Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors is a turn-based roguelite deckbuilder and the first ever official spinoff from the Vampire Survivors universe. If you want to know whether you can play it on your phone or tablet right now, here is everything confirmed directly by the developers.

Is Vampire Crawlers on Mobile Right Now?

No, Vampire Crawlers is not available on iOS or Android right now. There is currently no version of the game on the App Store or Google Play. However, poncle has officially confirmed that mobile versions are planned and are still coming in 2026. The game launched on PC and consoles on 21 April 2026, and mobile ports are in development for a later date within the same year. No specific release date has been announced beyond that window.

What Did the Developers Confirm About Mobile?

Poncle addressed mobile directly in their official FAQ. Their exact wording is that “mobile versions are planned for a bit later, but still in 2026.” No specific release date has been given beyond that confirmed window.

The developers also confirmed that Cross Save between platforms is not available at launch, but they are actively working on it specifically in time for the mobile ports. So when the iOS and Android versions do arrive, there is a strong possibility that progress from other platforms will carry across.

Controller support is included on all current platforms at launch. Mobile-specific control optimisations are expected to be part of the work done ahead of the mobile releases.

How Much Does Vampire Crawlers Cost?

The game launched at a price point designed to be accessible across all regions. Poncle confirmed they priced the game based on real purchasing power rather than direct currency conversion, which is why regional pricing differs from a simple exchange rate calculation. Console prices may vary slightly due to platform fees.

RegionPrice
United States$9.99
United Kingdom£9.99
Europe€9.99
Japan¥1,200
India₹499
AustraliaA$14.99
CanadaCDN$14.99
BrazilR$24.99
MexicoMex$99.99
Korea₩13,000

Steam users in CIS, South Asia, Latin America, and MENA regions can access the game at $4.99 via Steam regional pricing. Vampire Crawlers is also available through Xbox Game Pass on day one, meaning Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers can play it at no additional cost on Xbox and PC.

What Is Vampire Crawlers?

Vampire Crawlers takes the snowballing chaos of Vampire Survivors and rebuilds it as a first-person dungeon crawling roguelite deckbuilder, developed by poncle in collaboration with Nosebleed Interactive. Rather than moving around automatically, you play cards to attack, boost stats, and build combos. The core mechanic is the TurboTurn system, where you play cards in ascending mana order and each step multiplies the effect of the next card. Chains can stack up to 10, 20, or even 30 cards deep, creating massive cascading damage.

The game shares characters, enemies, weapons, and zones with Vampire Survivors, but recontextualises all of them within the deckbuilding format. You explore multi-floor dungeons, collect gems to augment cards, chase weapon evolutions, and summon iconic Survivors characters to trigger cascade effects. The estimated playtime is between 20 and 30 hours, with additional time required to unlock everything. Early reception has been generally positive, with reviewers praising the deckbuilding twist on the Vampire Survivors formula.

Is There a Demo?

Yes. A free demo is available on both Steam and Xbox, and poncle has confirmed they plan to keep it available after launch as well. Progress from the Steam demo carries over to the full game, so time spent in the demo is not wasted. The full game expands significantly on the demo with more content, additional mechanics, and fixes made in response to player feedback gathered during the demo period.
