I found myself laughing at my own stupidity when I burst into flames for the first time, as I realised I’d successfully de-forested any form of shade around my newly established home. It’s actually during the day that the player is at their most vulnerable, as you have to navigate your way through the shadows of nearby forests, staying out of the harsh rays of sunlight that will burn you to a crisp (unlike everything my sister shared with me growing up from her Twilight-phase, I don’t in-fact sparkle in the daylight). In other survival experiences, night-time is classified as the more ‘dangerous’ time to explore and adventure, as this is when all the dangerous monsters roam, but fan fact we’re playing as said monsters. The game actively encourages you to engage in combat if you want to get health back, and as someone who loves a good hack/slash experience, I’m completely on board with this!Īnother fun twist from traditional survival tropes is how the game handles its unique day and night cycles. As the primary focus of the game revolves around its combat, you’re prompted with the option to feed on your enemies once their health drops below a certain threshold dependent on the enemy type. The actual act of quenching your vampiric bloodthirst also presents itself in a much more enjoyable and fun format that has some-what irked me with other survival games, in which I’d always neglect to bring enough food. For someone who generally gets light-headed at the thought of blood, I never would have imagined the concept of plasma quality mattering so much to me, but here we are! Rather than waiting aimlessly around for your meat to cook, or maintaining a poorly organised farm (I still feel sorry for the poor animals who had to live in my Stardew Valley farm), you instead drink the blood of your weakened victims/prey, because you know… vampires! Heightening this, each enemy has different blood-types with unique qualities about them, granting various bonuses such as speed boosts or increased health regeneration. One of the best adjustments to the typical survival game formula is the way in which V Rising handles hunger.
