From Early Access to the 1.0 release: V Rising is now a promising survival game with vampire elements. If you're more interested in building than in blood, you'll know which game to capture in your cart.
V Rising felt like an enjoyable survival crafting experience on controller once I got into the groove of it. Its fascinating blend of Diablo style action-RPG elements with deep progression, crafting, and building all work in tandem. While the world often feels empty at times due to the lack of NPCs to talk to, whether playing alone or with others, and there is no meaningful story of note, its gameplay hooks and vampire theme make this worth a look in its long-awaited 1.0 release.
V Rising is quite a fun package with great progression, but is held back by how extremely grindy it can be. The combat feels good (albeit can be stale with limited movesets) with the selection of skills and spells you unlock with each boss defeat, the world feels great to explore even while keeping to the shade during the day, and the building feels right at home with some modern city-builders. I think it’s definitely worth giving it a shot, especially with friends, because the solo experience can be quite boring after a while unless you’re really into a solo survival experience. Definitely keep your eyes on this title, and maybe wait for a sale to really sink your teeth into if you’re hesitant.
V Rising offers something distinct, and pretty cookie cutter at the same time. It’s a survival game, but with a novel genre blend meant to attract a different kind of audience. There’s a lot of these, but V Rising brings the action-RPG and gothic styles to the table in a way that feels unique. So that’s fun, but the survival and crafting part is about as boilerplate as it gets. Therefore, if you’re the type of person that shrivels up and shrieks at survival game systems like a vampire considering the concept of brunch, V Rising won’t change your mind. But if you can hang with the concept and also enjoy some Diablo-like combat, having those two things together in one game is pretty rad.
Fun but MUCH funner with friends. The game plays like Diablo mixed with Vampire the Masquerade!

Great game! The review bombing is absolutely undeserved! People should chill out and enjoy a good game for once.

In one word AWFUL where to start. The game is soulless without any story, characters or a real lore. You're just getting resources to unlock the next tier of resources to unlock the next tier of resources, just for your items to decay. Graphics are dated with cartoony animations and the actual ARPG gameplay loop is just not fun enough to justify all the hassle. Overall this is just a very repetitive game made for coop junkies and it's not fun or deep.
