It’s worth considering if you’re jumping in for the first time I wouldn’t recommend choosing a super busy server. There is a system at play that prevents inactive players from taking up real estate space, but as it’s a new game, everyone on my server was pretty active. I spent a good hour looking for somewhere good to build my base, as by the time I was ready to do so, a whole lot of vampires had already moved into the neighbourhood. There aren’t actually that many wide open spaces in the landscape, and if you’re on a busy server, you’ll likely find all the good spots are taken. This, in fact, was my biggest pain point during the opening hours of the game. Now, if you aren’t playing offline or on a fresh server, this might be quite tricky to find a good spot. The first thing you’ll want to do when you’re set free in the lands of V Rising is build a base. Thankfully, there are plenty of trees around, but getting in a tight spot with enemies during the day means dancing around their attacks while weaving in and out of shady spots. That’s one of V Rising’s most unique and enjoyable mechanics you need to stick to the shadows if you’re roaming around in daylight. That’s right, vampires don’t like sunlight, and stay out in it for more than a few seconds, prepared to start frying. If you know the first thing about vampire lore, you’ll know what I mean. It can take a while to get around in the early game, and, well, if you’re travelling by day, you’re going to want to be EXTREMELY careful. There’s a good reason for visiting them, though, as these are where many of V Rising’s valuable resources can be found. I’ve not explored anywhere near the whole map yet, but so far, there isn’t a tonne of diversity between these areas. The map is full of points of interest, from mines to bandit camps, caves to crypts, small villages, and so on. V Rising’s map is large, split into five different areas. It’s extremely well-paced, which was welcomed as survival games typically suffer from information overload when you first boot them up.īy now, you’ve probably left the cemetery and ventured into the open-world proper. You can do all of the above without anything equipped, but as you’d expect, equipping an axe will make you more proficient at woodcutting, and, interestingly, a mace will make you a more efficient miner.Īll of this is drip fed to you in the first thirty minutes or so of the game via the top-left tutorial. In V Rising, you use your left-click to attack, chop, and mine. Like any survival game, you’ll need to collect resources to build your base and craft new items. With the bones, you’ll create your first weapons and armour, and then you’ll be introduced to a part of the game you’ll become very familiar with woodcutting and mining. Your first task will be to collect bones, and, as you’re already in a cemetery, this won’t prove too difficult. You’ll notice that V Rising gives you clear goals in the top left corner these act as a tutorial and steadily introduce you to the game’s systems and mechanics. The game starts in expected fashion you awaken in a gloomy crypt and head out into the cemetery. Some of the face options are nightmare-fuel, others are hilarious, but if you want to create your very own Dracula, you can do that too. The character creation tool won’t blow you away, but it’s perfectly functional and there’s good enough customization options to make something unique. Once you’ve selected a game type and a server, it’s time to create your vampire. Alas, I’m going to be covering V Rising from a PvE perspective. However, a friend and I did create characters on a PvP server and played for the night, and it was a whole lot of fun. I chose PvE mode for the majority of my time with the game I was playing solo and didn’t want to get ganged up on by other clans. In the PvP modes, anybody who isn’t in your clan is fair game. You can choose PvE mode, where you’ll be able to group with players to suck the realm dry, regular PvP mode, full loot PvP mode, and duo PvP mode. When you boot up V Rising, you’ll be given a few options.
