I’m happy to pay a reasonable amount for a good game, but in the era of $70 triple A releases, imagine if this could be the Arizona Tea or Costco Hot Dog for gamers. On top of not being very snappy (we’ll get there, I swear), I just realized I’ve not talked much about the most important thing these games share the three dollar price point. It sounds like a standardized test you failed in high school. Oh, I know, we’ll call them SBAR’s, like how some people started pronouncing “SNES,” like it was a word one day. I think this one covers it.ĭamn, that one sucks too, huh? Maybe an acronym of that? S.B.A.R.
This is very relevant, as it says to me that the idle nature of Vampire Survivors aren’t an obligatory part of the genre we’re naming here today. You pull the trigger to shoot! You play for 20 minutes and not 30! Vampire Survivor’s idle game influences have been stripped away and in its place is a run-and-gun shooter more akin to Enter the Gungeon in a big empty room. I’d rather celebrate the innovations 20 Minutes brings to the burgeoning genre. Vampire Survivors is THAT FUN and we need to celebrate the games that take influence from and also build on top of their inspirations. If I were cynical, I could focus on the fact that 20 Minutes Till Dawn has more than a little in common with one of the year’s most talked about indie games, but that would be missing the point by a mile. We need a fucking snappy title, I’m telling you! VSLikes ? No, “Vs” is too loaded for gaming. Not great, is it? VampireLikes and SurvivorLikes both feel wrong too if you ask me (the latter sounds like how you’d classify Love Island ). So like, I don’t know, Vampire Survivor Likes ? Playing this one, it’s abundantly clear that Vampire Survivors is to this genre what Dark Souls was to Soulslikes. I recently grabbed 20 Minutes Till Dawn, the also-three-dollar heir apparent to Vampire Survivors.

A free for all that is way more blissful than this mess of a genre label I’ve connected implies. But the simplicity of your impact on the swirling madness makes it strangely calming.

It’s a big chaotic mess, with a screen full of enemies, weapons and evolutions to keep track of, and unlockable content stored behind often esoteric achievements. I don’t fucking know man, it’s like a lot of things.īut that’s the beauty of Vampire Survivors. Which is kind of true! But it’s also sort of like Dead Cells meets Cookie Clicker. My first thought when I played Vampire Survivors was that it’s like Castlevania meets Geometry Wars. If that weren’t enough, there’s new weapons and characters added more often than I can keep up with. It’s a glorious loop of twitch reflexes (in the form of avoiding an ever growing army of undead enemies) and on-the-fly character building. You steer, the game operates the weapons.

What it boils down to is actually quite simple: Kill things, gather the XP they drop, use it to upgrade your weapons and abilities, which all do their thing automatically.
Idle Survival Roguelike Musou Action Game
It’s as glorious as that description is ungainly. It’s sort of an idle, survival, roguelike, Musou, action game. I have trouble sticking with games and I’ve put 40 hours into it with no signs of slowing down. Buckle up.įirst of all, If you haven’t checked it out already, go buy Vampire Survivors. Now that these games have their PUBG and Fortnite, we gotta name these fuckers. It’s like that old expression, “One is an indie gem, two is a genre.” Or whatever.
The problem is, I don’t really know what to call this type of game, and we really need to figure out a snappy title for my new favorite genre before it gets saddled with something awful like Metroidvania. And now, I’m hooked on 20 Minutes Till Dawn too, the first of hopefully many obvious spiritual successors in a direct but respectable lineage. These are just some of the astoundingly fun games I’ve involuntarily put on the backlog this year in order to keep playing Vampire Survivors every time it updates.
