Yes, that’s right, step aside Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, and Grand Theft Auto V, there’s another sheriff in town, and its name is… Vampire Survivors. Somewhat amazingly, this 8-bit style roguelite shoot-’em-up has managed to wangle the top most-played game on Steam’s burgeoning new platform last month – but what’s truly incredible is that this is in fact the second month that the game has topped the Steam Deck’s charts, according to its official twitter account.
Obviously, those two tweets above were in regards to October, but check out what the most-played game was from September, as well:
Pretty mind-blowing, right? If you’re unaware of what Vampire Survivors is, it’s a fiendishly addictive action game that pits your choice of character (there are 40 unique characters in the game, with 15 being unlockable secrets) against waves upon waves of monsters for you to mow down. Interestingly, your character automatically shoots, though you have to control the direction of the gunfire, while trying to avoid the critters.
Sounds simple, huh? Well, the leveling system is apparently incredibly addictive and adds a huge layer to the moment-to-moment gameplay. In short, it’s a deceptively simple-looking game with a huge amount of depth. While the game is currently only on PC, it’s worth noting that Vampire Survivors is officially on its way to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S on Nov. 10, 2022, and will even debut on Game Pass. In other words, there’s no reason for you not to check it out, especially when there’s such a positive buzz surrounding the popular indie game.
