Vampire Survivors Character Unlocks Guide
In Vampire Survivors players start a match by first selecting a character. At the present moment there are a total of 40 characters players can choose from. Before having access to all characters in the game you first need to unlock them all. To help you do this put together the Vampire Survivors character unlocks guide below.
How to Unlock Every Character in Vampire Survivors
