July 2025

Played this in early access a few years ago and had a great time, but there were a few issues. Playing through it again I noticed that many problems I had were fixed and several quality of life features were added to make it even more enjoyable (Base moving, better menus, and more balanced weapons). I just beat the game on Brutal difficulty, getting all achievements in the process, and can now say for certain that V Rising was worth my time and money. If you like RPG's, souls-likes, survival games, and vampires (or even just one of those) you will have a lot of fun. Note: I'm a solo PVE player, so I can't speak on COOP or PvP.

V Rising is an amazing open world survival game. You gather resources, kill enemies and build an elaborate castle, which you can also decorate. The map is large with several different areas you'll be going to throughout the game. There is a large array of weapons/spells and skills to let you have some variety if how you play. The game has a lot of bosses, each with their own mechanics. Playing on Brutal difficulty gives them even more mechanics. These bosses are fun to fight and some can be pretty challenging and feel very satisfying to beat. They don't feel impossible to beat and it's more about learning the mechanics and adjusting your strategies to beat them. You need to drink blood and there is an in-depth blood mechanic with different blood types and percentages that give you bonuses depending on the type and percentage. Later in the game you are able to combine blood types. You are also able to capture enemies to collect their blood or make them your servants and send them out on missions to farm resources and components for you to build/craft which will make farming resources a lot easier. You can play online on PvE or PVP servers or you can play solo or co-op on your own server. You can adjust a whole range of settings to customize the game how you want. If you don't enjoy grinding you can set resource gathering to 3x for example. The gameplay loop is enjoyable. You kill bosses to unlock new armor/crafting stations/spells etc which then make you stronger and ready to take on the next boss. There is a lot to V Rising and it is a fantastic game. I highly recommend checking it out.

Vrising is a one-of-a-kind top-down survival, Melee, and magic RPG featuring PVP and PVE, with WASD movement and a spell-targeting system that makes it both fun and rewarding. If you're interested in the PVE aspect of the game it has an extensive progression that relies on killing bosses and unlocking new blueprints to make you stronger, soft interesting lore, nice visuals, and one of the best building systems that will bring the designer in you, you can decorate and design the castles in crazy details, check some of the builds on YouTube see what some people came up with. It has one map but it's carefully crafted, progression takes you from one zone to another while each zone is distinct and well-defined, has its mood, and is set up with a nice attention to detail and nice mob variety. Now if you're interested in the PVP in short don't, spare yourself. Whereas the PVP is one of the most fun PVPs you might have it's unfortunately poorly balanced. PVP servers usually last 2 weeks before dying and you have to repeat the progression to enjoy another 2 weeks, Meta builds tend to be spammed in the open world and render the game very stale and boring, raiding mechanics haven't been optimized since forever, and feels like they gave up on them among other things. This game isn't a live service game it's an indie game and the devs said that they don't have plans or intention for players to keep playing this game forever, so it ends, your "endgame" will either be PVP or decorating and because it's not constantly balanced for PVP or quite frankly, they don't know how to, that's why all these issues exist, side note Vrising is from the same devs of battlerite, you can see how that one ended up. With all that being said Vrising till the time of this review remains maybe the only Melee and magic open-world PVP game outside of MMORPGs and it's still more unique since it has a targeting system that makes it skill-reliant All in all it's a great game and it goes on cheap, also all the DLCs are cosmetics, you just need the base game and you have access to all the contents.

One of the best Vampire games out there. The game is a really good value for the amount of content that it has. It also has amazing gameplay. They capture the lore of vampires in an awesome way. There's everything from the first vampire lore to Castlevania. Also if you pay attention the world is alive. monsters fight humans bosses roam the map it is really epic once you start interacting with it. The environments change there are Easter eggs all over the map each area of the rather large map. The base building is really well implemented and even has a feature where you can move your base and everything in it to a new area with an easy move feature. The gameplay is mostly building up a castle and exploring the land. There are lots of bosses around the map to fight and lots of endgame content with more to come. This is also a game that is both fun to play alone or with some friends. It is also important to note that the game is huge already and is about to get even bigger with the patch coming out with 1.1. The already great game is about to be bigger. . . and for free. Awesome devs. In a ratings system out of ten this game gets a 9.5+. I highly suggest this game. I have almost 60 hours in and I'm about to put in over 60 hours more. The nice thing is once you beat the game on regular mode there's a hardcore mode. There's also and easy mode. . but I'm not too into easy. None the less there's a mode for everyone. IF you want to be in a friendly server there's PVE and if you want more of a challenge and want to fight other players there is PVE servers. IF none of that is quite right you can host your own server on your own computer . . it doesn't take up much resources. . and play the way you want by customising everything in the server to your liking. An added bonus the community is pretty good and helpful overall.

April 2025

Its a great game, Its great with friends on private server, just building the castle and doing all the bosses, ended up soloing the last bosses on brutal difficulty for a nice challenge. So many ways to play. Though a very big con. Why do the servers need to be reset for the new content, if valheim can add it, im sure a game without random generation should have an easier time...
