Vampire Survivors – Ver. 1.12

Release date: October 31st 2024
Patch notes:

Ode to Castlevania (paid DLC)

20+ new characters

40+ new weapons and evolutions

30+ new music tracks

1 HUGE CASTLE

How to jump into Ode to Castlevania

Reach Level 20 in the first stage to unlock Inlaid Library and therefore Stage Selection.

At the bottom of Stage Selection, choose “Ode to Castlevania”.

Gameplay in Ode to Castlevania

All characters from Ode to Castlevania have the ability to find special pick-ups, in any stage. Initially this is limited to Wall Chicken (that is the big brother of Floor chicken of course) but 3 more types of pickups will be unlocked while progressing through the Ode to Castlevania stage.

All characters have at least 1 unlockable Weapon Selector, that can be chosen from Character Selection by clicking/pressing a button on the character’s icon at the bottom of the screen. All Weapon Selectors have to be unlocked; to do that, every weapon in a specific Weapon Selector has to be unlocked first.

There are a lot of bosses in the Ode to Castlevania stage, but you’ll have to actively seek most of them instead of waiting for the right minute for them to appear. You’ll find new icons on the map to help you navigate the stage.

Evolutions are straightforward and work just like in the base game: find the right passive to pair with an active weapon (some might require the passive to be at Max Level).

Free Update

Advanced Music Selection

There are so many tracks in the game, especially if you have some DLC packs, that the little menu was really struggling to be functional anymore. And it comes from someone who knows the order of the music tracks by memory… so we have added an advanced menu to easily navigate through different albums and music tracks to chose from

MEGA SEAL

After buying any of the Seal Power-ups, you’ll also unlock the Mega Seal panel in the Collection menu. This panel lets you easily seal the content of a whole DLC, or even of the whole base game. Who needs weapons anyway?

Pause Menu Map ZOOM

You can now zoom in and out on the pause-menu map. 2024 ho!

Pause Menu Arcana Info

You can now get a reminder of what your chosen arcana do. Affected weapons are also highlighted. Another big step for humanity.

New Passives in Preview mode

In order to complete the evos for Ode to Castlevania, we needed 2 passive weapons from the future to be available today! So, while the patch to properly unlock them will arrive sometime next year, for now it will be possible to access these 2 new passives, Parm Aegis and Karoma’s Mana, through the Arma Dio’s selection menu.

Memory usage improvements

Several optimisations have been made to reduce memory usage, that should help the late-game running better on console and mobile.

Additional notes: none.
