Vampire Survivors IS The NEW KING Of ADDICTIVE Games On Switch! | Review!

[@ragmanx6256]

This game demonstrates you don't need overproduced graphics or needlessly complicated systems to deliver an excellent game.

[@thenonexistinghero]

There are lots of games that prove that though. And this game still makes 3080 Ti's cry.

[@doloresdebeauvoir4960]

@@thenonexistinghero it’s just that the pc version is running on unoptimized tech. I wouldn’t blame the devs though and the switch version is optimized pretty well

[@thenonexistinghero]

@@doloresdebeauvoir4960Well, the game does not run perfectly smoothly on the Switch in the latter half of the stages when it starts to get busy (especially the last 1/3rd), but the slowdown has been fairly minor so far. Still, I do think once you start farming money and eggs, the Switch version may struggle to keep up, if not outright crash after a few minutes. Can't confirm since I'm not that far yet, but I can't imagine the system being able to handle it when you start to push characters beyond the system's limit. But yeah, all platforms other than the PC are probably a lot better optimized. I read for PC the game also only uses 1 CPU core. I do hope to see the PC version get a significant performance boost. I stopped playing it shortly after getting 100%. Farming for the final things already took a decent amount out of my PC. Once I started to really rake in the money for eggs it had trouble keeping up. But at that point I could already do pretty much everything I wanted to do in the game with ease and I already had all achievements, so I decided to quit after 65-70 hours (until they announced a Switch version which I will also play to 100%).

[@TheMcZioms]

​@@doloresdebeauvoir4960 Its definetly playable but i can't even imagine Farming gold or playing 4 players coop, 2 players coop already had some noticable stutters

[@ronaldbos9345]

@@thenonexistinghero Seems like they have managed to optimize it for PC, considering my budget video card, a GT1030, runs it perfectly now.

[@WickedRibbon]

Absolutely hammered Vampire Survivors on PC. Top game. Quick tip for those playing for the first time: Despite the name, your focus shouldn't be on simply "surviving". Instead, you need to be aggressive in the early game, racking up kills and levelling as quickly as possible. This'll keep you ahead of the enemy power curve, which always escalates at over time. It's a game of keeping your power level above the enemy power level, so constantly running away will mean you inevitably fall behind and get swarmed to death.

[@SwitchUpYt]

That's actually really a good tip - we found this. Mark

[@ryanbauer3680]

Another pro tip, purchase Gennaro Belpaese as soon as you can, which can be right from the start if you're willing to spend the gold on him. He starts with the knife which is thrown in whatever directional you're moving and when fully upgraded with the Bracer practically becomes constantly firing machine gun. And to add to that, his character bonus gives an extra projectile to whatever weapon he's using, and it stacks with the Duplicator which does the same thing.

[@CBreezie]

​@@ryanbauer3680theres also an arcana that adds projectiles to a list of weapons, the knife included. Then there's limit break mode, where +1 projectile can be a possible level up.

[@InfiniteGameReviews]

​@@ryanbauer3680: Those different strategies is what will most likely be my doom...haha, guess I must play it now.

[@kds5065]

I didn't know much about this game until about 2 weeks ago. And now it's highly anticipated for me. Should be a nice game for me to play while I'm "relaxing" with drinks or some... snacks.

[@Its_PizzaTime]

This game rules and there's so much more to it than it seems

[@adamjohnston2145]

Downloading it now! I have a video suggestion for you guys. I can’t speak for everyone, but I often find myself playing my switch for short periods of time while I’m either watching a sporting event, or being with my kids. A top 10 list of games you can play while multitasking or something like that would be neat. Some of my top games would include Loop Hero (best game to play while watching sports) Animal Crossing, Pokémon, things of that nature. Just thought I’d throw that out there. Have a great night!

[@ToddSupplies]

Absolutely love Vampire Survivors on my steam deck and now need to get it on switch as well lol. Really would love a physical of this as the box art could be retro themed awesomeness.

[@NINisTR1]

Check out Halls Of Torment :)

[@SwitchUpYt]

Ohhhhh here it gooooes! Mark

[@incognito4354]

Is this similar gameplay as Army of ruin? Also is this better than brotato? I can’t play cooperative with friends. Curious because I can only purchase this or brotato.

[@Readingisfun45]

Hey Mark picked up brotato the other day , such a great game , I think I will like this one too.

[@pepperenis95]

This looks like a good time with friends. Kick back and enjoy the games like the good Ole days

[@SwitchUpYt]

Exactly right, really fun solo as well but it levels up in co-op. Mark

[@InfiniteGameReviews]

​@@SwitchUpYt: Good single player is what definitely sells it for me. And alternative builds. I'm a huge sucker for that.

[@dynastymusou8906]

This game... I have been playing every day after work ever since it arrived on Game Pass. Already got 60+ Achievements. You just keep playing. One more run, you tell yourself. And then another one, and another. My favorite power us the garlic. Especially combined with fully Evolved lightning it is a beautiful sight to see the enemies go. Can't wait to go home and unlock even more stuff and characters!

[@CharlieHM]

Dying to play this one with my family, seems like on they can enjoy without too much complexity to get in the way

[@SwitchUpYt]

Its the perfect family game believe it or not haha - Mark

[@optimust]

You left in the entire treasure chest jingle! 🤣 And I'm here for it 👍

[@NoiFuori]

I tried this game on my smartphone and I loved it, but I stopped playing because I knew that it would be perfect on the Switch with some physical buttons. I already preordered it, such a great game at that price is a steal!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Ah good stuff - hope you love it mate! Mark

[@InfiniteGameReviews]

Thanks for the tip, didn't know it was available for phones! Now I can try it right away!

[@ziggystardust156]

Had this pre ordered for couple weeks now, can’t wait to play it today! Great video once again lads. ❤

[@damienkrawczuk1435]

This is the most fun I've had in a game for so long, it's a riot fun I like the part when you unlock the music player: The greatest soundtrack ever, with classics such as Hide and Kazoo and Kazoo of the Foscari, it's so whimsyly awesome, so many other games I've got and I can't stop playing this, the couch co-op is insane addictive my best friend absolutely loves this too, I heard they'll be more content like 'Adventure mode' I don't know what that could be, but I'm heaps excited for future of this game, this games gnarly as, I was only supposed to have an hour's play yesterday and got stuck for the day playing it, none of my house work or washing got done 😅 can't let that happen today tho, whomever came up with this concept is an absolute genius, game rocks hardcore! Big thumbs up from me 👍

[@LostHorizons0]

I like vampire survivors a lot I have it on my steam deck / pc and mobile and pre ordered for switch. But I still prefer brotato and the the best is Halls of torment but something tells Me that won’t ever land on switch

[@JustJoeThings]

Spell slinging Buffy the Vampire, Blade Bashing, Underworld undulating, Vengence Van Helsing, Always slaying Alcuard. Count me in!! C

[@neilmcdermid8799]

I'm excited to finally play this on Switch. Thanks for covering Vampire Survivors, SwitchUp!

[@jorie100]

Developers on twitter saying "Baldurs Gate 3 raise the standards too high!!!" while this game came up just months before with more bullet heavens like Halls of Torment that is also a banger. It just shows you how disconnected they are from the players, like we are not asking for every game to have at least 700 cinematics in it and 2 million lines of dialogue, THE GAME JUST NEEDS TO BE FUN AND THAT'S IT! THAT'S OUR STANDARD.

[@MultiRoyds]

Army of Ruin is a good shout for this genre too!

[@midgenya9479]

STOOOP WITH THE ADICTIVE GAMES😭😭😭😭 I already bought Doomsdays Hunters and Brotato (10/10 both). Also you guys made me interest in Ember Knights... Now we have Vampire Survivors💀💀💀😭😭 My wallet is literally shaking

[@Gounen]

I've been playing Brotato and Army of Ruin recently - and tomorrow this!

[@crazyoldschool6342]

So cool that this is on switch. Hope to see a physical one day.

[@VivixxFox]

That enemy dieing popping sound makes me so happy XD 9 hours in and I am loving it.

[@timrowley2039]

Ok. In 3 days I e put like 12 hours into this. I’ve never played a game like this before. I mean yes, games like it, but not with all the elements working so cohesively. It is like the ultimate dopamine trip. I only tried it because you suggested it. Thank you for the AWESOME rec.

[@s27448632]

Ive been playing this for about 2 weeks on my steam deck and loving it. Its basically designed as an achievement hunting game. If you target the achievements, you will also get unlocks like extra weapons, characters, levels etc.

[@s27448632]

And there are A LOT of secrets in this game. I've been pleasantly surprised as to how much info the wikis actually have on something that looks so simple at first

[@NINisTR1]

Check out Halls Of Torment :)

[@Aelitagurl]

Bought this back on PC when I heard about it via the Nintendo Showcase. Best spontaneous buy I've bought in quite some time! I can now work on progressing it on switch from the comfort of my bed ❤

[@DanCarnellious]

I dont even need to watch this but I am because algorithm, your reviews arw great and my copy is currently downloading. Sunk many many hours into this on Android, very excited to be doing it again on switch and just glad it ported well. Cheers for the review Mark!

[@N7Dante]

Played similar before, but with the amount of mentions Vampire Survivors keeps getting I'm prolly gonna have to get this at some point. Maybe I can convince some friends to play co-op too :D

[@dazzianocolucci3538]

It's devilishly addictive! Mastering the Grimoire is essential to Evolving the loadout. Great game. Played it on Game pass and ended up buying it on Xbox series X. It's the perfect game for the switch so I'll be buying it again. Cheers guys, great game, great review.

[@ToodleDoodle]

Bought it months ago on PC for like a dollar, and have both DLC on Steam. Bought it again for the Switch and starting over is so fun.

[@andyrigs86]

Loved playing this game on Gamepass, it’s so addictive. I’m deffo purchasing this when I get back off my hols for my switch. Hopefully many more get this after watching this video. 😊

[@brandonvaughan5331]

Wish listed this as soon as I was able. I’m buying this the second it’s available to download! Thanks guys!

[@MemerDink]

Thanks for the heads up totally forgot this coming to switch have it on pc, I 100% it just to unlock queen sigma did it for her name alone.

[@mharnie6937]

Such an awesome game, time flies really fast when im playing this on my phone, i so pumped to get it on switch

[@theevildude666]

Its sooooo good. Garlic FTW! Had alot of Gold coins so ive only paid 1,60 for the Game and both DLC. Already played on Game Pass but on Switch in Handheld, the dream

[@Openreality]

Seriously the best swarm survive game Eva. My fave is either old man with garlic or white Todo

[@flytetime7637]

It looks like an upgraded version of Halls of the Things from the 48k Spectrum.

[@alpacatears]

A handy beginner tip is that the garlic is a great option as you get used to the game.

[@TheCorpusDelicti]

Ugh... can't imagine adding another to the backlog right now with BG3 in the mix, but this looks really fun.

[@SamDavies94]

Bloody good innit

[@SwitchUpYt]

BLOODY GOOD mate. Mark

[@monkeyball9223]

Lmao 🤣

[@thumbstickstv2654]

so happy this is on switch now, I have this on my xbox and my phone, 100% pre order this and now all I want is it on ps5 so I can do everything all over again 100% worth a buy A game truly based on gameplay rather than graphics ( graphics isn't everything_ but i love pixel anyway so id be biased there lol

[@Napoleon_4pcs]

I've been eagerly waiting for this to launch on the switch for a while now. Although I will buy it as soon as I get back home, I'm really hoping for a physical release of it down the line (hopefully a retail version, or a european lim print company)! Gonna try and convince my family members to join me in this endevour. That might be more challenging than the acutal game ;)

[@Zaque-TV]

Yes. This game must be preserved at all costs.

[@GoodNintentions]

First digital game I’ve ever preordered on switch

[@SwitchUpYt]

Get ready to not do ANYTHING else mate - Mark

[@mrwannabe00]

Can't wait, and I hope Holocure gets ported as well

[@simonchiu9595]

I played both PC and android, if anyone is on the fence the android version is fully featured for free and has minimal ads (only if you want a free revive), on-screen controls are the only annoyance. Poncle is a gold class developer.

[@kcant65]

I got this preordered for the discount and also got the dlc. I think I will love this but Brotato has little chance of not being my favourite as in the end it takes more skill to win, especially on the higher difficulties(I am stuck trying to beat 4 right now.) If you like this there are 3 other games on Switch to try. Brotato, Army Of Ruin, and Spirit Hunters. If like Vampire Survivors but can't get over the art style Army Of Ruin and Spirit Hunters look much better. If you really like Vampire Survivors you should give them a try anyway. Every game has something that mixes up the formula a little bit.

[@nicked_fenyx]

Pre-ordered this game after wanting to play it for a long time, and have been enjoying it all morning. I'm still not sure if it will replace my current obsession with Brotato. Brotato was easier to pick up, understand, and feel like I was making progress in it. There's still a lot of content for me to unlock in that game, despite putting an ungodly amount of hours into it so far. That said, I can already see VS having a lot to unlock as well. It takes a bit more determination to get over the initial starting difficulty, but once you start earning more gold, unlocking more items, characters, maps, etc, it gets pretty fun. Glad to see this game receiving such a warm reception on the Switch. I look forward to many more hours of slaying, earning, upgrading, and repeating!

[@malazan6004]

Brotato is very addictive but I wish it had talents to work towards like VS and spirit hunters.

[@HerEvilTwin]

I’m happy this finally made it to the Switch. Been playing it on Steam Deck for a while now.

[@prototype102010]

I enjoy VS but it's not my favorite Bullet Heaven. That would either be, oldschool Bullet Heaven, Nation Red or Halls of torment. Especially Halls of Torment. Enemies having different aggression patterns, the quest system, armor... it's so much more addicting. But I did insta buy VS on Switch today so thanks for the reminder!

[@Nedwig747]

Looks like an absolute blast! Such a great switch game too!

[@Christophoronomicon]

This game reminds me of when I was playing Gauntlet on my Amstrad CPC6128 computer (yeah, I'm old and French). Some of the levels looked pretty much like this game, i.e. getting swarmed with what looked like hundreds of enemies on screen. If you had just lost a life in the previous level and only had your base attack you were royally f*d...

[@VeilKou]

The chests are actually dropped by boss enemies. Also, this is my favorite review channel. Cheers, mate. 🥂

[@jek.23]

I was browsing in the Eshop then this came in my recommended videos, and I didn't even think twice getting it.

[@maidakin9069]

So I’ll essentially become a vampire that survives off the dopamine this game gives me, I’m sold

[@ashleybrooks5336]

Not my usual type of game but does look very tempting! Thanks for the heads up, I remember hearing about it some months ago, I believe :)

[@cantoniodasilva]

I picked it up recently on steam and might double dip on the switch, it’s super fun.

[@enriquepinero707]

This game looks like the Gauntlet successor on the Switch; I have been waiting for!

[@JesusCommando]

Bought this on a whim last night, I didn’t know anything about it but at £3.59 it was defo worth a punt! Now I’m playing it as soon as I’m out of bed, fantastic wee game

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah it is quality! Mark

[@gt3racer2187]

Love this game. So happy this is finally out.

[@Spenerico]

Sometimes I just love autoplaying your videos while working, feels like UK gaming TV of old, you need to buy the rights to the Cybernet robot.

[@olaf5929]

It's the Nokia's Snake on steroids. Has to be fun.

[@HentoeGames]

Thanks for the great video, I will pick this up for sure.

[@Night-Jester]

I did my yard work, it's my day off of actual work, and we had a dry air front to offset our humid 100 degree temperature in my part of TX. I'm going to have a good night playing this! Nevermind FML it comes out tomorrow...maybe it will unlock at midnight orrr maybe just maybe it won't.

[@SwitchUpYt]

That's a gaming session well earned! Mark

[@Night-Jester]

​@@SwitchUpYtthanks man! :D

[@Night-Jester]

Heck yeah it released at 2:03 AM CST! I checked at 2:01 and no go. Luckily a lot of games release around 2 AM for me. Ohhh man let's go!

[@morai534]

This isn't my usual kind of game, but color me intrigued! And at that price, it's a no-brainer.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Would love to hear how you get on!

[@morai534]

I'm reporting back to say yeah this shouldn't be my cup of tea but I am having a complete blast with it.@@SwitchUpYt

[@SkyFellowship]

Played the fuck out of this on Steam, then all my progress was wiped, so, I figured I might as well go Switch if I'm starting the fucker again anyway. Phenomenal game.

[@DP3com]

Purchased the base game + both dlcs with gold coins. No regrets.

[@Keinish79]

I have played it on PC and it's simple and fun. Saw it on a video, they said the game was cheap, so I gave it a try. It was totally worth it. I will probably get it on the switch too, the game sounds too appealling when playing something quick on the go.

[@marekpotoczny3704]

Been waiting for this for a while. And co-op … my god

[@Readingisfun45]

Picked up brotato the other day , looks like ill enjoy this one too.

[@prodoomer3166]

To the eShop!! Thanks for the review.

[@Scooby_0707]

Been killing it on PC, cant wait to give it a go on the Switch

[@theonetruetom]

I really can't add anything else to my backlog... *immediately buys*

[@ThePlob]

such a good game for so little money waiting for your red dead 1 review to see if i should pick it up

[@garyryckewaert5724]

This looks very fun! Kind of reminds me of geometry wars.

[@SpanglishBear]

This game makes me wanna try and learn how to make a game on my own! I know it is hard but I just wanna try for the fun and craft of it

[@Mike-og1qk]

100% agree coins would about cover it. Too bad I just spent mine on Quake which was equally as cheap.

[@aberoy9957]

I remember an arcade game that looked similar to this, it was really hard and instead of an open map it was kinda like mazes can't remember the name

[@UndeadEggmiester]

I've never preordered a game so fast in my life as I did this one as soon as it was on the shop. Also one of it's dlc.

[@SwitchUpYt]

Happy days mate you're in for a treat! Mark

[@MrEnigma2099]

I have over 50 hrs on my steam account. It's easily going to double on the switch lol I cant wait!

[@sikevillain]

This looks absolutely addictive... After being obsessed with Loop hero for a long time.. im happy to find another game to give my time too! A Physical copy anybody?

[@RAY19740]

Great reviews as always I just pro order it yesterday but i don't know i can get both DLC ?? 😮

[@benhetherington2261]

Played it on pc, played it on mobile, cannot bloomin’ wait to play it on the big screen with my other half in couch coop 😁😁😁

[@sonicplys64]

I love this game. It was my Game of the Year last year, beating God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring. Switch people, buy this game.

[@GrantdotPay95]

This looks great! Will look forward to picking this up in later days to play co-op! Anybody know if the DLCs are worth getting too?

[@kinomon]

the chests don't randomly appear they appear when you kill one of the glowing or bigger enemies

[@Tyloriousify]

This game is on top of my anticipation list. I think when chests spawn though is when you kill bosses.

[@NINisTR1]

Pretty good game... I bought Halls Of Torment instead on steam. Might come to Switch as its still in early access. There is a free android version too.

[@JustAFatGuyInTX]

Looks damn fun, just need to find those mythical 4 friends to enjoy this with.

[@boomboxmartian]

Heck ya. Ive had this pre-ordered since the day it was available to do so.

[@MrS1ebee]

Been playing this in my android tablet for a while but definitely gonna pick up on switch too... Belter of a game

[@CragScrambler]

An absolute banger of an game, gave me an excuse to use my Switch again, super addictive, very fun and at a wallet friendly price.

[@Werticus11]

The runs I have on the Xbox series x of this game would blow up my switch.

[@SwitchUpYt]

hahahah

[@Link1309]

Glad this game is finally on switch. Can't wait to play it one day on switch

[@MajorChipHazard316]

Needs to have effects all over the screen to actually see how well it performs. Also wonder how trouser builds will handle cuz u literally get less coins if ur fps tanks so it’ll be interesting in seeing the trouser coin builds on switch to get eggs if they can be optimal or not. And than ofcourse giving characters hella eggs and see if it breaks the switch haha. If u know u know.

[@kcadventures1454]

They did it....they finally did it. A rogue game i actually enjoy!

[@McCoy_Buck]

Decent soundtrack? This game has some bangers on it

[@ppbunt]

Can’t wait till I get home from work today 😂

[@JKernx]

such a great game! usually not my style but it gets you so hooked

[@Anderson_101]

This is the most, must buy game in the history of the Switch must buy games, trust me. Ridiculously cheap, crazy deep and addictive.

[@offthewallsurfer1]

Does this game have hd rumble or haptic feedback on the switch?
