The latest update for Vampire Survivors brings a host of exciting new features, including five new Arcana cards that offer players unique ways to play. The update focuses on a new challenge phase and new Arcanas known as Darkanas.
The Darkasso update includes nine new achievements, a new stage, a new relic, two new character skins, and five new Arcana. Poncle noted that the five new Arcana are considered experimental and may be subject to change in the future.
New character skins are a kind of “special skins” that not only change the appearance of the character, but also change the basic stats and weapons of the character. These skins will be a reward for completing the two adventure modes in the main game. If you have already completed them, simply open the menu to access the new skins.
The Dark Arcana sounds fun – one of them makes the character throw out explosive projectiles every time they take damage, and the more health you’ve restored during the run, the more damage the projectiles do. You can deliberately take damage to power up your attacks.
The previous major Vampire Survivors update , Operation Guns, was a crossover with Contra and was fun and addictive, even adding jet-powered motorcycles.
You can find out more about the Darkasso update on Steam , where you can also find instructions on how to unlock all the new features.
Meanwhile, Vampire Survivors is coming to PS5 very soon – August 29.
