How to unlock Vampire Survivors characters?
There are multiple characters you can play in Vampire Survivors. Each has a different starting weapon and a unique passive. You start with Antonio, who is by no means bad, but falls short compared to many unlockable characters. If you want to unlock the rest of the playable characters, you will need to get a lot of gold first. Most of the characters require you to buy them with the gold you find throughout the game, and as you get better you'll be able to get plenty of commissions. In addition to needing gold, some characters have an unlock condition that you must meet before they can even be purchased at the character select screen. So make sure you do this before you try to buy it.
