ShaQu

half the game is in chinese the other half in english. beat it first try with no progression beyond upgrades that only make the game easier. there may be achievements tied to earning these but this isnt worth it when you have to play a progressively easier game that doesnt change each time you play. 1 stage. 1 set of enemies. 1 boss. if the difficulty were tuned up so you had almost no chance of winning your first however many games until you got enough upgrades then that artificial length boost would be enough to warrant it existing. in its curent form its not complete enough to play more than a single time past beating it.

"ShaQu" is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Vampire Survivors (Copyright Poncle, 2021). Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done.

"ShaQu" is considerably worse than Vampire Survivors. Despite being supposedly in English, most of this isn't, and what there is that's in English makes me wonder if it's possible that Google Translate had a stroke. As a result you can't really tell what's going on, not that there's any reason to. See, Vampire Survivor succeeded because, well, there's a lot of enemies and characters and upgrades to choose from that kept the game fresh, despite the terrible graphics. Here? Just a couple of abilities and upgrades and monsters, not much at all. This comes across as something unambitious and "simple" in terms of implementation and te…
