A combination of a roguelite dungeon crawler, a first-person shooter, and a turn-based card game. Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors was developed by Poncle Studios. As the title suggests, the game takes place in the fantasy universe of the bestselling Vampire Survivors.
After releasing their hit game, Vampire Survivors, the poncle studio began working not only on expanding their creation but also on side projects set in its universe. The first of these is Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors - a hybrid of a roguelite dungeon crawler and a card game.
In Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors, the action is viewed from a first-person perspective (FPP). The adventure takes us through dungeons known from Vampire Survivors, which we explore as the heroes of this production. Although chaos sometimes reigns on the screen here as well, the gameplay is based on a completely different foundation.
During the game, we engage in turn-based battles with opponents, playing cards according to increasing mana costs and activating combos. Since each subsequent play enhances the effect of the next card, we must compose a deck and develop a strategy to maximize its potential. Additionally, there are the titular Wildcards, which allow us to extend attack sequences.
As we progress, we gain experience and level up, as well as expand our deck. We also discover gems and enhancements hidden inside chests found along the way. Besides this, we can upgrade our weapons and summon survivors, gaining access to an increasingly wide range of effects.
The dungeons we visit have a multi-level structure, and the game allows us to dig through to subsequent floors. Between expeditions, we arrive at a village where we can prepare for further adventures.
The graphics of Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors are kept in a fully pixelated retro style.
