Xmas Survivors

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vampire Survivors, But Santa Hijacked the AUX Cable 🎅🎶🔥 XMAS SURVIVORS starts off with one hell of a kickass soundtrack that immediately makes you forget you were just scrolling Steam for “5 minutes” (lies) 🎧💥. The music goes WAY harder than it has any right to for a Christmas-themed game and instantly sets the tone: festive chaos. If you’ve ever lost track of time playing Vampire Survivors and suddenly looked at the clock like “how is it 3AM?” 😭 congratulations, this game is right up your alley. Same addictive loop gameplay, but now everything is wrapped in Christmas lights, snow, and Christmas flair 🎄❄️. The sound effects are weirdly satisfying 🔊👌. Every hit actually feels good enemies don’t just disappear, they get absolutely erased. The feedback from weapons is so nice that you’ll catch yourself nodding along like, “yeah… that hit was clean.” Gameplay wise, the quality is surprisingly solid when compared to Vampire Survivors 🎮💪. Nothing feels janky, nothing feels cheap, and you’re never fighting the controls only the rapidly increasing swarm of festive nightmares coming for your life 😵‍💫🎁. Visually, it’s not trying to win art awards, but it doesn’t nee…

Game had a SURPRISING amount of content for its price and i was very pleased with the vampire survivors mechanics in the game. Having played megabonk, i will say the portals and end stage bosses were missed, but regardless a actual good time. :) 7.5/10

Good.

Gameplay should be familiar to anyone who has ever played a “survivor” game. The goal is to move your character around while letting the auto-attack take care of everything that comes near. By collecting gems dropped by enemies, you fill up an experience bar that eventually leads to a level-up and perks. Since you’re Santa, there are no additional characters to unlock; the only choice is the starting weapon, and you’ll have to buy the rest after the default pistol. Progress across the four maps is standard, meaning you go through them in order by surviving the required number of minutes. When you grab enough gems, you get to pick one perk from a random selection of three offers. These affect basic stats such as pickup range, critical damage, attack speed, and so on. However, you also have to pay attention to their rarity class, which might entice you to pick something even when it’s not a perk you would usually choose. While normal perks only raise a stat by one level, mythical boosts increase it by five levels. An offer can also include an additional weapon. However, you can only pick two, so you might want to skip something that doesn’t work very well. I recommend focusing on …

Great and fun survival! Hopefully it will get the recognition it deserves.

This is a fun, little, festive, Vampire Survivors-style video game. The pixel art is good, the game plays well and it provides a decent amount of challenge. The only real issues that I found with the game are that the background music is a little quiet and you do need a bit of patience with the game as the character movement does feel very slow to begin with. But the more you play and the more powerups you get the pace soon picks up. The game does not take long to complete and is pretty fun.
