Highly addictive. Just one more run.... Super fun, great pixel artwork and animation. An absolute bargain at $5. I really want this game for my Nintendo Switch 2 and hope the developer is still planning a release.2 found this helpful
Fun little co-op vampire survivors game.1 found this helpful
Fun little game. I wish there were more content its an hour long. Still I have played what's there about 4 times now so its a great start.
Really hard little game, i like the colorful take on the genre. The progress feels a liile bit unsatisfying at the beggining. Then comes a cascade of progression, sometimes feels like the devs constraint a lot of that just to keep you hooked. Overall fun game.
I really wanted to like it, but the camera control is absolutely terrible for this type of game.
To be crystal clear: this is not a bad game but it's not without its flaws. I know some people didn't think it was anything to write home about and it's easy to reach that conclusion. In the beginning, your initial weapon choice, upgrades and damage you do early on are all really underwhelming. Feels like you're not going anywhere fast. But where I disagree is I found destroying wave after wave of enemies pretty satisfying once you got over the initial slog of lasting a few minutes and dying unceremoniously. The only reason I persisted with it in the first place is I've been going through some tough things and I was simply looking for something I can turn my brain off to and just enjoy without having to worry about puzzles or strategy and this fit the bill. I played it for 5-6 hours initially, didn't finish and thought I would come back to it eventually and I'm glad I did. Because in the end, it is fun when you're running out of time, the enemies are difficult, there's lot of them, you're strong and it's a real balance of attacking and avoiding. Even if the game does auto-attack for you.
