Release date: Apr 28, 2025 Categories: Open-World Survival, Castle Construction, Interior Design, Player Housing, Cosmetic Customization, Vampire Theme, PvE, Multiplayer Feature scans: - MTX: score 15; verdict: Fair / Optional Cosmetic DLC; summary: The reviewed feedback centers on optional cosmetic DLC and voluntary developer support. Reviewers repeatedly state that the game has no microtransactions and that paid content is cosmetic, while one review calls a small cosmetic pack overpriced. There is no evidence of pay-to-win, real-money gacha, loot boxes, paid convenience, currency obfuscation, or aggressive FOMO. - Hardware Profile: No data Feature extractions: - Community Price: - Community fair range: $0.00 - Reasoning: The provided reviews discuss only cosmetic DLC and a Founders Pack, which is characteristic of a free-to-play base game. No review mentions paying for the base game itself; the sentiment focuses on optional pack pricing and supporting the developers. Therefore, the community's fair base-game price is effectively $0, as players expect free access to the base game and only consider paying for add-on content. - Playtime Metrics: - Game completion: N/A - Story completion: N/A - Session length: N/A - Endgame: N/A - Reasoning: The target DLC is cosmetic, and the reviews do not report a time to finish the game or its story. The comment that the game has no main quest or story supports leaving gameCompletion and storyCompletion null. The '100+ hours' mention refers to additional open-ended playtime with an update, not a defined completion, story, single-session, or endgame duration. The other hour mentions are vague total-playtime expressions without a measurable metric, so all playtime fields are null. - Time-to-fun: No data - Player Archetypes: - Gothic Castle Decorator (buy) - Motivation: Creating a dramatic gothic castle and expressing personal style through base decoration. - Playstyle: Builds and decorates PVE castles with horror and gothic themes, prioritizing aesthetic options over competitive play. - Experience: familiar - Purchase stance: buy - Labels: decorators; vampires - Reference games: Castlevania - DLC Value Comparator (buy) - Motivation: Finding the strongest DLC value and choosing the best pack among competing V Rising add-ons. - Playstyle: Tracks and compares DLC releases, evaluates content against earlier packs, and gives purchase-order advice to other players. - Experience: familiar - Purchase stance: buy - Labels: N/A - Reference games: Castlevania - Supportive DLC Patron (sale) - Motivation: Supporting the developer and rewarding a game that has already provided long-term enjoyment. - Playstyle: Buys cosmetic DLC mainly as a show of support, while remaining critical of content depth and value. - Experience: veteran - Purchase stance: sale - Labels: N/A - Reference games: N/A Below are summaries of things people say about the game per category.

Common complaints: - Legacy Saves Break DLC (weight 0.58): Players cannot continue existing saves with the DLC and must start a new game from zero to access new content.

This limitation makes the pack feel lacking in quality. - Stair Replacement Difficult (weight 0.16): Stairs of different materials cannot be replaced directly; they must be dismantled and rebuilt.

This limits building customization. - Building Shape Inconsistencies (weight 0.06): Buildings look weird with round bases but sharp tops and balconies. This inconsistency bothers some players. - New Content Yearly (weight 0.06): New content is released only once a year, which feels too infrequent for some players. They want more frequent updates. - Official Server Wipes Deterrent (weight 0.06): 3-month wipes for official servers deter friends from playing the official version. This is a barrier to entry for some groups. - Shapeshift Forms Limited (weight 0.06): Players would have liked more shapeshift forms in this DLC. The current selection is limited. - Snake Boss Disliked (weight 0.06): The new snake boss is considered trash by some players. It is a negative point in the DLC. - Blood Servant Grinding Unsatisfying (weight 0.06): Weapon blood servant grinding is not satisfying. This gameplay aspect needs improvement. - Bath Non-Functional (weight 0.06): You cannot bathe in the bath, only enjoy the atmosphere. This is a missed opportunity for immersion.

A customized server named Sangria Falls is mentioned. - Servant and minion mechanics (weight 0.19): Blood servants can be placed in coffins and have a blood quality system with up to 100% quality. Minions and weapon grinding for servants are also noted. - Mixed survival and building genres (weight 0.16): The game is described as a mix of survival, open world, and base building with a vampiric twist. It features a fully open-ended design without a main quest. - Decorative bath and structures (weight 0.14): A bath is included but is purely decorative and cannot be used for bathing. Stairs made of different materials and golden cages are also mentioned. - Game progression and save system (weight 0.11): The game features progression up to level 82 and a save system.
