Shoot, Stack & Slay in Vampire Hunters – a Retro FPS with Rogue-lite Gameplay

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil – June 13, 2023 – To hunt vampires, you’ll need guns … lots of guns. Mow down vampires, demons, and everything in-between in Vampire Hunters – a new retro FPS coming soon to Steam Next Fest. The undead are about to learn the true meaning of bullet hell!

Inspired by the indie hit Vampire Survivors, Gamecraft Studios’ Vampire Hunters has players stack weapons until you end up with absurd, impossibly awesome builds. Test your firepower, die, then try again with rogue-lite elements, insane-yet-useful upgrades, and addicting “just one more try” gameplay. Relentless action, blood-pumping music, and a darkly steampunk world combine to deliver a gun-crazy, fantastical FPS experience unlike anything else on Steam.

Play the free demo during Steam Next Fest!

Lead producer Tiago Zaidan will stream the game LIVE during Steam Next Fest on the following dates/times:

• Monday, June 19 at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time
• Friday, June 23 at 12:30 p.m. Pacific Time

“With Vampire Hunters, we wanted to create an FPS where players are free to try different builds in every run – with high replayability and an engaging gameplay loop similar to Vampire Survivors,” says Tiago Zaidan, CEO and lead producer at Gamecraft Studios. “In this FPS, the player walks straight ahead focusing entirely on building their awesome weapon stack. The corridor-like level design allows the player to focus on what matters: vampire hunting! Besides the weapon-stacking mechanic, the player can further customize their builds with perks, upgrades, constellations, relics and more. Once you put the pieces together, you end up with something quite special – particularly if you’re a retro FPS and/or rogue-lite fan.”
