Steam forum sections
Please use the appropriate forum sections for Bugs and Technical Issues, and for Feedback and Suggestions.
We don't usually reply in Feedback and Suggestion because debating ideas is up to you, but we read literally everything.

Achievements and game progression
All the content not available at the start is locked behind achievements. Check the achievements list on the main menu to see what's the next goal.

Time limit
Current stages end when surviving for 30 minutes. A minor prize is awarded for surviving that long, but it is not possible to defeat the boss.

Buying Power-ups and Characters
You can buy permanent Power-ups from the main menu. The more you buy, the more the prices will rise, but you can reset your purchases without losing anything, so feel free to experiment. Reset often and try new upgrade paths to find which one works better for you.
Characters are not refundable instead.

What Luck is for
- enables the chance to get a 4th option when leveling up
- lowers the chance of negative events (bat swarms, flower walls...)
- improves the chance of getting good items when destroying braziers
- improves the chance of getting a Treasure Chest that is different than usual
- raises chances of dealing critical damage (for weapon with critical capabilities)
- "Luck affects many things"

How to evolve weapons
Level up a weapon until it's maxed out and satisfy its requirements for evolution, that are different for each weapon. Once all requirements are satisfied, there will be a chance to find the evolved version of the weapon in Treasure Chests. For example:
Magic Wand LV8 + Empty Tome + Treasure Chest = Holy Wand

Picking up items
Items on the ground will not disappear. If there are too many gems on the ground, they simply start merging together, forming red gems.

How to fully reset saves
There are Save files hosted on the Discord server[discord.com] that let you easily start from zero or quick-start the game with content from February/March.

How much does the couch co-op update cost?
Nothing. The co-op update will be completely free

When does the couch co-op update launch?
17th August!

How does the couch co-op update change the gameplay?
While we can’t go into too many details here, we can already say that the gameplay stays largely the same (more chaos aside), though adding more players changes a few gameplay systems of course. For example, you will share the “level up” bar with the experience points with your friends and level up in turns, all players will always be visible on the same screen (so no splitscreen) and there will also be a few ways to sabotage each other: just, you know, pick Gatti Amari.

Which platforms will the couch co-op update be available for?
All platforms Vampire Survivors is available for, so: PC, Mac, Steam Deck, Xbox, iOS, Android and Nintendo Switch (when it launches). On every platform you will need one controller input device (controller, keyboard etc.) per player to play.

Can multiple people play on one keyboard on PC?
Unfortunately we hit some technical limitations, so for now you will need one controller input device (keyboard, controller etc.) per player.

With how many people can I play Vampire Survivors once the couch co-op update hits?
Up to 4 players in total in local couch co-op. Be the bullet hell with your besties! Or on your own by using 4 controllers at once! (jk please don't do that to yourself 🙏)

Can I also play co-op online?
Not officially! When the co-op update lands, it will allow local couch co-op for up to 4 players but does not support online play.
That being said, there are online gaming solutions like Steam Remote Play Together that work with every game, so you will be able to play online with those workarounds of course.

Is there only a couch co-op mode or can I also play against my friends?
There's no versus mode, but we're sure some of you will find a way or two to test how good your friendships are in the co-op.

Will there be specific couch co-op multiplayer levels?
Nope! We designed the co-op mode in a way that you can play through all of Vampire Survivors with friends, but there won’t be co-op specific levels.

Will there be couch co-op focused achievements?
Also nope! We don’t want anyone to feel like they HAVE to play co-op to unlock and see everything in the game. You will be able to play the whole of Vampire Survivors with friends, foes or your favourite creatures of the night but it’s fully optional.

Can I also play the DLCs in couch co-op?
Of course! As long as you own a DLC you will be able to play it in local co-op.

Do I need to start from the beginning to play the couch co-op?
You can seamlessly switch between co-op and single player before every run. No need to start a new game, and all the unlocks you get during a co-op play session will carry over to your singleplayer save.

Can I select the same character as my friends? We all want to play as Poe!
Multiple Poes would tip the balance of the universe, so for now every character can only be selected by one player per run.

Will there be future single-player updates for the game?
Yes! We will continue to support the game with free updates and paid DLCs, but moving forward you will be able to play everything solo (as usual) or in co-op if you prefer.
