Although the hype around Vampire Survivors seems to have died down, its community continues to grow due in large part to the largess of its developer, Poncle. Over the past year, it's released four major updates (all completely free), and two bargain-priced DLC packs; and don't forget, the game is completely free on the Play Store and you don't even need a high-end gaming phone to play it (but it couldn't hurt). In addition to this constant supply of new content, the gameplay is notoriously replayable, capable of sucking away hours of your life as you endeavor to unlock new stages, weapons, and characters. Some of these unlocks are easier than others, but one of the first big hurdles most players have to overcome is defeating the level-ender itself, The Reaper.
