Certainly an interesting game. I didn't know what to expect, but I didn't expect Cookie Clicker meets Roguelike as the genre crossover. It's also interesting, at least to me, that this is the second popular indie game released this year that is built on the premise of a game that essentially plays itself while leaning heavily on the dopamine rush of unlocking endless upgrades. Yet, somehow I find Vampire Survivors in all its stripped-down simplicity the more compelling of the two.

Would I put it in my top ten of the year? No, or at least not yet. I'll play some more but I do think that while I recognize this game as interesting in both concept and in its success, I don't think it's hooked me with its addictive loop the way it has hooked so many others this year.

I just found out that bullet hell roguelike is probably exactly what I've been looking for for years. Slashing hordes of monsters with nice aoe spells is just so satisfying. Also perfect for listening to audiobooks. The genre seems to be exploding rn and you can definitely count me in here!

It's a well crafted dopamine Skinner box. That's not a bad thing, I'm just upset I can tell.

I'm not sure how to spend my time these days.

I was able to hold off picking up the new unlocks for the last few months, but since I got my Steam Deck, it felt silly to wait for v1.0 before playing again. The Steam Deck has been great for everything from WoW to PS5 remote games, but every time I open up Vampire Survivors the Deck fulfills its true purpose.

And now I'll try to stop myself from endless gold farming and meme runs.

I never thought I was into bullet hell games but here we are. I suppose it might be more accurate to say it is a horde mode game on steroids.

At one point the entire screen was covered in enemies with no safe spaces. The only thing that was keeping me alive was an upgraded clock lancet, periodically freezing groups of enemies allowing me to walk over them without getting hurt. I just had to keep running from frozen patch to frozen patch to avoid getting slaughtered. What a blast.

  • Stray
  • Elden Ring
  • No Man's Sky

This game really grows on you. I just started playing it and I didn't like it at all, but it does get a lot better if you decide to keep going. Fun times

I tried to stop myself from getting all the secret characters but with the latest update I gave in and unlocked everything. The difficulty curve for the final achievements and secrets hits just right for me.

Great beta

Can't wait for the full release. Simple and addictive. I like these cookie clicker type of games, something I can play while I watch something on the side.

Very much just Crimsonland ripoff with Vampire theme. Ugly and rather boring. Its main appeal is that it's cheap.

This is fun and absolutely worth its cheap price. The core gameplay focused on positioning, item collection, some very simple loadout building, and a bit of risk-reward strategizing is solid. It's a limited package, with not much keeping me playing it after a few hours, but I see it as a nice proof of concept to build into something great …
