Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors Launches with Release Trailer

poncle has released its second title after the massive success of its debut title, Vampire Survivors. The genre-creating experience spawned an all-new game inspired by its gameplay, becoming one of the highlights of 2022.

Now, the team has moved on from the bullet heaven and joined a competitive market — deckbuilder roguelikes. With Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors, poncle is bringing a new take on the genre that brings the fast-paced, addictive gameplay of Vampire Survivors to the usually strategic titles.

The game has been one of the most anticipated of 2026, as players look forward to the new foray into deckbuilding, as poncle's fast-paced approach seems antithetical and oxymoronic to the genre. Still, after a highly successful Steam Next Fest launch, players couldn't wait to get more of the addictive gameplay loop.

The trailer shows off the sort of gameplay that players can expect, showcasing some of the characters and higher-quality graphics and voice-acting present in this spin-off. You can check it out embedded above to get a feel of Vampire Crawlers!

The gameplay loop revolved around crawling while selecting a party of heroes, adjusting the overall deckbuilding element depending on the party. Stacking combos includes using cards that cost more mana, increasing damage and buffs exponentially, while players can also just spam some abilities whenever they want to wipe out the whole wave.

It's finally here, as Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors launched on the 21st of April 2026. You can pick it up for £8.99, with an additional discount for owners of Vampire Survivors that'll bring the price down a smidge! There's also a demo available for those who want to check it out ahead of making a purchase.
