Best Vampire Survivors Mods to Play with In-Game

We can make it weirder.

Vampire Survivors is already a pretty off-the-wall game despite its relative simplicity. Monsters coming at you from all angles, twenty kinds of projectiles flying out of you at any given moment; it’s a wild experience, to be sure.

However, through the magic of modding, we have the power to make it even wilder (or less wild, in some cases). Here are some of the best Vampire Survivors mods to play with in-game.

Top Vampire Survivors Mods

Vampire Survivors mods are generally installed as modifiers on existing save data files. Keep in mind that either installing or removing mods could cause save data loss, so you should always make a backup of your files (savefile.sav) before you go messing with them.

With that established, we recommend the following three mods for Vampire Survivors:

Multipurpose QoL

As more people play games, accessibility becomes a more important concern for ensuring everyone can have a good time. Given its simple nature, Vampire Survivors is a fairly accessible game as it is, but it can always be better.

The Multipurpose QoL mod by korcc introduces a variety of quality-of-life options you can toggle in the game’s settings. This includes things like color-coded guides, chest auto-skip, max arcanas ticker, starting arcanas amount ticker, tickers for weapons and items, and an instant restart button.

No Particles

In a similar vein to Multipurpose QoL, the No Particles mod by OwynTyler is meant to make Vampire Survivors a bit more accessible. Even at the best of times, this game is absolutely flooded with particle effects, which can be both hard on low-end PCs and disorienting for certain individuals. This mod makes all particles transparent, severely decluttering the screen and making the game easier to run.

Free Evolutions

Vampire Survivors’ weapon evolution system can be a bit abstract, not to mention luck-based and time-consuming. If you’re having trouble finding the right items to form an evolution, the Free Evolutions mod by OwynTyler will make your life easier. With this mod, you no longer need to find a specific passive to evolve a weapon; you just need to level the weapon up enough times, and it’ll evolve on its own.

There is a lot of hidden depth to Vampire Survivors to uncover, but if you somehow manage to reach the absolute depths of it all, mods can add some extra flavor to the game. Keep on surviving and opening chests forever!

Extended Power-Up Levels

The Extended Power-Up Levels mod by DankRafft brings power-ups with as many as 6 levels for a better late-game progression. In the same manner that the game already has for higher-level power-ups, these new ones will also be more and more expensive as you upgrade them. The Omni, Skip, Banish, and Reroll power-ups are skipped in this one. Only those giving you more stats and income are included.

Pokemon Survivors

Yeah, you guessed it. Pokemon Survivors mod by Vectrometer brings you favorite Pokemon as main characters that fight the forces of evil. There are 6 Pokemon in total, and not all of them are immediately available. Some of them need to be unlocked, just like the original Vampire Survivor characters.

The developer has put the readme file for hits to those who don’t wish to look for ways to unlock new content or are simply stuck.

Madoka Mod for Vampire Survivors

This mod is a simple graphical rework for all fans of the anime drama Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Madoka Mod for Vampire Survivors by ryvrdrgn14 replaces characters and items in the game (such as arcanas and spell attacks) to resemble those from the TV show. No game mechanics or code are changed with this mod.

Bootman’s BS pack

Bootman’s BS pack mod by DerrekCole is kind of a meme pack as it brings some comic characters into the game. You can kill the forces of evil with Peter Griffin, Freddy, or Amogus, among other characters. It currently has 12 new characters that are, as the developer says, not really balanced, and more are expected to arrive in the future. This mod isn’t made to add a significant update or a challenge to the game. It’s just a fun mod!
