What is V Rising?

Dive into the darkly enchanting realm of V Rising, where you embody a vampire fighting for survival in a perilous world teeming with threats. As you navigate this treacherous landscape, you'll not only strive to construct your imposing castle but also amass a formidable army of loyal servants, crafting the foundations of your vampire empire.

The game unfolds its meticulously designed universe in a visually stunning isometric display, immersing you in a 3rd person perspective that unveils your character, adversaries, and the atmospheric surroundings. In the quest for strength, your vampire must quench their thirst with the crimson elixir of lifeblood. Yet, navigating this intricate dance of power demands more than just a sip, as you must deftly sidestep the deadly touch of sunlight and evade the relentless onslaught of humans and monsters eager to extinguish your immortal existence.

Your Story

A V Rising server game dramatically changes the story. The majority of adventure games place you in a world where you must battle against all the monsters as a human, however this time, you are the monster! The game starts with you waking up weak and with all your resources long since depleted and forgotten after years of sleep.

To replenish your vitality, you must seek blood, but keep in mind that holy warriors are constantly out to get you and that sunshine will reduce you to ashes. Although you are the monster in this game, during these initial playthroughs it makes you feel like the helpless victim.

The Gameplay

After that initial beginning, struggling to survive as a weekend vampire, you must gradually build your strength by feeding on blood, exploring the lands to gather resources and discovering new skills to rebuild your castle that will become home to your empire.
The castle allows you to store loot, and is where you can assemble your army of vampires you turn along the way. This is where your style comes in too, with everything completely customizable, so you can create the vampire castle that matches your vampire’s playstyle too.

This level of customization truly personalizes your character, fostering a deep sense of investment and enhancing the overall engagement with the game. From shaping the aesthetics of your castle to defining your character's appearance and combat style, every facet is under your control. Even the approach you take in navigating the game world is entirely at your discretion.

Decide whether to join a V Rising Server, collaborating with other players to construct a vast empire, or opt for a more solitary path, seizing power without the need for collaboration. The freedom of choice is consistently in your hands, making each decision a pivotal moment that shapes the trajectory of your vampiric journey.

Taking the fight to the world

When playing on a V Rising server or a solo game, combat is through precise WASD controls and cursor-based aiming. No click to move with this game, it's all about your skills on the keyboard. Whether it’s a perfectly aimed unholy spell or dodging an attack, the outcome is all you, every time.

That makes it fast-paced, exciting and a lot of fun when you finally take down some of the bigger enemies. It’s a real sense of achievement that point-and-click magic games never really give you.

Build your vampire

But perhaps the best bit about the combat is the flexibility. As you explore the world you will find new skills, spells and weapons along the way. You can combine these to create endless new ways to fight, and it is this flexibility that brings the game to life.


Whatever fighting style you prefer, you can build your vampire to your liking. This wide variety of vampires makes playing on a V Rising server so much fun. You may be playing with or against other player vampires, but they won’t look or fight anything like your character.

Take on monsters, conquer villages and drink blood to grow stronger, building a vampire that fits how you want to play, so it really is your character.

Playing on a V Rising Server

While the game has so much to offer in single-player mode (and is a great way to learn the game and explore the options you have for fighting styles) the game comes alive when you add other players on a V Rising server.

Once you join or host a multiplayer V Rising server, you will never look back. Whether joining with others or taking on everyone in a battle to the death, the game has a whole new dimension. With such a variety in how a vampire can play and look, characters shine through and the challenge is always there. After all, vampires can be your ally today, but your greatest enemy tomorrow.

For those seeking to establish their own V Rising multiplayer server, you've found the ideal platform. Scalacube has recently incorporated V Rising into its array of supported server-hosting games. Begin your multiplayer server venture with us.
