Games Like Vampire Survivors: 12 Survivors-likes Worth Playing
Updated · Prices, ratings and review counts from the US Steam store on Oct 22, 2026
Best picks: Brotato for six-weapon builds and couch co-op, HoloCure if you want it free, Halls of Torment for a dark underworld setting, Megabonk for 3D movement, and Temtem: Swarm for online co-op. All 12 are on Steam for PC, and every one costs $14.99 or less at list price.
How we chose (editorial): horde-survival games where your attacks fire automatically, on Steam, with at least ~2,500 user reviews and a "Very Positive" score or better. One exception, Temtem: Swarm (Mostly Positive), is included because it has online co-op. Order: Steam score, then number of reviews. The "what's different" lines summarize each store page; the "pick it if" lines are our judgment.

Why these games feel like Vampire Survivors
Vampire Survivors (poncle) left early access and released fully in late 2022, won the BAFTA Games Awards for Best Game and Game Design, and is considered one of the first "bullet heaven" games: you only move, weapons fire on their own, and runs last around 15–30 minutes. Steam now has an official Bullet Heaven tag for the genre. Want something for your phone? See games like Vampire Survivors on mobile.
