A demo for Vampire Crawlers, the next game from the creators of Vampire Survivors, is out now on Xbox and as part of Steam Next Fest 2026.
Brought to you by the minds behind Vampire Survivors, Vampire Crawlers is a turbo turn‑based, card‑driven BLOBBER (that’s shorthand for first-person dungeon-crawling chaos) with rogue-lite elements. Here’s what poncle had to say about the game:
Vampire Crawlers has something for everyone, from card game newcomers to the most diehard number-go-up gameplay aficionados. It will welcome players back to the dark dungeons of Vampire Survivors, but from a brand-new perspective – and will welcome back some of the powerful (and ridiculous) items from Vampire Survivors as playable cards to build your dungeon-crawling deck.
With the release of the Vampire Crawlers demo, poncle is also setting a unique challenge for its player base. Players are invited not only to just enjoy Vampire Crawlers – they’re also being asked to break it. It doesn’t matter if it’s screen-breaking combos, nonsensical builds, or even just your King Bible doing something weird – they want to see it.
The most broken moments of demo destruction will feature as part of “Lets Break Vampire Crawlers”, a video series spotlighting the Vampire Crawlers community and their… unorthodox approaches to deck building. For those who’d like their chance to be featured, head over to their Vampire Crawlers Community Discord, where you’ll be able to submit your gameplay.
You can download the Vampire Crawlers demo on Steam and Xbox.
