V Rising could be the next big survival game. Whether you want to play alone, with, or against other players, this has you covered. Once you get the hang of the combat you’ll begin to feel more and more powerful, crafting a towering castle that will terrify any delivery driver to their very core. I’m confident this will do well, and Early Access will continue to add new touches, tweaks and content between now and the eventual full release. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own castle, only descending into the neighboring villages to rip people open and finish them in one swallow like a Froob, V Rising may be the game you’ve been waiting for.
V Rising found that perfect balance of building, combat, some lore and exploration—I would highly recommend it for RPG fans and vampire fans alike.
V Rising is a content-rich ARPG that is endlessly enjoyable, whether you play it as a survival game with team strategy or purely as a single-player game.

GameSpace | Brau3er | 9 / 10 | 06-06-2022 | V Rising is a decent multiplayer survival sim. The game definitely deserves your attention. For a small price, you can get a large amount of content that will take dozens of hours to complete and this is only just the beginning. | Read review |

IGN | Leana Hafer | 7 / 10 | 05-24-2022 | While its time-consuming crafting aspects can take the bite out of the vampire fantasy, V Rising really does rise to the occasion with its excellent boss design and respectable ARPG combat. | Read review |
Polygon | Kazuma Hashimoto | Recommended | 06-09-2022 | On the surface, V Rising appears to be just another survival game, slathered with a different coat of paint. In many ways, it’s hard to argue otherwise. However, it manages to layer complex systems inspired by the popular mythology of the vampire to distinguish it from the sea of survival games. While V Rising hasn’t completely satiated my thirst in its current form, I’m hopeful that it will somewhere down the line. | Read review |
Rock, Paper, Shotgun | Ed Thorn | Recommended | 06-09-2022 | A streamlined survival game that iterates rather than innovates, but still stakes its claim as a good time solo and a great time with friends in tow. | Read review |
