Vampire Survivors developer poncle has announced a playable demo for Vampire Crawlers, their new roguelite deckbuilder spinoff to their indie hit.

The new playable demo for Vampire Crawlers is coming next month on February 23rd for PC and Xbox consoles.

A new video was also shared, the first in a series introducing mechanics in the game. It goes over the following:

The game intelligently stacks and executes your ability inputs with precision, allowing you to play at your own chaotic pace. It turns tactical combat into a fast, engaging, and visually rewarding experience.
• Card Customisation! – Discover endless ways to play your cards. Gems allow you to customize your cards with a variety of effects, ranging from raw damage multipliers to full Weapon Evolutions. Whether you want a simple power boost or deep strategic planning, Gems give every player the tools to create game-breaking combos.
