Therefore, it's especially interesting when a spin-off stops being just an addition to the brand and quickly starts living its own life.
This is exactly how Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard started. Studio Poncle announced that the game, released a few days ago, has already surpassed the one million copies sold mark. This is a result achieved in just one week after release – a figure that is hard to ignore. This is not a new main installment in the series, but a side project with a different mood and format.
Interestingly, the game did not become a direct copy of Vampire Survivors. It combines deck-building, roguelite, and dungeon exploration. The developers added the collection of unusual combinations, deck development, and a pace that can be adjusted to suit oneself, from calm planning to almost instantaneous moves. It seems Poncle has hit the mark once again.
