Vampire Survivors, the hit indie game where you get to embody bullet hell, recently received a major 1.0 patch that adds a new stage, new modes, and Twitch integration.

If you’ve already unlocked all relics from version 0.11, you’ll automatically get the Achievement The Eudaimonia Machine and the new stage.

The two new modes are Inverse and Endless. Inverse flips the stages’ layouts upside down, gives bonus health and speed to enemies, but also gives you extra gold, luck bonus, and additional merchant items. Endless is a mode where enemies will resurrect and gain 100% health at the ending of a stage, creating a “cycle.” After every cycle, enemies will deal more damage and their spawn rate will also increase. To unlock the Inverse mode, you’ll need to obtain Gracia’s Mirror. To unlock the Endless mode, you’ll need the Seventh Trumpet.

There’s also a couple tweaked achievements that fix current unlocks. Completing any 30 minute stage with Gallo or Divano unlocks the Bracelet, discovering every standard union and evolution unlocks Candybox, and evolving the Bracelet and Bi-Bracelet unlocks 500 gold. Mindbender also unlocks at 50 collection items instead of 100.

The new Twitch mode is an interactive setup where viewers in the chat can control certain options–like whether to reroll or banish and what special events happen.
