Vampire Survivors, the 2022 roguelike bullet hell surprise smash hit, is getting a brand new game mode after developer Poncle "discovered a hot new gaming trend called 'having a story.'"
Personally, I think Poncle is being a little too hard on itself here. There's already a story in Vampire Survivors! The evil Bisconte Draculó summoned a massive horde of monsters because, again, he's an evil jerk, and it's your job to survive and stop him. It didn't quite make our list of the best video game stories ever, but it's a serviceable enough narrative framework for mindlessly blasting through waves of pixels.
