Check out music from Vampire Survivors upcoming Contra DLC (UPDATE)

Vampire Survivors continues to expand through all different kinds of DLC, and the next collab is drawing near. Vampire Survivors dev Poncle previously announced that the game is getting Contra collaboration DLC come May 9th, 2024, and today brings us a sample of one of the new music tracks.

The VS version of: Battle in the Jungle was composed and arranged by Filippo Vicarelli. The tune was originally composed by Hidenori Maezawa and rearranged in Contra 4 by Jake Kaufman. Filippo Vicarelli takes us back to where it all began with this reimagined version of Contra 4’s arrangement from the classic Jungle stage theme (only heard when the game is set to hard mode). Positively exploding with riffs, “Battle in the Jungle” has more 80s action energy than Arnold Schwarzenegger locking hands with Carl Weathers.

The President’s cousin’s sister’s dog has been kidnapped by Red Falcon. Are you bad enough to come to the rescue? Vampire Survivors: Operation Guns embraces the visceral simplicity of classic Contra, with build-focused Characters that encourage min-maxing and stat manipulation, a tonne of weapons (we’re talking 20 including evolutions!), and a difficulty curve that combines quintessentially arcade-hard gameplay with the original Vampire Survivors formula.

Vampire Survivors is a time survival game with minimalistic gameplay and roguelite elements. Hell is empty, the devils are here, and there’s no place to run or hide. All you can do is survive as long as you can until death inevitably puts an end to your struggles. Gather gold in each run to buy upgrades and help the next survivor.
