The core loop of Vampire Crawlers might feel quite repetitive, but you can add a twist or two with the help of the Relics. These are essentially modifiers that have unique effects. Some of these effects can be extremely overpowered, and you can choose to keep them on or turn them off. But before doing so, you'll need to unlock the Relics. This guide will help you figure out how to do so. How to get all the Relics in Vampire Crawlers You can get every Relic by simply playing the game. They're unlocked when you reach specific stages. The following table has all the information you will require for getting the Relics.

The huge success of Marvel Rivals' first PvE mode, Marvel Zombies, means the co-op gameplay is not going anywhere any time soon. And thank Khonshu for that. NetEase Games' new spin on co-op PvE is called Blood Hunt, and it's coming this week. And you know what? It looks even better than Zombies because it's adding vampires along with new boss fights with characters like Werewolf Captain America, Ratatoskr, Dracula, and even Wilson Fisk AKA Kingpin. Screenshot by Destructoid Playable heroes in the mode include The Punisher, Squirrel Girl, Thor, Moon Knight, Jeff the Land Shark, and Blade, all with a swath of four slots to equip gear in that customize your builds with different effects. This looks like an extension of the round-to-round power-ups available in Marvel Zombies. But most importantly, holy crap, the enemy density looks so satisfying. Marvel Zombies did a good job with that, combining a huge number of enemies with different abilities that enabled someone like Blade to chain attacks endlessly while draining HP in such satisfying ways that NetEase was forced to keep the mode around longer than originally planned due to how popular it became. It just feels so good to mow down hordes of enemies. Blood Hunt is leaning into the enemy density with large amounts of both vampires (and bats) and zombies, ******* damage numbers popping up all over the screen, and new boss fights with some iconic villains. You can check it out in the trailer below, but basically, it looks like an even better PvE mode than the game had before, and potentially way deeper, too. This time, it seems to even be leaning into playable lore, too. With Kingpin being teased as the final boss, the mayor of New York seems prepared to exert his will on the heroes to go along with this season's storyline in Manhattan. [Hidden Content] Either way, I'm stoked to give this mode a try. I played Marvel Zombies quite a bit, so if this is an improvement on that, I may be back on Rivals full-time, or at least until this mode gets taken offline after it begins on April 23.

Nomion Games is the brainchild of former Battlestate Games duo Dmitri Ogorodnikov and ******* Terekhov. Having left the Escape From Tarkov studio for pastures new, the pair bring with them a wealth of experience, and have certainly felt the changing tides within the industry over the years. A key belief pillar for Nomion is, according to Ogorodnikov, that "creative potential, accumulated experience, and ambition should not be put on hold." As the integration of AI into videogame development continues to be a hot topic, usually for the wrong reasons, it was only prudent that I quizzed the devs behind upcoming shooter Rush is Real as to how, if at all, AI would be utilized in their maiden project.
