Just four months after it was announced, Vampire Crawlers, the Vampire Survivors-spinoff card game described by PC Gamer's Wes Fenlon as "Wolverine for your social calendar," has a release date. Developer Poncle announced today that the new high-speed time sink will go live on April 21, and will carry a price tag of $10.
First things first: What exactly does "Wolverine for your social calendar" even mean? That it's a real danger to your free time, basically. Wes teed up Vampire Crawlers' Next Fest demo in February, intending to take it for a "brief spin," and ended up blowing two solid hours on it.
"Sure, it looks a bit frivolous. And in terms of head-scratching strategy, Vampire Crawlers does still seem to fall on the light end of the deckbuilder spectrum," he wrote of his experience, "But just like Vampire Survivors, I suspect that's what will make it so dangerous. Just one more run, right? How long could it take?"

Vampire Crawlers will be available for PC on Steam on April 21, and if you're curious but not convinced, the demo is still available so you can get a taste before you fully commit. It's also coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch on the same day—April 21, remember—and will follow on mobile devices later in the year.
