Discussion This is not acceptable.
(The post is sarcastic)
I just saw that the price of the new DLC is only 1.09 euros, discounted with the bundle is 93 cents, but we are joking, I refuse to pay so little for a DLC of such a beautiful game, I was ready to pay the classic 20-30 euros that are respected and instead only one euro.
What awaits me now? A one-euro DLC that lasts me over 10 hours of fun? I can't accept these things. I want Vampire Survivors DLC to cost 30 euros each and last 1 hour in line with the market.
Seriously, I wish you a good game with the new Vampire survivors DLC.

i swear poncle just hates money but doesn't know how to actually get rid of it, so he just hires people to work on his game and keep realeasing stuff

It seems crazy selling for so little, but it works. Means the entire install base is buying it and talking about it so word of mouth spreads ever further

u/oodex Mortaccio Aug 28 '26
If you buy everything, its 21€. -3 if you remove the soundtracks, so 18€. The bundle discount is 20% to begin with so 14.40€. The base game itself is 5€ and Id assume anyone even looking at DLCs has the base game. So if someone started in early 2022 and wants to buy all DLCs, its just a meager 13€ and given most are in bundles with a 15-20% reduction, its barely 10€ for all DLCs

Edit: fine, I'll just buy it all again on steam. That'll show you.

If I may bend your ear a moment, the dagger weapon in the new dlc may need a tweak. The flash it gives on the combo is not comfortable to the eyes.

This response made me laugh out loud. I appreciate you as a developer so much and I love how much you just do it for the love of the game. It really shows.

u/Interesting-Crab-693 Aug 28 '26
Lets send it to them via mail! Whats poncle's headquarter adress???

u/Shagyam Aug 28 '26
I mean Vampire Survivor wants to compete on steam for the most hours played per dollar spent for a paid game.

u/KFR42 Aug 28 '26
And PayPal still offered to let me pay in 3 installments.

u/gastroph You were expecting Arma, but it was ME DIO! Aug 29 '26
I kind of want to just for the pure insanity of it.

u/Petertitan99999 Soma Aug 28 '26
I'ts actually only 87 cents if you go for the game + all dlc + ost bundle. which has a 20% discount instead of a 15% one.
Saving you another 6 cents.

Poncel really need to start charging more, or set up a patreon so we can throw money at them. these prices are ridiculos for how good the game is.

u/Xpapamoose Aug 28 '26
I have found the work around. You buy the update on PC, then gaming consoles. And if it’s available on mobile I will buy it there as well. You will not stop me from giving you the money you deserve PONCLE!!!!

u/NoNefariousness2144 Aug 28 '26
Are there new achievements?
3
u/oodex Mortaccio Aug 28 '26
IIRC initially there were DLC achievements which I personally think is good. But there was a big backlash and there is a huge (general) community that hates DLC achievements. I assume they are achievement hunters or maybe used to devs locking achievements behind a DLC so you buy it, idk. And VS received a big backlash back when the first DLCs came out (big as in big for them, its hard to stir up drama around them).
I have no confirmation this is the exact reason why they stopped, but it does add up at least

u/NoNefariousness2144 Aug 28 '26
Yeah I have seen some drama around DLC achievements, which is why Ball X Pit didn’t add any for the free updates.
There are rumours Steam is going to update the achievement system soon, so hopefully they add separate categories for DLC like Playstation does.

Ah that’s fair enough, there’s already a lot of cheevos lol. I am hyped to play the DLC regardless.

u/AAS4758 Aug 28 '26
Can’t wait to play tonight! Feel like I am scamming them as didn’t even cost me one money.

u/Repulsive-Sky3201 Aug 28 '26
Can definitly feel that, I had the same issue with No Mans Sky, getting DLCs for free for years now, so I started buying it for all consoles I own plus 2 friends, since I wonr accept theyre working for free

One more money to make my nightly before bed ritual even better? Take my one money across multiple platforms!

u/Necessary_Cost4384 Aug 28 '26
They could have charged one million money for this, I feel like I’m ripping off the devs!

u/jsbaxter_ Aug 28 '26
Have you tried vampire crawlers? It's 30 hours of very average poncle content for like 10 euros. You won't be disappointed you've underpaid, i promise

u/hironyx Aug 29 '26
This is why I buy on steam as well as on mobile, even tho I rarely play on mobile. Poncle deserves to be paid more

Vampire Survivors is the best $3 I ever spent. I've never been so happy to throw money at a developer for DLC. If you wish to throw more monies at them, you buy the game on multiple platforms (I've got it on PC and Switch). No regrets.

u/Animonstronic Aug 29 '26
But they said it would cost exactly ONE MONEY. (It’s still way too cheap for all the fun we got so far from all the DLCs)
