V Rising is a multiplayer survival game in which we play as a vampire. It was developed by the Stunlock Studios - a Swedish team also responsible for Bloodline Champions and Battlerite.

Plot

V Rising is set in a gothic fantasy world. We play as a vampire awakening from a centuries-long slumber. Having woken up, the protagonist tries to regain their strength and create an empire mighty enough to threaten the humans, monsters and other vampires of the land.

Mechanics

V Rising makes use of the top-down perspective. The game features a vast and open world. It contains dark forests, settlements of various sizes and massive underground cave systems. Since we play as a vampire, we can only freely explore at night; during the day we must hide from sunlight and stay in the shadows.

Throughout the game we hunt people to harvest their blood, plunder villagers, kill bandits, face enemy soldiers, monsters and even other vampires. Combat is dynamic, requiring agility and good reflexes, attacking and dodging at the right times. We can dispatch our foes wielding melee and ranged weapons, as well as combat skills and spells.

As we progress through the game we develop our character, acquire more powerful abilities and gear; equipment can be crafted, found or looted off enemies. We'll also acquire resources used to expand our fortress. The castle serves as our base, where we can store our loot and rally our troops. It must therefore be both aesthetically appealing and practical.

To recruit soldiers we must first turn humans into vampire spawn. Our army will come in handy when raiding other players' strongholds and defending our own. There's also nothing stopping us from allying with other players and facing dangers together.

Game modes

V Rising only supports multiplayer.

Technical aspects

The visuals of V Rising are decent, making use of a dark artstyle.
