good. A big highlight was the boss fights. They are all unique, play quite differently, and are just fun to do. Lots of different enemies and multiple areas. Different weapon types played differently and added variance. Some decent music and good graphics with good performance as well. Pretty regular progression and only the final boss fight required a bit of grinding to max out our gear. The building is decent and it also boasts the easiest base migration feature ever and doesn't require hauling stuff over and over. I played through this in PvE with 2 friends and had practically zero network issues. I can't speak for how the game plays solo or on a PvP server (and I don't think I'd actually enjoy or even play it in PvP), but we had fun and the game and were able to comfortably sink 50 hours into this. »

« I find the game is alright, quite addictive trying to improve get stonger and build a epic castle. I spent a lot of time just building.Movement is terrible, so slow to get around. You don't get a horse until the second act. You can only see a horses stats when you mount it and it then becomes your horse from yellow text of it listed as horse to blue text when it's yours. I kept mounting every horse I came across until I found one with high stats and then chose to name my horse. Every horse you've mounted is considered owned by you.Only problem is it shows every owned horse as a horse symbol on the map, which makes it very hard to find the one you wanted to keep if you get dismounted and try to escape an enemy you aren't ready to face yet. I could not find my horse again, I think it may have been killed. So I spent a long time taking all the horses I didn't want to the iron cave to have them killed by the rock elementals so that I can only keep one good one and get rid of the rest. To make my horse easier to find. I wish there was a option to unown horses you don't want as even without food the timer for them living is 16 hours. And much more for previous horses I gave full stacks of food to and once you give them food you aren't able to remove it. And you aren't able to kill your own horses.There is not much to **** has tutorial like quests of what to do so you can unlock powers and items to progress.Just gather materials to improve gear and build castle so can fight a boss to improve gear and eventually fight the next boss. That's all the gameplay loop is, it's ok if you like it but does get boring. There's not a lot of variety in what you can ****'s quite fun if somewhat linear and boring. By Act 2 it's not as fun or enjoyable **** gameplay loop is **** world feels kind of empty and alone and not alive if you just play solo PVE as there is no story or any NPC's you can help or befriend. There aren't any missions or much else to do there is no depth to this game. It's a fairly average game. Pretty much everything you come across wants to kill you.There are no friendly **** don't see any friendly vampire NPCs, just humans who view you as a enemy, enemy draculin vampires or the neutral merchants you can buy from, undead enemies and just other **** can enthrall humans and some draculin to be servants, but they stay at your castle and can't follow you around or into battle. You use those to send to hunt areas to gather materials or to defend your castle if you do ****'s probably more fun with others or for those who like ****'s fun for a while but basic fun. I can't recommend a game that is too boring to keep playing.I'd rate it 6/10. »
