“Vampire Crawlers is an interesting creature of a game. Poncle already knocked it out of the park with Vampire Survivors, creating an entirely new genre the MOMENT the game dropped on steam, leading to hundreds if not thousands of well…”Recommended · Steam review · Jul 2026 · 40 h played · Report / request removal

“Vampire Crawlers is good for a bash, but it doesn't have the "one more run" pull that keeps me coming back to Vampire Survivors, Balatro or Megabonk.

“Exactly the same brainless stupid fun as Vampire Survivors, but with less epileptic graphics, and entirely turn-based. Especially good to play when tired, adjusted, or pretending to pay attention on a long call.”Recommended · Steam review · Jun 2026 · 19 h played · Report / request removal

“Preface: I don't really like card battlers that much, or even the original VS.
