◆ 1: How to introduce Japanese MOD
Vampire Survivors can be translated into Japanese by activating the beta version. To enable it, first right-click Vampire Survivors in your Steam library and select Properties.



Next, select 'public-beta --Public Beta' from 'Beta' and set the language to Japanese in the game, and the official Japanese localization is completed for the time being.



However, according to Mr.

Asahina , who produced the translation mod, the official Japanese support is still in beta, so there are still problems with untranslated places and displays. Therefore, this time I will introduce and play the translation mod that he distributes.

First, access the above URL and download the Japanese localization file.



Click the button in the red frame in the upper right to download the compressed file to any location.



Extract the compressed file using decompression software such as

Explzh .



Then, from the right-click menu of 'Vampire Survivors' in the Steam library, click 'Manage' and then 'Browse Local Files'.



When the local folder of Vampire Survivors is displayed, open 'resources' 'app' '.webpack' 'renderer' 'assets' 'lang' in that order, overwrite the contents of the compressed file extracted earlier, and you're done.



When I started the game, it was well translated into Japanese.



◆ 2: I actually played it
So, the following movie was actually played.

This is the start screen for Vampire Survivors. Click 'START' to start the game.



Although multiple characters are implemented, the only character that can be selected first is 'Antonio', so select it and click 'START'.



Game Start. The player character is surrounded by a red frame, and the red bar below the character is the physical strength. The operation is a mouse operation that moves the character in that direction by 'moving the mouse while pressing the left click', or a so-called WASD operation that the character moves to 'up by W on the keyboard / left by A / down by S / right by D'. There are two types. It also supports stick operation of the controller.



The attack will come out automatically.



When the attack hits and the enemy disappears ...



There is a certain probability that the 'Experience Gem', a jewel that will be the source of experience points, will appear.



When you bring the character closer to the jewel and gain experience points, the gauge at the top of the screen will increase.



When the gauge is full, the level goes up and you can choose one of the three randomly appearing items. This time, I took 'Magic Wand' where a bullet is fired at the nearest enemy.



Then, the attack with the Whip that I had from the beginning and the bullet of 'Magic Wand' came out at the same time. In this way, Vampire Survivors will increase the number of attacks that can be launched at the same time each time you take an item.



Some of the items include 'Spinach (top)' which increases the damage dealt by 10%, and you can also get the Whip (bottom) you already have and upgrade your Whip further.



As you progress through the game, a glowing bat-like boss character will appear surrounded by a red frame.



When you defeat the boss character, a treasure chest will appear with a certain probability.



Obtaining a treasure chest will give you an upgrade of any of the items you have (bottom) and coins (top) that can be used for power-ups and character release as described below.



When an enemy touches a character, it will be damaged and the health bar will be reduced.



The game is over when the health bar runs out. If you select 'QUIT', you will be returned to the Start screen after the result screen appears.



From 'POWER UP' on the start screen, you can spend coins to strengthen the character you control.



There are various enhancement items such as 'Might' that raises the basic attack power of the character.



Let's start again.



Since the new character can be released with 10 coins, select 'Unlock'.



Then, you can use 'Imelda', which is a new character equipped with the above-mentioned 'Magic Wand' as standard equipment. In this way, the basic flow of Vampire Survivors is to repeat strengthening and challenge.



◆ 3: Summary
Vampire Survivors is a simple game where you just move the character up, down, left and right, but as you play, you will be able to make more and more flashy attacks, so you will feel stronger and the exhilaration of clearing the enemies that fill the screen. You can taste it. Another point is the ease with which one play can be completed in about 30 minutes at the longest.



Items that can be acquired are random each time, and since there are more than 10 characters with various characteristics other than the initial weapon at the time of writing the article of the early access version, it will be a game with a different feeling each time you repeat the challenge. Weapons can also evolve and become more powerful as you enhance certain combinations of items, so it's also fun to find an enhancement route that matches your playstyle.



From 'COLLECTION' ...



You can browse the items you have acquired so far.



Also, there is 'ACHIEVEMENTS' where you can clear certain tasks and get achievements, so I felt that the play style that aims to fill the collection elements is also ant.



'Vampire Survivors' can be purchased on Steam, and the price at the time of writing the article for the early access version is 300 yen including tax. Also, there are no additional elements such as some characters implemented in the PC version, but you can play the browser version for free from
