dogbert Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 I'm super late to the party, but Vampire Survivors completely has its hooks on me. It's a ridiculously simple premise, but mechanically SO well implemented. You move around. Your weapons/magic automatically fire on time delays. Enemies come at you. You kill them. You get XP. You buy upgrades + new magic. And it all just works. Seriously has that drive for one more game, earning more permanent upgrades, etc. As you play, you'll unlock new levels, new characters, and there's a bunch of unlock achievements that open up new weapons + gear to boost your runs... It all just works so well. You can play free trial version here on itch.io - https://poncle.itch.io/vampire-survivors It's $3 on Steam. It's free on PC Game Pass. Play this.

Romier S Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 That looks like a blast. Hopefully it hits consoles in the near future, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had an incredibly 28 minute run where I felt like a god for a lot of it. Then the game said "no" 🤪And I just unlocked "Hyper mode" for a level... WOAH..

Orpheus Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Bought it last night. Can safely say I've gotten my $3 worth. Getting garlic buffed and just wading through enemies is hilarious. dogbert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 @dogbertin the same vein but veering more towards Gauntlet, give Battle Axe a try. It’s addictive as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a great run just now - garlic + laurel (shields) was an amazing combination, with some good ranged weapons going on too. And then RIGHt before 30 minutes, it's all big giant robots and some sort of laser weapon that near insta killed me after I'd gone 10+ minutes without taking damage. This game!! I got the Milky Way Map though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orpheus Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Just got the Milky way map as well and went back to the forest to open my first casket. The king bible and garlic is a great combo when they're both evolved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 29 minutes and 56 seconds. The last five minutes basically looked like this, and the game had run out of powerups so just offered me the choice of health or coins. They really don't want you to hit 30 minutes, do they.

Orpheus Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 The Gatti Amari killed me twice on this run. The run before to unlocking the Vandalier. iainl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Nice. I can never decide if The Pigeon Of Death is actually useful, since it’s so hard to aim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not my first choice, but i like that it hits just outside of the range of the garlic and bible. The pentagram is the only one I haven't managed to fully evolve at this point. Hard to level when you nuke all the gems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted June 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 I don't like the Pentagram or Pigeon of Death. Haven't mastered 'em, and like you say, nuking everything without gems dropping is really unfriendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted June 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 This was a CRAZY fun run. No vampire, but a crazy amount of gold. Went minutes without getting any damage until it all went crazy at 28 minutes. Santa Water + Holy Bible + Lightning Ring were FUN, great crowd control.

dogbert Posted July 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Bought the Steam version as it's patched + updated much more frequently than the Windows Store/PC Game Pass version. $3... All my progress carried over, which is awesome. Today's run was just ridiculous fun. Thunderbolts firing everywhere pushing back enemies, King Bible circling, and a crazy Death Spiral weapon just spiraling out everywhere.

rustyjaw Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 I tried this on my phone, LOL what a wild little game this is. Very straightforward concept, well executed, and I can see how it could be very addictive. In many ways it could be described as Robotron + Ultima III.

Angry the Clown Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 I finally fired it up on Xbox this evening. I would not DARE put this on my phone. Good God I'd never put it down. It's ingenious. rustyjaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
