  I'm hesitant to give the thumbs up, but it is fun. My hesitancy comes from game crashing multiple times around the 25 min mark. I'll give them slack since it just released and they haven't had an oppertunity to fix bugs yet. I'd like to see fixes and a lot more content added in the future. Like Vampire Survivors, but you can hold a lot more abilities and passives. Currently much less content though.

  THIS GAME ISN'T VAMPIRE SURVIVORS AND IS REALLY GOOD! It is still in Early Access, but don't let that deter you. There's a LOT to love here. Lets get right to the point. This game is NOT a Vampire Survivors clone. They are the same genre of game, but the dev has gone far out of their way to make sure that they play vastly different. The foundation of this game is incredibly solid and leaves a tremendous amount of room for content to come in the near future. The gameplay is fun and fast paced, while still challenging and leaving a massive variety of choices for you to make. Heritage options change each run based on however you feel like playing the game. None of the weapon or even passive choices feel like a wasted point when you acquire them. It all just comes together very nicely and I'm looking forward to seeing what the dev has in mind soon. To go over some pros: - Weapon Skills are an awesome take on making characters unique. Each character starts with their own skill that does not take up any weapon slot or anything like that. It is an innate ability unique to them (THAT CAN BE UPGRADED!) - Speaking of weapon slots, there is no limit to the amount of weapons or passives you can pick up in one run. You can focus on a few or expand into all of them. - Heritages are an awesome concept that can take any of the characters and twist them into a whole new playstyle, or change how you'd view weapons you pick up as a whole. - The soundtrack is absolutely bumpin. - Each active skill gets upgrades at levels 5 and 10, and not just more damage, but functionality boosts. Having your skills change and evolve throughout a run is so much more satisfying than just seeing bigger number. - The chests also do this, they will augment random abilities to have new effects, not just level them up! - There are options to change game speed to +50% and +100% - The bosses that spawn are actually challenges with their own small mechanics! They're not advanced, but having something in the game that you actually need to think about at all when you fight it is such a change of pace compared to other attempts at this genre. Overall, this game feels like it went around, took notes on what people loved and what they didn't, and combined them into a new experience for us to enjoy. For a first iteration, this game is phenomenal. The only true criticisms I personally have had were that (I'll mark this as a spoiler in case people want to find out all heritage effects on their own) The Voidwalker heritage feels like it has no up side. The slip n' slide feel just makes you feel like you're in a perpetual state of less control for no real gain. The other heritages all have VERY clear strengths, where this one does not to me. Other than that, there are some minor bugs with achievements, some tooltip/information clarity that could be fixed, and maybe make Spectral Sword not just a one point wonder on almost all classes, and I'd be happy. So if you enjoyed Vampire Survivors and are thirsting for a fresh experience with a lot of unique takes on this genre, you've found a hidden gem right here. (Plus it's only 3 dollars??)

  I had originally written a negative review based on my distaste for certain designs in this game. Then I made a post about said distaste in the discussion section. Within a few hours I had a response from the developer asking for more specifics about my problem. Most of my issues can be fixed by just practicing and getting good enough at the game to get around them. But a developer that listens (and quickly) is 1 in a million. The game is already fun. It will be even better. $3 well spent. Don't expect it to be exactly Vampire Survivors. Same genre, but quite different.

  The methadone to the heroin that is Vampire Survivors.

  Fun, but how is this not Vampire Survivors again?

  It's fun but until the chests actually reward in a way that's satisfying, I can't recommend. It's normal to open every chest in a run and get nothing for your actual build. It's completely random and worthless. Worst of it: this is intentional. Would rather play Vampire Survivors as of right now. Edit as of the first "major" patch: Still a hard no. Even more so. Instead of listening to the tons of complaints that the chest system doesn't reward people for the builds they're making, the dev decided to just nerf some classes.

  It's not a bad game, but everything it does, Vampire survivor does better. I may be wrong, and i apologize to the devs for saying so if their intention truly is honest, but it really feels like when you're on the Play store on mobile, and one game manages to sell, and in the next weeks there are like 50 more games with the same concept that appears. I can't recommend, the gameplay isn't even satisfying and hitboxes feel wrong.

  These new auto-attacking roguelite games are becoming a favorite of mine. This one is solid and a ton of fun. Check it out if you like Vampire Survivors.

  Recommend to all Vampire Survivors players

  I have so much fun on Nomad Survival and its game play is Awesome! I would guarantee you that it's not a cheap clone of VS, but it got it's own characteristics and many different mechanisms. It's 2 bucks of price and it's totally worth it for me. If you would give it a try and you may also find the charm of Nomad Survival.

  1 - There's vacuum (it's the magnet). 2 - It's not auto-win, you have to build properly. 3 - You have no limit to weapons and passives you can equip, but experience is limited and you have to choose wisely. 4 - Each character has an unique weapon not available to others.
