About Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors
Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard, from the BAFTA‑winning creators of Vampire Survivors, reimagines the original’s snowballing combat as a turn‑based, card‑driven experience. Players explore dungeon maps, level up powers, and defeat monsters using decks that grow and evolve over each run.
The game mixes tactical deck‑building with roguelite progression, letting you choose a slow, deliberate pace or accelerate turns to the fastest possible speed. It offers single‑player play, Steam achievements, full controller support, Steam Cloud sync, and Family Sharing on Windows and macOS.
01 / THE GUIDE
Turn‑Based Deckbuilding
Combat proceeds in turn‑based rounds where you select cards to play in ascending mana order. Each subsequent card multiplies the effect of the previous one, creating escalating damage chains.
Wild cards can extend a combo chain to ten, twenty, or even thirty cards, allowing you to build very long sequences that snowball the overall impact.
- Arrange lower‑mana cards first to maximize later multipliers.
- Reserve Wild cards for moments when you have a strong pool to extend.
02 / THE GUIDE
Dungeon Exploration
Each run takes place in a dungeon filled with functional walls, unique treasures, and interactive elements. You can open chests for power‑ups and gems that augment your cards.
Finding a shovel lets you dig to the next floor, moving deeper into the dungeon and exposing new challenges and rewards.
- Check every chest for gems that boost card abilities.
- Locate the shovel early to keep your descent momentum.
03 / THE GUIDE
Progression and Leveling
Experience earned from battles is used to level up, unlocking new cards for future runs. This roguelite loop encourages deck refinement over multiple attempts.
Legendary weapon evolutions become available as you progress, offering powerful upgrades that can dramatically shift combat dynamics.
- Target enemies that grant high experience early in a run.
- Prioritize legendary evolutions to boost late‑game power.
04 / THE GUIDE
Controller Support
The game includes full controller compatibility, supporting both DualShock and DualSense devices. You can navigate menus, select cards, and manage decks using a gamepad.
Steam Cloud syncs your progress, and Family Sharing lets the game be shared with other accounts on the same platform.
- Map frequently used actions to comfortable buttons for faster play.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep your deck progress safe.
05 / THE GUIDE
Turbo Turn Mechanics
You may choose a measured pace for tactical decisions or accelerate turns to the fastest possible speed, creating rapid snowballing damage.
The Turboturn™ system underpins this speed choice, allowing the same deck to function in both slow and hyper‑fast modes.
- Try both speeds to see which yields higher combo efficiency.
- Fast turns can amplify multipliers if your deck is well‑balanced.
