Steam offers a limited-time free download of V Rising, an action RPG and survival game where you play as a vampire. The offer allows you to play for free until May 18 at 6:00 PM local time. Take advantage to explore its open world, build castles, and hunt prey without spending a euro.
The graphics engine and open world physics 🎮
V Rising uses the Unity engine with dynamic lighting and a day-night cycle that affects gameplay. Vampires suffer sun damage, forcing you to seek shelter or use shadow abilities. The building system allows you to construct castles with basic collision physics, while real-time combat uses precise hitboxes and particles for blood effects. Optimization allows for 60 fps on mid-range hardware.
Being a vampire is easy, the hard part is not burning ☀️
If you thought being a dark lord was glamorous, V Rising reminds you that a ray of sun turns you into ash. Forget about strolling around peacefully: you'll have to plan routes like a GPS afraid of the sun king. At least the game lets you build a gothic castle; we'll see later if the human neighbors don't burn down your door.
