Hollow Survivors

No updates since august 2025. Abandoned?

The art is great, but that's about it. The gameplay itself doesn't feel exciting. The fighting isn't fluid, and the moves are all the same. Hitboxes on bosses are confusing. The skills you pick are generic and either do a stat buff or some simple trigger effect. The camp follows the Hades idea where you have to invest in stat improvements, which in practice is just artificial friction for progression. I played the demo back when it was released and hoped the full release would be more interesting. But it's not, unfortunately. I forced myself to play for a bit more than an hour, but it didn't grow on me at all.

The following passage is machine-translated with the original Chinese text attached. 下面是机翻后面有中文原文 The overall experience is terrible, the shooting feel is extremely weird, and weapons can only be judged by the on-panel stats. Many small mechanics have to be explored by players themselves. There are a lot of useless cards in the upgrade gacha pool, such as the Curse series (completely useless without the card that increases damage to cursed enemies). The most frustrating thing is the drop system—sometimes you fight an entire run and get no health orbs at all, while other times a single stage drops four or five. What’s more, rare materials only drop from the latest bosses, which does nothing but unnecessarily lengthen the game time. The worst part is that I once got lucky with a few legendary buffs and pushed all the way to floor 24, but I usually only make it to around floor 17. This means I can’t even get keys and other crucial materials now. 总体体验感很差，打击手感非常奇怪，武器只能看键面板数据很多小机制必须由玩家自己探索。升级卡池里由很多废物卡比如诅咒系列的（再没有对被诅咒敌人造成伤害增加这张卡的情况下纯废物）。最让人无语的是掉落规则有时候一整把打怪一个血包都不爆有时候一个小关爆四五个，然后是稀有材料的获取必须打最新的boss才会爆这除了过分拉长游戏时间没任何帮助，最恶心的是我有一次运气很好随机到几个传奇强化直接推到了24层但是我常规情况小只能打到17层左右导致我现在根本无法获取钥匙等关键材料

Low grade. Deserves poor sales. Repetitive and boring enemies. Bad controls. Character should not move forward when attacking and get damaged. Forces a jerky twitchy unintuitive gameplay. Has potential but poor execution. Random boss rewards makes unlocks a sad chore.

Hades-like

Its peak.
