Developer Poncle has announced Vampire Crawlers, a brand new spin-off game from its smash hit "bullet heaven" action game, Vampire Survivors.

Vampire Crawlers is based within the same universe as the main game, but it's viewed from a different perspective and a different genre altogether, as you can see in the debut trailer:

The game is a roguelike deck-builder/dungeon crawler, played from a first-person perspective.

You explore maps, and use a growing deck of abilities to combat enemies and grow ever stronger.

It looks as though the chaotic nature of Vampire Survivors is very much alive and well in Crawlers, with item synergies and other powerful systems allowing you to become totally overpowered and fill the screen with nonsense.

As big fans of Vampire Survivors, we reckon this looks great, and it's cool to see Poncle trying something a little different for its next game. It's due for release on PS5 next year, and there's a bit more info on Xbox Wire.
