V Rising: Legacy of Castlevania Edition - Available NOW on PS5! wehy.pe/y/12/Rhykker

V Rising is actually amazing. This game should be huge, I will be sad if it's not super successful because I want MORE.

This game is criminally under rated

I absolutely LOVE this game. The vampire theme, the art style, how fun and varied combat is, the huge variety of bosses and how great and rewarding the overall progression feels... i could go on and on. I've finished 2 full Brutal playthroughs with two seperate friends which took roughly 60-70 hours each with us goofing around and getting our asses kicked by various bosses. And that was just the incredible time i had with the ARPG part. All i've been doing the last 3 weeks is building and refining my dream castle on a private server which allows the maximum set of tiles and height limit. I haven't been this hooked to a game in a long time. I've recently cracked the 400 hour mark (all done since 1.0) so i might have a slight vampire addiction problem...

I'm so happy you're trying out V Rising. This game is really well done. I'm enjoying my time with it. And by time I mean, I have over 300 hours in it!!

V Rising is my favorite game of the last 20 years.

I really like how the world feels LIVED IN. Most ARPGs feel like it's just tons of "empty" monster filled wastelands. As the enemies in this game are people, they have settlements, towns, and even a big city! Fantastic!!

1.0 is definatly worth a go. Been playing solo pve and having a blast.

I am glad you found the time to enjoy V Rising. :)

Imo vrising is one of the most shockingly amazing games to come out of nowhere in years. The beauty and polish of the game cannot be understated. The lighting effect are gorgeous and everything about the game is just such a delight. I also LOVE that the way the progression system is designed that you never feel like you need to grind for drops. Thats such a nice departure from the way every other game these days wants to you grind the same content over and over. Vrising has 54 bosses, all of which are unique encounters, most quite challenging. Even if you only ever play the game solo, it represents a TON of play experience. Personally I'm at 243h played according to steam. (Note I first got the game right when early access launched, I haven't played 240 hours since the game officially launched) ;) My only complaint about the game is A) no crafting from storage, and B) the Dracula encounter is a pretty huge jump in difficulty so if the rest of the game felt "appropriate" to your level of skill designed to slowly get harder as you become better, the end feels really frustrating because suddenly you hit this massive wall.

This game is incredibly underrated. I've been playing it since early access came out, it's been great through & through. Deserves a lot of love, may not be a AAA title but sure is better than a lot of them.

I *love* it. Been playing since early access in 2022. I played this instead of D4 S4. Using Wolf form and or a mount makes day travel much easier. Drink those sunlight resistance potions. Gear gets progressively more in-depth as you make your way through the acts. Like adding jewels to augment skills, even jewels come in 3 levels. You can move your Castle including servants. Oh, *don’t ignore servants* .They will defend your castle in PvP (+ golems) and can be used to send out to get those needed materials.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet but I wanted to say I appreciate the rounded shape of your green screen overlay. You look like you're part of the HUD lol - must be the Rhykker In-lay Mod.

Also as a reminder there is a blood moon phase…it will basically let you have a longer night cycle and I think you get a damage buff. I’m fairly new so don’t quote me on that just yet

Hey Rhykker thank you a lot for showing us this game a couple years ago. I was instantly hooked and played it like 30 hours in ea but had to stop because of other game releases and stuff. Now that its released my friend and I have a blast playing that shit. We were so impressed how much they added in this game its insane. So again thank you a lot for this.

I just started the game. Enjoying it so far and kept wondering how to build a roof lol. Glad to know I just had to make the walls enclosed. But yeah the brief 30 mins I got with it has been fun. Can't wait to dive into it.

I've been playing this game since Early Access and I've had a blast with it with each major patch. Definitely fun to play with friends or solo, but once you get a handle on it and clear your first playthrough in PvE, the game really shines in high-stakes PvP servers on fresh restarts. It's a blast to try to run in on a new server and claim a base and progress as quickly as possible to make sure you can build near optimal resource locations and hold your own in PvP. Definitely a rush!

This is my game of the year. Love this game at every level. The game deserves recognition this year.

I love the UI upgrade. Played the early access quite a lot, but this is much better. Multiple floors is new too, which I like. And you could build a base almost everywhere, not only at some specific places.

Can you play on PC with a controller?

I’m looking forward to play it this week

Is there a story or it’s just survive and finish Dracula?

Can anyone tell me what is the combat like? Is that not really a focus, is it more like Valheim buy with a top down view? What else is there beyond the typical survival stuff? I might pick this up for PS5 tomorrow

Did they fix the combat controls on controller?

Can you zoom in to make it more of a 3rd person view (e.g dragons dogma) style camera. I hate the top down diablo style games and would like to bring it more horizontal.

it's been on my wishlist for a while now, really need to grab it

I've been in pre-release for a long while, and the progress they have made is excellent. I especially like the ability to easily tailor a custom game if you want to make it either more punishing or less. The pvp is made kinda crazy when castles are part of the game as well.

I've been wanting to buy this game for a long time and I'm wondering. Can you do some more material about this game?

I love this game every time they release a new big patch/release. Me and the wife buy a server and beat the game again. We enjoy it a lot. Watch them bosses just because your gear it at level don’t mean he won’t **** you up.

me and one friend played all the way through to the dracula fight when it released recently. i had a ton of fun as a fan of the isometric hack n slash, and i also love survival games. this game is quite fun

This game is amazing. Been playing it for years now. I hope they keep updating it for future play throughs!

I bought it right before the official release on PC, waiting for season 4 on Diablo 4 to start. I thought it was really good, but had a few issues. The biggest issue was the controls. The second issue was how much progression was locked behind certain bosses you had to kill. Without killing them, you were stuck, and there was nothing else you could do about it. But I really liked the caste building and the whole concept was interesting. I may go back to it once the D4 seasons get old for me.

Respec is free. The only cost would be the material for the building that allows that. But once you have it you can reset any school with just a button. I love this game and I've enjoyed the public server so much after over 100 hours of solo play (pve)!

It's quite good and quite difficult in some fights, finding 100% blood quality is RARE, so finding one with 100% blood quality is quite rare and there's a couple to a few achievements involving that too. It's an unique style of gameplay that's never thought of working but it does work. Just be careful, not all bosses will be a cakewalk, sometimes using a different weapon and playstyle works because there are some bosses that CAN counter what build you do have. So sometimes you have to change around your playstyle to kinda counter the boss while the boss is countering your playstyle.

Love this game. Played beta and now 1.0 (for PC). It keeps getting better. Feed your castle heart!

Thanks for this I'm definitely buying of the back of your video

Already completed it on normal difficulty, pretty good!

I played this game long ago and it felt like some weird survival crafting thing. Is that not what it is now?

Will play it someday. Perhaps when its on sale

Have you noticed is there is any difference in difficulty between PS5 and PC version? For example, you seem to deal a lot of damage to the boss at 4:40, so just want to confirm if bosses are not weaker on PS5.

I'm going to have to check this out, been seeing very positive reviews on Steam... Hoping to dive into this in the fall! 🤓🤓🤓🤓

6:21 Nice.

Anybody know is this works on deck?

pretty fun once you get started

The game is amazing, do you have a clan for this game?

One of the most skilled games ever. Give the dojo server a try, weapon swapping is huge

That game looks good, I was thinking on building a castle in minecraft, dragon quest builders 2 (even looked at lego Harry Potter sets)... maybe that is the game I'm missing. I wonder if you can make the Count from sesame street "haha, one stone!"

I've owned this game since 2022 and have not played it since. Mainly I was waiting for full release but still regularly think about it and will play it one day. Love the premise. Feels like a Fall kind of game rather than something I'd play in the summer.

the only problem i have with v rising is that when a new server starts everyone progresses though it in a few weeks and the server dies down again. So at the next server start you have to do it all over again. Also if you dont want to be raided all the time you cant really build a good looking castle in pvp, you have play the castle building meta otherwise you lose your stuff all the time.

Here he goes again with those DM style video titles 😂

I really hope they do crossplay between console and pc for this

As someone who has put 80 hours into it so far and 99% solo /offline I absolutely love it

I got his game the day it came out in EA played it all then came back for gloomrot and I am back playing it again for the 1.0 release. I love this game, the combat is so good and the way they mix in the survival elements are just awesome.

The only thing missing in V Rising is the ability to take your servants out as followers/fighters.

I really want to love this game, but the way ranged abilities work on the controller is so difficult to get the hang of. Game really needs auto targeting with the right stick moving the camera (maybe hold L2 to manually aim)

I'm seriously in love with this game. I was skeptical of the combat being cooldown focused, but in practice it works really well. Been playing on brutal difficulty and every boss feels like an event! It's really making me wonder if I'll ever go back to D4 at this point. Oh, and go look up castle tours. People are making some bonkers stuff.

Its gameplay and coop is so good it doesnt even need a story or lore. Well it has minimal of both but it as a great man once said... "Just Works"

I've almost exclusively played this game solo; and I will say first and foremost. It's absolutely fantastic. A tip I have however as this game is DEFINITELY built around having a group farming basic materials like stone, wood, Hides, etc. as a solo can be extremely monotonous. With the new Server Settings I just cranked up resource collection to 1.5x to help with that and it felt perfect. I have played once in a group on a PvP server and while the combat and PvP itself was TONS of fun. I do really dislike the base raid mechanics a le RUST for reference but that's a small gripe and they now have official No Raid PvP servers. A must check out for ARPG/Survival fans!

Rhykker this game tops diablo 4 cannot deny it. Ive put 48 hours in it since its ps5 release and im on gear lvl 66 from the help of my clan mate. Its incredible, pvp server brutal difficulty. Best vampire fantasy arpg ever.

These devs should have made D4. It's so polished and aesthetically pleasing.

We need v rising to become like vampire the masquerade with different clans and different types of vampires and for vampire Cain to turn up in an update

The best "survival game" that i've played hands down. Survival games weak sides are usually the combat, but V rising really shines in this department.

The update to let it work on the PS5 also let it work on the steamdeck, and it's pretty damn good. excellent game, on PC (keyboard/mouse) or Steamdeck/PS5 (controller).

I watched you play this the other day and I bought the base game and love it. Will be buying the DLC today for Father's Day. LOL. Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there.

This looks interesting!

I have this on PC, but want this on the PS5 too. Probably a waste of money, but seems like the perfect couch game.

Is there ps5 and pc crossplay?

This game is a blast, works well on handheld

V Rising is 9/10, and the 10/10 is hard to nail down. Something to real get the late late game going. That said, it is easily worth money, I grabbing some of the DLCs as well as I want to support the dev. Nails so many things and a lot of content whether solo or group.

This game just needs a real endgame and it would be 10/10

I love this game!

Bought on PS5, thought it would be a nice addition and maybe put 20 hours into it. Yeah now 30hrs in and kind of addicted to this game, enjoying every minute and in my opinion its a sleeper hit and should be GOTY nominee.

One of the best game out there

I played about 60h solo pve. I tweaked my server settings to make it more confortable for ressources grind. And yet i still found it too grindy. The power scaling tied to the level of your gear didn't felt good, especially with a combat system that seems to require player skill. But it doesn't ! Not as much as I thought at least. Nevertheless, this game is doing a lot of things right in this genre, like the easy way to move your fournitures and stuff at will. And the more you progress, the more cool things you unlock. Keeping you engage and having stuff to do. But I guess I didn't enjoy as much as i thought because It's clearly made to be played multiplayer pvp. In that regard, I can see the appeal ! I'm still glad I supported them since early access. It's a great game, just not for me. I need to go back to Valheim or Enshrouded ^^

Just purchased it. It’s difficult but very fun

The shadows aren’t moving the sun is

Just bought this game. Killed a bear 10 levels higher. Excited to see how much complexity this game has

Love this game. Favorite game in a long time

This game is amazing but very time consuming if you want to succeed, pve mode is very forgiving tho

V Rising is a hidden gem . GOATED game

Played this a year ago, maybe a bit more. It was a nice game, but after a while it was just sooooo repetitive!!!!! Did that change now in 1.0?

I'm not sure how to feel about this...

My brother has been playing this and likes it more than the Diablos, which he started playing at the dawn of its first days. He clearly has great taste in games and was the one who into’d me to D3, which naturally led me to 2 and 4. I have his original discs, so if I get time I’d like to play the first one…long story short, our shared love of the games is one of our greatest bonds…it’s not weird…stop judging me…unfortunately, I’m a lowly little X-boxer, so the jealousy and FOMO is REAL when it comes to V Rising…Damnit…I think I just talked myself into buying a PS…for one game 🙄.

Peeled my eyes on this gem a year ago but wouldn´t buy ANOTHER Alpha or Beta. Two days ago I scrolled through the Playstation store and saw that V Rising finally hit 1.0, It was a instabuy for me. What should I say, I called in Sick and playing non stop, did I even sleep? Dunno.

love this game. and it dose play better with a controller I am playing on PC almost end game . still getting killed at time but I love it . and some people are crazy with the designed of castles out there

I have 150 hours in since it was in beta. love the game

i played it a few, thing is i suck at boss fights and you can not progress without killing bosses, unlike valheim, if am stuck at a boss fight, i can keep geting my skills better until eventually i can take on such boss, no such a thing in v rising. disapointing

i like how you transfering slow on console 😀

There's a few games where I am just at a complete loss as to why people enjoy them and V Rising is one of them. Not saying it's a bad game at all, clearly I am in a minority here considering it's very popular, but I just think it's so rough.

my favorite part was the day-0 paid dlc that should've been in the base game.

I have'nt touched this since aug 2022, it was very lack luster then, hoping its better now

It isn't a bad game. I have played it on and off for a while now since it was in early access. I wouldn't spend the money to get it on PS5 though.

How in the hell do you have 1000 hp at gear level 40?

Cross is the way to go but I'm not too fussed coz all my friends play thru steam

Game would be awesome if you didn't have to do a ton of stuff before being able to build a castle.

Please replace "..." with a fitting word, Mr Hatman

Hands down the best game in over 10 years that i have played. I have 215 hours played and i haven't encountered a single glitch or bug within the game. That is quite impressive in my opinion. 9.8 / 10 game for me. For people who like a proper and real boss challenge, i really encourage them to play on Brutal Difficulty. I have Nothing bad to say about this game really, the only thing negative i experienced after beating the game and completing every single achievement on Brutal difficulty was that it was over and that there wasn't anymore for me to do! If that ain't a hallmark of a great game i dunno what is!

Gosh i keep thinking every time i see this how freaking awesome it would be to see Blood Omen Legacy of Kain Remaster, oh my Retro soul i would die a happy man knowing my life would be complete, especially with the genius ability to toggle Classic OG graphics with Remastered graphics like Diablo 2 resurrected, gosh i also keep thinking on the OG Diablo with toggle graphics, holy secret cow level that'll be so cool

It's fun to build a huge castle, and just hunt the weak. Occasionally wear some lower gear to allow me more enjoyment hunting lower level enemies for fun.

I finally kill Dracula last night, and Rhykker posts a a vid. 👌🏼
