Gennaro is my favourite character and if I had to unlock him again, I would do it. :colbert:

We could really do without having to stare at fireworks for 15 seconds each and every time we open a chest. This isn't a mobile gatcha game.

It's Magic Survival doing a castlevania cosplay tho

Unfortunately there's no skipping with the slowdown glitch, once you attempt to open a chest that run is done.

I was streaming a little bit of Vampire Survivors on Twitch earlier and right at the end I realised that some of the artwork in the game is traced.



I thought some of the sprites in the game looked a little bit suspect (the vampire siblings look almost exactly like Alucard sprite in Symphony of the Night), but this is extremely blatant. :sigh:

That looks homaged for sure, but it doesn't look traced. The proportions are more realistic on the VS picture.

Some of the sprites like giant green zombie/whatever and Count Orlox in the library are just straight up ripped from SoTN.

The NFT

In commemoration of the 35th (day) anniversary of the Vampire Survivors release on Steam,
we decided to jump on the hottest trends in gaming and release our own NFT.

From game patch 0.2.9, the Nduja Fritta Tanto can randomly drop from candles/braziers to add 10 spicy seconds to your runs. Terrible pun, great item.

Excellent, mock lovely scams all the time

Unlike real-life NFTs, this one actually delivers. Trash mobs vanish instantly and bosses die in 5 seconds.

Game keeps locking up on me now after the latest update. Especially sucks when you are 20 mins into a run. Think I'm going to put it down for a bit.

What do they evolve with? It's fairly important if it's the same item for each of them, as you can have both Peachone and Ebony Wings at the same time (and it's hilarious).

They can evolve when you have both of them at the max level. They turn into a more powerful bird that shoots rainbows, you can then level that one up again. Also means at that point you can get another weapon since a slot frees up

Good game!
Im in favor of this kind of weapon evolution. I really want some more difficulty options though. The game's pretty much solved now, doesnt change that its still a chill 30 minutes for a podcast kind of game.

Trip report on Soul Eater (the evolved Garlic): it did just over 1k damage, which is 10 times as much as regular Garlic but half as much as Hellfire or Vesper and barely more than level 8 Lightning Ring. If you're damaged it will steal HP on kill, but that doesn't appear to be very effective. It thus falls off hard in the last few minutes of Library, although it's amazing on trash waves where you just munch everything in perpetuity.

Agree, a hyper++ mode would be cool. On the other hand, playing without any passive boosts (or even minimal) is still pretty difficult, especially the garden.

Soul Eater does seem pretty weak. I think it either needs a damage boost, a boost to its HP regen, or an even larger base range. As it stands it gets outclassed by the evolved bible pretty heavily.

It doesn’t scale with anything. Bible gets buffed by projectiles, area, duration, cooldown, and damage, and bible‘s passive buffs runetracer, bones, water, birds, and bible itself (maybe some others too).
Garlic gets buffed by damage and area, and the passive buffs playing badly. Woo.

I will say that evolved bible/birds/garlic together is pretty funny

Worse; Vespers gets buffed by its evolution item, but Soul Eater is actually made weaker by its evolution item because if you do need healing Pummarola is already providing some of it. In fact, Pummarola heals for way more than Soul Eater does.

Does Garlic not scale with cooldown reduction? I thought it did, since it doesn't provide a constant stream of damage but instead ticks every so often.

“Ignores amount duration speed” okay so cooldown does affect it

Soul Eater supposedly deals more damage while you are recovering hit points, but it didn't really feel that way to me. Which is a pity, because providing an incentive to take some actual damage would add a little tactical depth.

Why is the dedicated health regen evolution item worse at healing than Bloody Tear? :negative:

I assumed that we joined our character after they survive the vampire, just as they realize that the vampire was only the prequalification stage and there are plenty more monsters to come.
