V Rising 1.0 Review - A Bloodsucking Good Time
07.05.2024 - 12:47 / mmorpg.com / Sam Plaisance
I have played a plethora of titles throughout my gaming career, especially those that fall into the MMORPG or Survival category. Very few of those titles can blend both MMORPG and survival together into one and keep me engaged for more than a few days. V Rising is one of those games you can simply get lost in for days at a time and very seldom get bored.
Though some things could be changed, fixed, or even added to the game to make it better, the game is extremely fun and a great survival-craft sandbox to sink your teeth into for hours upon hours.
Becoming the Vampire of Your Dreams
I’m going to start this off here because this is probably where the game lacks the most options. There are few options for customization for your vampire at the start, as you can only pick from a few features and hairstyles. With that said, there are several color options to choose from for skin tone and hair color, but overall, the character creation section is very lackluster.
Once your vampire is created and ready to go, the real fun begins as you arise gloriously from your coffin to embark on your journey. The beginning gameplay helps to get into the groove, as it shows you where to go, what to do, how everything works, and how to utilize the crafting system. The amount of detail in the tutorials in V Rising is amazing and never left me asking how to do something or where to find a menu. The devs really thought of everything to show budding vampires the ropes.
The vast and expansive world may appear small when looking at the map, but I assure you, especially before getting different forms that increase movement speed or travel points to fast travel, it takes quite a bit of time to get from one side to the other. This was especially felt when I chose to venture into the daytime, the sunlight burning into my vampire’s sensitive skin. This mechanic makes traversing the world more challenging, as the sunlight can burn any vampire to the bone if they aren’t careful. This is a nice touch, really staying true to what we know from Vampire lore.
Traveling with fast travel points is much easier, but it does have a major downside – there are a lot of things you cannot teleport with such as ores, cloth, and many other materials you gather along the way. This is a downer, but there are caves throughout the map that allow you to get from one side to the other rapidly with all of your gathered materials. This brings me to my next point; material gathering.
If you’ve played any other survival game, then gathering resources will be familiar; however, specific weapons can be crafted that make it go by much faster. Take the Mace, for example, which, when used, does 25% more damage to minerals, making mining much easier. Another plus

When it comes to video games, it's Samurai season. Medieval Japan is no stranger to the medium; From Okami and Onimusha to Tenchu and Total War, the setting has been explored in poetic and punchy ways before. But a few popular recent games have brought renewed interest in sword saints and shinobis. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice established the ethos of a modern action game set in Japan's tumultuous past, and Ghost of Tsushima refined the open-world, action-adventure genre for a Samurai story.

V Rising Players Unhappy About Missing Quality of Life Feature
The latest update for V Rising introduced a number of quality of life features, but the ability to craft from storage was not one of them, despite players' pleas to add it. Being able to store materials and have them automatically used without them being in the inventory is a highly requested feature in the survival crafting sub-genre. With multiple types of resources and storage containers, players were hopeful that it'd be added in V Rising's full launch update.
