Apple Arcade is adding Vampire Survivors to its collection at no extra cost on August 1, 2024 — and it’s ad free.
Apple announced the addition of Vampire Survivors+ as a version with both premium expansions included at no extra cost. The complete removal of ads is perhaps what makes this version most appealing, however, giving it a leg up on the version of the gothic rogue-lite game already available on mobile.
“Mow thousands of night creatures and survive until dawn in Vampire Survivors, a gothic horror game with rogue-lite elements, where your choices can allow you to quickly snowball against the hundreds of monsters that get thrown at you,” reads the official synopsis.
Vampire Survivors became one of the biggest surprise hits of the last few years as what launched as a humble indie game on Steam blew up into and snowballed in popularity itself. Developer Poncle soon added layers of new content to the game, and the core experience now offers 50 playable characters and 80 weapons to play with. That’s before the two major expansions too, meaning Apple Arcade is about to add a ton of content at no additional cost, though the service is priced at $6.99 a month otherwise.
In our 7/10 review, IGN said: “It may look extremely basic, but if you give Vampire Survivors’ clever one-stick shooter idea a chance to sink its teeth into you it might not let go for a while.”
Apple Arcade is also adding Temple Run: Legends on August 1, while Castle Crumble joins on August 29.
