Vampire Survivors, the popular isometric roguelike survival game developed by Luca Galante/poncle, is coming to the Nintendo Switch this August. The announcement was made during the June 21 Nintendo Direct livestream.
Originally released in 2022, the game pits players against increasing numbers of enemies which grow stronger with each wave. But players have some defenses at their fingertips, like weapons that attack enemies automatically. Leveling up and and unlocking treasure chests left behind by slain enemies will also give players an edge in combat by supplying them with stronger weapons and character upgrades that make survival a less daunting task.

“There’s no place where to hide, all you can do is try to survive a cursed night and get as much gold as possible for the next survivor, before Death inevitably puts an end to your struggles,” the official Vampire Survivors website says of the game. The site also serves as a gaming platform itself, giving players a chance to check out a browser-based demo of the game.
