About the Game
V Rising is a vampire survival RPG where you hunt blood by night, dodge sunlight, and build a castle.
V Rising is an action RPG with survival elements and a massively multiplayer tag, developed and published by Stunlock Studios. You wake as a weakened vampire after centuries of sleep, and your first job is to feed on blood to regain your strength. Sunlight is deadly, so you plan your movement around sunrise and sunset, staying in the shadows during the day and hunting once darkness falls.
The core loop revolves around gathering resources, discovering ancient technology, and building a castle that stores your loot and houses a growing dark army. You can recruit humans as loyal servants, craft coffins for them and for friends, and reinforce your stronghold against rival vampires. Raiding villages, ambushing bandits, and pushing into the territory of supernatural beasts give the world its dangerous edge.
The setting is a gothic open world of dense forests, open countryside, and dark caves, drawn from myth and horror. Combat leans on a range of weapons and spells. You aim with WASD and the mouse, fire spells, and dodge incoming projectiles without needing mouse clicks to move. Defeating strong enemies gives you new spells to combine with your weapons, so you can shape a vampire playstyle that suits you.
Multiplayer is flexible. You can play alone offline, team up with friends, or compete by attacking other players' castles. The store page frames it as a game of blood, power, and betrayal, where you decide whether to compete or cooperate with the other vampires you meet.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
V Rising suits players who enjoy open-world exploration, base building, and gradually growing a personal stronghold. It is a strong pick for anyone who likes a dark, gothic atmosphere and wants to plan their own approach to combat and loadouts. Friends who enjoy cooperative play or light player-versus-player rivalry will also find plenty to do.
Not Recommended For
Players who want a tightly scripted, story-driven campaign may find the open-ended structure less satisfying. Anyone uncomfortable with competing against other players' castles should think carefully before diving into the PvP side of the game. If you prefer short, focused sessions with clear objectives at every turn, the sprawling world and survival rhythm may feel like a slog.
What the Steam Reviews Say
V Rising holds a Very Positive rating on Steam (極度好評), with 89% of reviews being positive. That is a high approval rate, and it suggests that most players who have spent time with the game feel it delivers on its core promises.
The review volume is in the hundreds of thousands, which is a large and meaningful sample. A rating this strong backed by that many reviews is generally a solid signal of consistent quality, though individual tastes still vary and a high percentage does not guarantee the game suits every player.

V Rising is currently discounted by 55% on Steam in Taiwan, with the price falling from its regular NT$ 566 to NT$ 254. These are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. The NT$ 254 price is also the lowest we have recorded so far, and the highest price we have recorded is the regular NT$ 566.
Our price record is still short, so the verdict here is tentative. The game has been discounted often in what we have tracked, and it has never been offered free to keep, so there is no free-to-keep record to rely on.
For now, the current price sits at the bottom of our recorded range, which makes it a reasonable moment to buy if the game appeals to you. If you want more certainty about whether a lower price will come, adding it to your wishlist and watching the price trend here is a sensible approach.
