Vampire Crawlers is a deckbuilder roguelite, turning the thrill of Survivors into a turn-based, card-driven game where players can explore familiar dungeons from a new perspective. The game is developed and published by Poncle Limited, and will be released on PC and Xbox Series X|S; other platform releases may be announced later, but these two platforms have been officially confirmed as of writing.
Poncle also created Vampire Survivors, a title that was almost entirely created by a single person: Luca Galante. Vampire Survivors’ success led the studio to expand and establish a publishing arm, Poncle Presents. Survivors earned the BAFTA Game Awards for Best Game (2023), Game Design (2023), and Evolving Game (2025).
