Vinebound: Tangled Together

No one seems to be talking about how little content there is in this game. There are only 3 levels, which you can beat in an hour or two. If you're good at these kinds of games you could probably beat it in about 1.5hrs... Also, I unlocked all of the cards already, which surprised me. After a few hours more I have all the best cards upgraded. Not much to do after you beat the game other than play the same 3 levels more with arbitrarily faster more damaging enemies.. The quality of what is here is top notch, better than the competition. But until there is more content I can't give a good review.

Single co-op vampire survivor game. Perfect if you are on the verge of divorce!

Vinebound: Tangled Together is such a cute, complete, and energetic twist on the horde-survival genre. I played mostly in local co-op with my partner, and maneuvering around the map with the tether mechanic is a wildly fun, synergistic challenge. You actually have to verbally communicate to survive the chaos! I also played a bit of solo mode, and it was honestly so much more relaxing because I didn't have to worry about dragging my partner around on the other end of the vine! The game runs buttery smooth, the art style is absolutely adorable, and it isn't overly complex—it just knows exactly what it wants to be. Upgrading your weapons feels super satisfying, though we definitely found ourselves repeatedly choosing our favorites and completely ignoring a few of the duds. My only tiny gripe is the upgrade descriptions - I kinda wish the game showed actual percentages for stat increases and "apply chances" so we knew exactly how much we were juicing up our builds. But aside from that little nitpick, it’s an incredibly fun, polished gem. Highly recommend as a light, weekend play!

I am very satisfied with how solo play was implemented in Vinebound. The art and music are cute, and being tied together is a unique mechanic that made positioning challenging and strategic. The difficulty curve between zones was well balanced, and I enjoyed learning what passives to prioritize every run to deal with certain foes. If Co-op is chaotic, then solo is serene. If either sounds good to you, try out Vinebound.

I liked it a lot

I played this game with my husband and it’s one of our favorite co-op games we’ve ever played!!
