As we said a few days ago in our selection of the best independent games of the beginning of 2022, all media will go through a small crossing of the desert of several weeks, even several months, in terms of the release of wingspan . A godsend for more modest productions or new epiphenomena out of nowhere, Pokeclicker style. Available since yesterday in the early access category of Steam , V Rising has all the necessary ingredients to hope to meet with success.
Survival, crafting, PVP... It ticks all the boxes
One more we want to say. A few weeks ago, we already told you about the small but sturdy Core Keeper and its crafting and survival mechanics conducive to a rather "chill" and unfussy game. With V Rising, we are on something that plays much less on relaxation, with a survival aspect that is certainly quite limited, but already everything you need in its combat system to claim to have players compete against each other in games. player against player which should keep fans of the discipline well occupied. The Stunlock studio has already put PVP servers online for those who want to live dangerously, even if it means seeing their carefully constructed base ransacked in a few minutes by a high-ranking vampire.
Yet another survival game, but not only
We spent a few hours on V Rising's early access and so far the experience is quite satisfying and manages to stand out from many other games in its category thanks to some original mechanics. First of all, your vampire status makes it impossible for you to remain exposed to light in broad daylight, which will make exploration and farming much more complicated during the daytime phases. Also, the game relies very quickly on the construction of your base and this will not simply be used to provide you with a refuge or more comfort, since it is really thanks to your castle that you will be able to hope to improve your equipment and expand your territory.
