Adding a lot to the game for only $2, it's hard to argue that Legacy of the Moonspell isn't great value. I just don't know if anything added is very fun.

The new level is pretty cool at first as it's an actual real level with areas and buildings to explore with enemies that spawn in different biomes. But a map with hard edges you have to navigate is sort of counter-intuitive to the very nature of Vampire Survivors where there are so many bullets and enemies on screen at once you can't see what's going on. The new map ended up being straight-up not fun as I kept running into trees or walls I couldn't see. The new weapons also mostly suck. I tried them all out for challenges and then sealed most of them away for good.

+ Great value

- Most of the new content isn't very good

100% of achievements unlocked. A great expansion to the most addictive game of 2022, Legacy of the Moonspell adds 8 new characters, 13 new weapons and most notably an expansive new stage to the Vampire Survivors experience. Despite the impressive level of variety of weapons in the base game, the majority of the additions here feel meaningfully different and their new effects are definitely fun to use, if perhaps leaning towards being more powerful than the original set. Arguably that's no bad thing, though, as the new stage, Mount Moonspell, ranks next to Cappella Magna as the most challenging in the game - but it's particularly notable with how it's mapped with clearly distinct regions, requiring exploration and navigation rarely seen in the base game.

For the once again very low price, Legacy of the Moonspell is an essential addition for anyone who enjoyed the original experience. However, for anyone still making their way through the base game content, I'd recommend making your way through the majority of that first before coming here.

For those seeking a slight harder VS experience following the base game I think this is fine as the new characters have some really nasty stats and gimmicks. None of the new features really end up elevating the same though. The more detailed map with unique enemy spawns is basically meaningless as item can still be summoned to spawn using mad forest and the unique enemy spawns are pointless as there is still a set enemy spawn order so Kappas just spawn as cannon fodder around hundreds of more powerful enemies, while the cave enemies spawn at a way too frequent rate which bugs out collision.

Vampire Survivors genel olarak eğlenceli, basit ve akıcı bir oyundu. Böyle bir oyunun ek paket nasıldır ki acaba diye düşündüm. Oyunun ana bölümlerini ve yan bölümlerini halledince ek paket kısımlarına baktım. Ek paket kısımlarına girince öyle bir şok oldum ki bu ek paket ana oyundan çok çok daha iyi ve keyifliydi. Legacy of the Moonspell içerik olarak yeni eklediği karakterler oyunun akıcı temposunu katlayarak daha keyifli bir deneyim sunuyor. Özellikle yeni eklenen eşyalar karakterin güçlenmekten daha ilerisine götürüyor diyebilirim. Yeni eklediği bölümler, karakterler ve canavarlar Japon kültürüyle mitolojisinden fazlasıyla esinlenerek hazırlanmış. Bence indirim dönemi oyunu alırken ana oyun ve ek paketin olduğu paketi almanızı tavsiye ederim. Son bir not bu ek paket sayesinde deli gibi güçlenen karakterlerin attığı saldırılar yüzünden iyice midem bulantısı geçirmeme sebep oldu. Siz dikkat edin karakterin güçlenme dozunu fazla kaçırmayın.

Как первое платное (копеечное) DLC — неплохо. Новая карта хоть и не очень подходить игре, но всё равно отлично сделана, а новое испытание заставит пострадать, особенно если брать героев с вертикальной атакой. А вот новое оружие мне не понравилось, почти всё нужно полностью вкачивать для хоть какой-то пользы, использовать как основное крайне трудно. Часть новых персонажей имеют крутые уникальные механики, с ними даже использование оружий полностью меняется, жаль только не всем такое добавили. Посмотрим что же нам подготовят в следующем DLC

Considering the base game only reached 1.0 a mere two months ago, I have to wonder what the impetus is for releasing this so soon thereafter for how little content it actually offers. No new systems, one new stage, eight characters, thirteen new items. The same issues intrinsic to Vampire Survivors remain, that of artificial variety and the illusion of substantive choice. Without some new mechanic at play, this functions identical to a mod pack, clearly pushed out as rapidly as it was to cash in on the hype train surrounding Vampire Survivors' nomination at The Game Awards 2022.

I suppose without microtransactions baked into the game, these similarly-priced nothing expansions will be their substitute. Cue the hoards saying "but it's so cheap" as if that makes it any different from the same thing being packaged in an in-game store rather than as a Steam DLC.

Okay, real review time.

This is a small DLC but I quite liked the additional elements it added. They're quirky and novel and add some variety to the game without making any of the existing weapons irrelevant. The Babi-Onna character and her mirage robe were particularly entertaining with her weaponized flash frames.

The new map is an interesting new direction for the game in that it's a fully defined area and not just an endless chain of templates. I would love to see more content like this in the future, though the Arcana that pulls map items to you should probably be disabled until you actually pick up the new items, or new items should be excluded from its effect. That way you can't cheese around some of the zone specific obstacles that are featured.

The Japanese mythology theme is also a fun change of pace and the sprites are quite fun. Overall: I recommend this if you enjoyed the base game.

(hmm.... now I wanna find a CRT filter for the game....)
