poncle, the developer of Vampire Survivors, has released a demo for its upcoming turn-based card-driven first-person dungeon crawler Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors. 

Vampire Crawlers is in development for release this year on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, PC (Steam), iOS, and Android. The free demo is now available on Steam and Xbox. You can find the latest Vampire Crawlers trailer, screenshots, and more information from poncle below:

The Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors demo is out now on Xbox and as part of Steam Next Fest 2026! Brought to you by the beautiful, twisted minds behind Vampire Survivors, VampireCrawlers is a turbo turn-based, card‑driven BLOBBER (that’s shorthand for first-person dungeon-crawling chaos) with rogue-lite elements, and you can play it now on Xbox and as part of Steam Next Fest.

Vampire Crawlers has something for everyone, from card game newcomers to the most diehard number-go-up gameplay aficionados. It will welcome players back to the dark dungeons of Vampire Survivors, but from a brand-new perspective – and will welcome back some of the powerful (and ridiculous) items from Vampire Survivors as playable cards to build your dungeon-crawling deck. 

With the release of the Vampire Crawlers demo, poncle is also setting a unique challenge for its player base. Players are invited not only to just enjoy Vampire Crawlers – they’re also being asked to break it. That’s right, poncle want demo participants to submit their most unhinged clips for review; the more ridiculous, the better! We’re not joking, poncle actually want people to submit their funniest bugs and gameplay moments as part of the initiative - go on, it will be fun. It doesn’t matter if it’s screen-breaking combos, nonsensical builds, or even just your King Bible just does something weird - they want to see it. 

The most broken moments of demo destruction will feature as part of “Lets Break Vampire Crawlers”, a video series spotlighting the Vampire Crawlers community and their… unorthodox approaches to deck building. For those who’d like their chance to be featured, head over to their community Discord, where you’ll be able to submit your gameplay.
