That doesn’t change the fact that if you own Vampire Survivors, Ode to Castlevania is utterly essential. It’s easily the best DLC for the game, which acts as an incredible tribute to one of our favourite franchises while retaining and expanding on Vampire Survivors' endlessly addictive loop. The pile of secrets waiting for you is anything but miserable, and we guarantee you'll be gobsmacked.

Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania is a masterpiece of roguelike gaming. Impossible to put down, stellar soundtrack and visual design, as well as just being a load of fun. While some games have taken this formula and recontextualised it, the original does it best. Hop in and play as a vampire-killing badass. Highly recommended for Castlevania fans and anyone looking for a fun time. Perfect winter season gaming!

Vampire Survivors's Ode to Castlevania DLC is an incredible labour of love for the very games that inspired it. It includes heaps of content, fan service, and just pure effort into such an amazing piece of extra content.

Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania doesn't really do anything new with the game. It essentially takes what we know and love about Vampire Survivors and puts a fresh coat of bloody, teary paint on it. But you know what? There's nothing wrong with that. It's a great game and a total time suck (yes that's another vampire reference). Vampire Survivors is one of the best "bang for your buck" games out there this generation, and the Ode to Castlevania DLC only makes it more of a value. Now, go out and buy this right now - and have fun storming the castle!

Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania finally gives us probably the most wished-for collab possible for this game, and in doing so adds an insane amount of new content and an interesting new dynamic to its structure.

Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania is certainly the definitive DLC for this iconic roguelite. Packed with content based on Konami's franchise, the expansion brings a large number of new characters, with many new skills and items. In addition, we have a new stage full of interesting challenges and, above all, incredible surprises. It takes a little dedication to find these treasures — especially for new players —, but it is well worth it.

To everyone's surprise, Vampire Survivors achieved the impossible by exceeding the expectations of longtime fans and creating a giant universe in the style of Castlevania, from hundreds of references to iconic characters. If you enjoy this franchise, you will love this "DLC".

Vampire Survivors' new DLC, Ode to Castlevania, continues the trend of evolving ideas from the base game, with a huge map to explore, new characters and some of the best boss battles to date. If you're a fan of Konami's saga, it's a must-have DLC.

Any excuse to return to Vampire Survivors is usually welcome, but this treasure trove of Castlevania content is the best yet
