It’s almost impossible to find the usual for the “beta” imperfections, errors and “features” postponed for later. Perhaps the only thing here from Early Access is a plate on the project page on Steam. At the same time, having risen a little in the level, you can at any time postpone the completion of quests for later and go on an independent search for adventure. Problems “What to do?” there simply isn’t one here – hint tasks gradually lead along a path where you get everything that is in it from the game. There is a lot of content, but it does not open immediately, and the development of the character and the castle is on the rise, and the gameplay changes not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively. You become strongly attached to a castle built with your own hands. In addition to ordinary enemies, there are many bosses on the map – each with its own tactics and a unique reward for defeating it. A vampire who has just woken up from a centuries-old sleep travels across a huge map, extracts resources, fights mobs, learns new skills, builds a shelter, which eventually becomes a personal castle: a cozy home, a warehouse and a workshop for creating equipment at the same time. Why? Now let’s explain.ĭespite the isometric view, we have before us nothing more than a survivalist, most reminiscent of Rust and Conan Exiles. But now, just two weeks after the release of early access, we can safely say that we have one of the best games of this spring. The developers obviously saved money on the advertising campaign, and the brief description hinted that we were facing another nondescript indie with an eye to the sluggish hype around the vampire theme (are we waiting for Bloodlines 2, no matter what?). But before us is only “early access” from the small Swedish Stunlock Studios, the developer of fairly niche action movies Bloodline Champions and Battlerite.Ī month ago, no one had heard of V Rising.

V Rising, released on Steam in mid-May, suddenly broke into all the tops: the best sales on Steam for the week, a huge number of online players for an unknown novelty (at the peak it reached almost 150 thousand), excellent user ratings and views on Twitch and YouTube. Vampire entourage – not only for the sake of beauty.
