How co-op works
Up to four local or online players survive together in one arena, steering characters whose weapons fire automatically. The group collects experience, chooses complementary upgrades, and stays close enough to combine attacks while thousands of enemies close in until the time limit.
About this game
Vampire Survivors is a gothic horror roguelite where you survive waves of nightmarish creatures until dawn breaks. Originally designed as a solo auto-battler, it now includes online co-op that lets teams face the same overwhelming swarms together. This is purely cooperative survival, not competitive play.

Your character auto-fires attacks while you move through monster-filled arenas, leveling up and choosing upgrades that turn you into a walking bullet hell. Each run is a race to build devastating weapon synergies before the screen fills with thousands of enemies. Playing with others amplifies the chaos as overlapping builds create screen-clearing combos and even wilder destruction.
Online co-op and Steam Remote Play Together both let friends join your runs, whether across town or across continents. Sessions are bite-sized, communication stays loose, and replayability hinges on testing fresh character and upgrade combinations as a group. Every attempt becomes a shared experiment in how long your team can hold out against the swarm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does co-op work in Vampire Survivors?
You can play online co-op or use Steam Remote Play Together to survive runs with friends. Everyone fights the same hordes together, building their own character upgrades while the chaos scales up. It's purely cooperative survival-you're working together to last until dawn, not competing.
Do I need to communicate a lot with my co-op partner?
Not really. Communication can stay pretty loose since everyone manages their own auto-attacking character and upgrade choices. You're mostly just enjoying the chaos together and seeing how your builds combine to clear the screen.
How long does a typical co-op run take?
Runs are bite-sized-you're surviving until dawn or until you get overwhelmed, which typically wraps up in 15-30 minutes. It's designed for quick, replayable sessions where you try different character and upgrade combinations each time.
Can I play with friends on different platforms?
The game supports Windows and Mac, and online co-op works across both. Steam Remote Play Together also lets you share your game with friends who don't own it, though they'll need a Steam account to join.
