Vampire Survivors is one of the top games of 2022 that even Phil Spencer appreciated, playing more in just a few months than any other title this year. In fact, the game Vampire Survivors was created by one developer – this is Luca Galante, who gave a short interview to IGN the other day and told what he thinks about the popularity of his project.
The author of Vampire Survivors stated that he cannot understand the game’s popularity:
It’s really hard for me to believe that Vampire Survivors deserves this kind of attention. But I will say that I am very pleased with the attention. I hope my example clearly shows that literally anyone can achieve this. I hope that Vampire Survivors will inspire more indie developers to keep working on their projects. And I say this not out of the kindness of my soul, but out of pure selfishness. I really want to see more games like Celeste, Undertale, Powerwash Simulator, Wandersong, and A Short Hike get their fair share of the spotlight.
To be honest, I don’t know why my game is so popular and it scares me. Since the release, I’ve tried not to look at the numbers or reviews on the net so as not to get too wrapped up in it. I did not shine on the network and continued to work on the game.
Recall that the first DLC was recently released for Vampire Survivors. The author of the project, in an interview with IGN, noted that he initially did not want to release add-ons for the game and hopes that the price of the DLC is really fair.
Vampire Survivors is available with a Game Pass subscription.
