why is this game classified as survival genre ?

Pretty much the title
seems to me like an Action RPG with base building ?

"Survival" is pretty wide-reaching. Seems like anything where you explore, gather resources, and build is survival.

[Xero]

Like all survival games, you start off with absolutely nothing. Risen from your coffin with the whole world of Vardoran against you. Even fearing the sunlight. You gather, steal, hunt, kill and craft to gain higher technologies and advance your player higher up the food chain till your on top. The ultimate vampire where you're the only one to be feared.

It would be nice to have some real survival mechanics like starting a fire and equipping clothes to keep warm, but you're a vampire who is technically dead anyway. Your blood does drain so you have to hunt and feed.

Resting in a coffin pauses your blood drain until the rest ends. Consumables timers, however, are not paused.

Yes this is foremost an action game and steam tags are not made by devs, they are made by random plebs.
But it's still fair to call this a survival as it has some survival elements, even if the focus is on different things.

the most important things in survival game is u die when u doing nothing.. pretty much the same in this game u died if u don't have any more blood to drink

Its classified survival in the same way helldivers 2 is considered "pay to win" while the game meets criteria for survival its not nearly as survival intensive as others in the genre.

it is considered survival cause you build base and have to get a resource to survive - blood.
Do not think it has more survival elements than that.

How an action RPG? It is a bullet hell game. (If you play on brutal.)

You go down to 1 HP but you don't die, stop lying, patzer.

This isn't something a half way decent player would know, so it's not a lie.

I beat this game on brutal and enjoyed it a ton. The requirements for a game being considered survival is quite basic

Hostile environment: The game is set in a dangerous, open world
Limited resources: Players start with minimal equipment and must find resources to survive
Resource management: Players must manage resources to survive, such as hunger, thirst, disease, and mental state
Fending off threats: Players must navigate through the environment and fight off threats to survive.

Seems to me V rising meets all of these requirements.

hes not a lair, just likes to spew unverified, untested and unresearched things as fact but no intent to deceive ... in some situations that can be much worse then lying.

And this is a video game, so this is not that type of situations. Calm down bruv.
besides, at 1 hitpoint you're basically dead. Certainly shouidn't try to fight a mob for blood.

Dead and 1 hp is a world of difference, while dead you are dead with 1 hp you are alive. Eat a rat, it's great in situations like that.

thanks for agreeing with me.

After playing this game on brutal, I'd classify it as a space shooter
