Army of Ruin

For what the game is, and its genre it works pretty well. The graphics are a bit on the mobile app side of things, but pretty solid; and the mob designs work. It would be nice if the soundtrack was a bit better since this type of game is about zoning out and finding the best path while the machine goes brrr. it doesn't break any barriers or offer anything new, but it knows what it is and delivers well.

Its not a bad game by any means. It just falls into the "another vampire survivor clone" category for me. It does everything good, but nothing really unique about the game. ...But I already 100% Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, Death Must Die, Yet Another Zombie Survivors, and several others... So I went on to 100% this game too.

A much more approachable bullet heaven game that keeps things visually clear and mechanically simple, perhaps to a fault. There's a lengthy, mostly horizontal progression system that keeps you occupied with various challenges, as well as a big roster of unlockable characters, weapons and other trinkets to work towards, but your fifth game will play about the same as your 50th. Overall, a decent genre entry for new players, but apart from the visuals, there's very little to make it stand out in the endless sea of bullet heaven clones. 6.1/10

Decent amount of content presented extremely slowly. The features come on reasonably quickly, but the individual weapon / trinket / character / etc unlocks are very samey. There are five maps, with difficulties taking 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes, and the challenges are mostly "complete map with x item", which involves putting your build together in the first five minutes and then waiting for the map to be done. There is a hyper mode, but it's approximately 1.5x speed at the fastest, instead of the 10x I'd want. It also makes you get a weapon to level 5 and then complete the level before you get to evolve it, which seems like a pointless barrier. Until you unlock Favorites, it can be difficult to get the build you want. After you unlock them, you gravitate to doing the same thing almost all the time. Some challenges -- no damage, no moving, no chests, late finish -- require a more interesting and fun build, but most are just "favourite the item(s) you need and the items you like the most, complete the level".

7/10 for this survivors like. A lot of fun to be had with this survivors like but there are so many. The whole time was enjoyable and i had a blast but I don't know if is has any better hook than the other 1000 survivors likes. If you are checking reviews to buy it i would suggest you buy it if you will play right away.

Well made, well thought out. I like the progress, it is simple but hard to master. You stay challenged. This is a very good time killer, run around and zap stuff.
