Letifer

Very entertaining and challenging twin stick/auto shooter (you can play it as either!). Nice upgrade trees and trinkets for Letifer and I like the drone partners upgrade paths as well.

I'd say check out Letifer if you have a 'Vampire-Survivors-like' itch, but want a more condensed version of that. One character (Letifer), you max out the metaprogression in 7-8 hours and beat the final boss at around the same time, and you have a very simple story to give context to everything and conclusion after beating the final boss. It feels a bit more like an actiony arcade game with Survivors-like metaprogression. It's a very small-budget title, so I don't have many critiques that are realistic for its scope, but one thing is that I would liked to have seen all the characters in the hub have new dialogue after I defeated the final boss; only one NPC commented on it. Letifer's a perfectly fine game to just scratch that itch for a 'Survivors-like' game without sinking dozens of hours. It's not a long game, but that's reflected in its low asking price, especially on sale.

Fun, but very short game. I managed to knock out all the achievements in under 8 hours and I'm by no means what you'd call a hard core gamer. Also be aware that the Explosive Bolt upgrade for the Cross Bow is bugged; there's a rune during progression that halves your weapon's magazine, and I found out the hard way that that skill will take the single shot of the Explosive Bolt down to 0 shots, meaning you're unable to fire your weapon at all. Even if you collect the +2 magazine rune after that, you still can't use your weapon for the rest of the run. Had this happen to me on the final boss, so I got to unintentionally see the bad ending. There's also not much variety to the progression system, once you play a few runs and get a feel for the epic runes you can collect, it becomes pretty obvious that there's only one real meta build. Once I figured that out, I breezed through the rest of the game. Overall I'd still recommend it if you enjoy twin stick shooters or Survivorslike games, as it can be played with either configuration.

I enjoyed myself. It's pretty decent!

This game is just terrible. One of, if not the worst, vampire survivor clones I have ever played. Wow, what a slow, awful, tracking projectile nightmare. Where did all these positive reviews come from?

Excellent
