Just like there are a whole host of unlockable characters, items, and relics in Vampire Survivors, there are also quite a few stages that players can uncover and explore in this awesome roguelite game. Each of these stages have their own modifiers, as well as special properties, wherein players can explore and unlock even more elements simply by playing the game. 

There’s a lot of stages to find in this game, which is exactly what we want to do in this Vampire Survivors stages guide. 

Let’s begin!

A Note on Game Modes

Not to be confused with stage modifiers, the different modes available in Vampire Survivors change fundamental aspects of the stages in question and can greatly alter your standard progression and exploration. And while stage modifiers are always present regardless of the game mode, the latter must be unlocked before being able to access them. 

With that being said, there are four game modes in Vampire Survivors, all of which can be toggled on or off in the stage selection screen. Keep in mind that you can activate more than one of these at any given moment, as long as you’re up to the task, that is. 

The four modes in Vampire Survivors include the following:

• Hyper Mode: In this mode, everything is faster, including both your character and the enemies, as well as the projectiles that you can shoot from your weapons. Moreover, players will receive extra gold from pickups when playing in this mode. The exact value increases for all affected variables will vary from stage to stage, and we’ll explain them in further detail when we get into the list itself.

• Hurry Mode: This mode is all about shortening matches, as the clock speed of the stage is doubled throughout the entire run. In other words, when you play for 15 minutes in this game mode, it’d be like if you had played for 30 minutes on a normal stage. As such, all events associated with the timer such as wave spawns and boss spawns, among others, will happen in half the time as usual.

• Inverse Mode: In this game mode, the stage is literally flipped upside down, at least when it comes to the layout. This causes some visual changes, though the gameplay is mostly the same, except for the fact that this mode also comes with many stat changes. More specifically, when activating Inverse Mode, the player gains 200% more gold and receives a 20% luck bonus. On the flipside, enemies begin with 200% max HP, and gain an additional 5% max HP and 0.5% MoveSpeed every minute, which goes on top of stage-specific modifiers. Finally, the merchant in this mode also sells banishes, skips, rerolls, and an additional Arcana.

• Endless Mode: While stages are typically considered “finished” when the player manages to survive for at least 30 minutes, which in turn will spawn the Reaper enemies every minute after that point, stages played in Endless Mode instead revert back to 0 after reaching the 30-minute mark. In this sense, the Reaper won’t spawn, and instead all enemies gain an 100% HP boost, an extra 50% spawn rate, and a 25% damage boost. Moreover, with every cycle, the player’s max damage cap is reduced by 1 point. Lastly, the merchant respawns after completing every cycle and sells a revival instead of the usual Golden Eggs.

Mixing and matching these special modifiers can make for some fun and intense challenge runs. However, they can also be used to customize your experience, such as by making matches much shorter, for those moments when you don’t have much time to spare, or if you simply don’t like the longer survival runs.

Normal Stages

These are the stages that are present in the base game and that you’ll probably unlock simply by playing and surviving, which is in contrast with the bonus stages that require fulfilling certain conditions in order to unlock them. Keep in mind that some stages have additional modifiers on top of the ones conferred by choosing any of the different game modes mentioned above, which we’ll also mention on this list.
