I haven’t played much Vampire Survivor, but I know that moving around, dodging enemies, and running around are key elements of the game. So it’s a bit odd that the surprise hit’s latest secret character, just added in its latest beta update, is a fruit tree that doesn’t move. But don’t be fooled: this tree is frighteningly good at killing shit.
The likes Castlevania-like retro-inspired shoot ’em up, Vampire SurvivorHas received a beta update on Steam. Anyone can sign up for the game’s public beta branch to get a taste of upcoming features and changes such as: the latest update of the hit indie game, 0.7.3. This update adds new weapons, arcanas and some characters.
One of these new playable survivors is… *checks notes* er… a tree. It’s not just any tree, it’s a magical one bear some nice looking fruit.
The real name of the tree is Peppino and like trees in real life, it doesn’t move. However, unlike trees in real life (at least in my neck of the woods), Peppino is able to use spells, abilities, and items to repel waves of enemies. It also has the ability to suck in nearby gems as they fall. So this all means that the tree in the center of the map stays stationary, surrounded by a large, circular aura that will kill most things if they get too close.
Before you can play as this secret new tree, you must unlock it. To do this, you must first “Use Celestial Dusting to heal the plants in Il Molise for a total of 100,000 HP”. If you don’t know what that means or how to do it – hello! – don’t worry as people are already uploading online easy to follow tutorials to guide you through the process. It looks like it’s a dog. Interesting!
