Play OverviewPlay Overview

V Rising (2022) is an survival adventure game about vampires. You wake as a weak vampire and must hunt for blood whilst evading the sun to slowly rebuild your castle. This is played out in a living open world full of mystery. Gain allies online and conquer the land of the living.

Play involves exploring the large world that's full of mythical horrors and dangers. From an overhead perspective you guide your vampire through lush forests, open countryside, and dark caverns to pillage villages, raid bandits, and delve into the domains of supernatural beasts. Combat encounters aren't controlled by clicking but instead by controlling your characters with keys.

All the time you need to be careful to stay in the shadows to avoid damage from the burning sunlight. You are safer at night but still have to work to quench your thirst for blood. It's a well known aspect of vampires, of course, but here it's put to good use so you must plan your strategies around the day and nighttime.

As you gather resources and techniques you build a castle to store loot and grow your army. This becomes your home domain that you can customise as you want. Over time you steadily strengthen your castle to protect your treasure hoard from vampire rivals.

You can play offline. But it's more fun to go online with friends, fighting with them to take on other teams and possibly even get into and steal from their castles. Either way you acquire and develop weapons and unholy abilities. This lets you slowly tailor your vampire to fit your play style by combining weapons and spells.

Content Rating

This game has not yet been rated, but we anticipate it is likely to be rated PEGI 16.
 
Users Interact: The game enables players to interact and communicate with each other, so may expose players to language usually associated with older rated games.

The game includes horror themes with supernatural beasts. You lure innocent victims back to your castle to drink their blood and turn them into undead warriors. There is also violence with splashes and splatters of blood when you hit enemies. When players are out of energy then kneel down in a pool of blood waiting to be revived. When enemies die they collapse on the floor and stay in the game.
