Vampire Survivors is a game of many layers, which helped it stay popular. At first, it seemed like a straightforward roguelike game, but players quickly noticed that it had brilliant mechanics and many secrets to discover. This makes it a perfect modding platform. Here are some of the most popular mods to make it even more enjoyable!
The best mods for Vampire Survivors
1. Level Up Stat Growth
The Level Up Stat Growth completely reimagines how characters level up in Vampire Survivors. Instead of picking one new attribute or an attack, players get the following values:
- +20% curse per character level
- +1.5% move speed
- +5% magnet
The developer who made this mod, OwynTyler, allowed the players to modify these stats themselves. It is great if you have some coding knowledge and want to customize your game further.
2. Scarlett Devil Survivors
The Fearsome BloodMoon and Dracula Horde, also known as the Scarlet Devil Survivors, is a mod that replaces Giovanna, Dommario, and Krochi with Yuugi, Patchouli, and Marisa from the Touhou Project. The developer also plans to add more characters, like Tenshi over Porta and Reimu over Antonio. It's a very interesting mod for the fans of this anime, so be sure to take it for a spin if you're a fan!
3. Pokémon Survivors
Rapid-wave, non-turn-based battles would be so much better if we had a Salamance who can blast Hyper Beam at zombie hoards… and now you can with the Pokémon Survivors mod. With now over 40 Pokémon to choose from (and more being added every update), this mod lets you beat up some zombies with your favorite monster companions. It even comes with Pokémusic! Vectrometer has also included a stream-friendly version that doesn’t include the OSTs.

4. Custom Content Bundle Pack
The Custom Content Bundle Pack is literally just that: a mod that adds a ton of custom content to the game. Deathshift has the following included:
- Two new maps
- Two new achievements
- Four SFXs
- Eight background songs
- 12 Items
- 75 Characters (such as Goku and Sonic the Hedgehog)
Everything included are unique additions, and not reskins. The characters, for example, have their own movesets. It’s a great mod that adds a lot to the table.
5. Eggs Bulk Buy
The Eggs Bulk Buy is a rather simple but useful mod that lets you buy golden eggs in bulk in user-specified quantities. It's a basic but effective mod when you want to save time buying multiple eggs from the trader. We highly recommend it, especially if you want to focus solely on battles.
6. The Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane
To naturally unlock The Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane in the game, you would typically have to defeat Sketamari in the Bone Zone map. The Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane mod allows you to bypass this requirement altogether, instantly granting you access to the Secrets menu in the game. Once you're feeling more confident in your skills, you can remove or turn it off to challenge Sketamari.
7. No Particles
Defeating multiple enemies at a time can feel good, but sometimes the visuals can be too much. The No Particles mod removes a part of that clutter, making most particles transparent. It can even improve performance for lower-end PCs.

8. Castlevania Survivors
Castlevania Survivors is one of the most all-encompassing mods for Vampire Survivors. To run it, you must first install VS Mod Loader for the game. It features characters from the anime, such as:
- Trevor
- Sypha
- Alucard
- Alubat
The mod's developer, QKekos, was very thorough in making this mod, going so far as to create an in-game menu background of Dracula's Castle. It's a very extensive mod, and it's guaranteed to give you hours of fun, especially if you're a Castlevania fan.
9. Extended Power Up Levels
As its name implies, Extended Power Up Levels increases the maximum level of most Power Ups in the game to six. It mods all Power Ups EXCEPT:
- Banish
- Reroll
- Omni
- Skip
It also includes adjusted translations for all supported languages in the game. The creator just advises that you back up your saves and reset your Power Ups before using the mod. This way, it functions properly.
10. NG Plus
If Vampire Survivors’ base content isn’t enough for you, this NG Plus mod will let you play the game forever. You get endless challenges, with increasingly stronger enemies on every map (including bosses). The mod also adds a couple of QoL improvements, namely shorter treasure chest delays and minor changes in game mechanics and UI.
There's more to the Vampire Survivors than initially meets the eye, and mods can only add to the experience. Just be sure that you back up your files before you attempt to modify your version of the game.
