    Playing as Antonio in Vampire Survivors.

    As of writing, there are over 37 playable characters in Vampire Survivors. You start out with one, and three others are unlocked by default. However, you must still purchase the three unlocked characters to make them playable.

    The same goes for the rest of the characters in Vampire Survivors. The price of the characters will increase by 10% each time you purchase a new one.

    To unlock the rest of the 33 characters, though, you’ll need to meet specific requirements.

    Start a run in the Mad Forest and pick up Skull O'Maniac and Pummarola. You'll need to remove them from the run by either getting them to their max level or discarding them after picking them up as stage items.

    After which, pies will start popping up from the ground, creating a trail that leads to the northwest area of the stage.

    Follow it and you'll be faced with a shadow enemy. Defeat this enemy to unlock Boon Marrabbio.

    Start a run in the same stage with a character that has zero eggs, and collect Peachone and Ebony Wings.

You'll find the pickup here that lets you breathe fire in the direction you're facing, next to a gate that blocks off a balcony.

    Upon picking it up, the gate will disappear. Go over to the balcony and you can pick up Cosmo, unlocking the character.
