Whereas the previous has had two superlative DLC packs, the latter has began faltering just lately as we noticed with the Back to the Future pack. When poncle introduced the Vampire Survivors Emergency Assembly DLC, the primary collaboration DLC, I used to be a bit involved. Vampire Survivors continues to really feel too good to be true with worth and enjoyable, so I maintain pondering it would falter by some means. Would the primary collaboration be that? Fortunately not. This evaluate will cowl the iOS, Steam Deck, and Xbox Collection X variations.

On paper, the Vampire Survivors Emergency Assembly DLC was already price it at simply $2.49 even when it solely added the one massive map. The truth that it brings in 9 new characters, 15 new weapons, new music, and even and Journey is simply icing on the sus cake. As somebody who hasn’t performed a lot of Amongst Us, I used to be curious how I’d discover this DLC. It seems, it’s nonetheless excellent, and I really feel like the chances listed here are even crazier than earlier than simply within the Journey, not to mention essential modes.

Issues get a bit too loopy, and I want Valve had mounted the Steam Deck seize so I might present you ways a lot the body charge can drop after a fancy run in direction of the top. Both means, I really like how enjoyable issues are with the characters and weapons within the Vampire Survivors Emergency Assembly DLC.

Out of the brand new weapons and characters, Imposter Rina is certainly my favourite adopted by the Scientist Mina. The Science Rocks and Vent are the funniest new gadgets for positive, however the evolutions on this DLC actually elevate it to a complete different degree. I undoubtedly suggest experiencing it by the Journey when you may, as a result of the crew did a implausible job with that.

Visually, Vampire Survivors Emergency Assembly DLC virtually seamlessly transitions Amongst Us content material and animations into its aesthetic. It simply works and makes full sense while you play the DLC degree and begin unlocking characters. Whereas I haven’t performed a lot of Amongst Us, the brand new music in Vampire Survivors Emergency Assembly DLC is admittedly nice. This soundtrack continues to be the present that retains on giving identical to the sport. It’s complemented by the beautiful new sounds for the weapons and gadgets included within the DLC.

If you happen to’re new to Vampire Survivors and haven’t gotten the prior DLC but or performed it in co-op, learn my co-op impressions of the Steam model here, my Nintendo Swap evaluate here, Steam Deck evaluate of Vampire Survivors 1.0 here, Legacy of the Moonspell DLC evaluate here, iOS evaluate here, and Tides of the Foscari DLC evaluate here. I’m an enormous fan, and I’m glad to see poncle proceed the top quality free updates and DLC with 1.8 and the paid Vampire Survivors Emergency Assembly collaboration DLC.

Even if you happen to don’t care or learn about Amongst Us, the Vampire Survivors Emergency Assembly DLC is a necessary buy. It’s simply wild and loopy within the funniest potential methods whereas delivering a lot by the characters, weapons, stage, and journey included.

If you happen to’ve not performed Vampire Survivors shortly, seize this DLC (and prior DLC) and get again. Vampire Survivors deserves it. Hats off to poncle for this one. Each figuratively and in-game.
