V Rising is a brand new survival game where you play as a freshly awakened vampire on a quest to conquer the world of humans. You’ll spend your time doing traditional vampire activities such as drinking blood, transforming into animals, sleeping in a coffin and, of course, mining copper ore for crafting purposes. Just like Dracula. He loved a bit of copper ore.
Although V Rising shares a lot of similarities with the likes of Valheim and Don’t Starve - requiring players to gather materials in order to progress through an expansive technology tree - its Vampire theming introduces a number of unique mechanics that make the game feel distinct and fresh. I’ve really enjoyed my time with it so far, and I think it could be the next big survival game hit.
The issue, as is so often the case with survival games, is that some elements of V Rising aren’t hugely intuitive. Thankfully, I’m here to help. In this beginner’s guide, I’ll give you all the tips you need to become the most powerful blood-sucking goth in all of Vardoran.
