Vampire Survivors’ Legacy of the Moonspell expansion adds a ton of new features

New stage, new music, new Survivors, new weapons and new monsters come to Vampire Survivors on PC and Xbox, thanks to the Legacy of the Moonspell expansion. 

We couldn’t have imagined how good Vampire Survivors was going to be when it hit Xbox just a few short weeks back, but it fast became one of our favourite games of 2022. The Legacy of the Moonspell expansion looks to build on that, bringing forth a ton of new features. 

Available today on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC through Steam, Legacy of the Moonspell takes what was great about the original base game and throws in a number of new features and ideas. 

That base game is superb too, and as our full review of Vampire Survivors on Xbox states, it’s a game which has a super addicitve gameplay loop, loads of content to unlock and fun in spades. In fact, the 5/5 we gave it accounts for very little in negativity. 

It’s the first update for Vampire Survivors and whisks us off to eastern lands, just as a clan has fallen. It’s here where we find that The Moonspell, once vigilant guardians of a sorcerous valley nestled in the mountains, have been overrun by hordes of yokai and oni. Though treacherous, this hive of spectral activity may provide some clue as to the location of a vampire. If not, at least it’ll be entertaining to defeat thousands of wayward spirits in the process. 

Legacy of Moonspell adds in a that new stage along with additional characters, more monsters and some wicked weapons, all alongside some over hidden secrets and mysteries. And that there is a lot of content for a game that only originally costs a few quid. Legacy of the Moonspell itself is even cheaper, coming in at $1.99, throwing out all of the following in return…

• Eight new characters! Including:
  • Miang Moonspell – The last disciple of the Moonspell Clan before its downfall, and possibly its finest. Self-consciously a shounen protagonist. 
  • Menya Moonspell – One of the few surviving Moonspell elders, Menya’s mystical powers are near god-like. 
  • Syuuto Moonspell – Banished practitioner of the new moon dark magic, Syuuto is nonetheless an enemy of evil. Poor personal hygiene may contribute to his continued exile.  
  • Babi-Onna – Returned from the dead to seek vengeance on demons and mortals alike, she nonetheless retains her impeccable ability to charm, amuse, and dazzle. 
• A brand new stage
  • Mt.Moonspell – Our biggest stage yet, a sprawling map featuring several different environments, all with their own challenges and resident monsters!
  • This one stage includes an abandoned castle, snow covered mountain, and a yokai infested village, and more besides.
• 13 new weapons, including:
  • Silver Wind – An ancestral force unleashed by the staff of the Moonspell Clan, only those born under the moon can fully wield its power (or whoever finds it in a chest, we’re not sure). 
  • Four Seasons – A set of orbs which unleash the power of the changing seasons, of death and rebirth.
  • Summon Night – A weapon which drips with the darkness of the new moon. Despite the clan’s superstitions, even the shadows can oppose evil. 
  • Mirage Robe – An enchanted kimono, weaved on a loom from the silk of the earth spider, and imbued with a fragment of Babi-Onna’s vengeful spirit. Besides, it looks fabulous darling.

You’ll find the Legacy of Moonspell content rolling out to Xbox and PC (via Steam) today. The base game of Vampire Survivors is on the Xbox Store too.
