Further Still: Survivors

Unfortunately abandoned.

Abandoned game

I'll be honest: that artstyle, that name, that title art, even the font used. Everything made me think this would be a low effort Vampire Survivors clone that does nothing other than adding a +1 to the waves of bullet heaven titles on Steam. As I keep playing this, I realize this pretty far from the truth. While the presentation is nothing special, it has this endearing 8-bit JRPG vibe to it, with the game hub featuring characters you can sort of interact with to gamble money, buy armor and weapons (as opposed to the more classic permanent upgrade of stats), hire new fighters, and most importantly pet a cute doggo. And then there's the combat, which again isn't anything too remakrable on a technical level and somewhat slow with scattered enemies hard to crowd control, but the variety of weapons, the active and passive skills, the varied loot and more give a solid variety. The various levels themselves have traps appear randomly, weather effects and more that can drastically alter a fight's outcome. While hardly the most mechanically satisfying bullet heaven out there, it still offers a take unique enough to worth a try for hardcore fans of the genre like me. Bullet Heaven Fandom r…

Among all the "survivors"-games I've played this is one of the better ones. It's got good progession and a variety of classes/characters to play as, each with their own active abilities. If you like games like "Vampire Survivors", "Nomad Survival", "Holocure" and the like; then there's a good chance you like this game as well!

Game has NOT been abandoned. Dev went radio silent for quite a while but came back with a pretty big update... that broke my save file 🙃. Still it's a good game and worth playing.

Pretty good stuff, more relaxing than VS.
