Out of all my survivor games, I have to say this is my favorite. Each character has different abilities and it keeps getting more interesting as you continue to play more games. Very satisfying to play a character you have "built up" for battle. Yeah it's mindless, yes it's repetitive, yeah you get tired of it after a while. But damn it's fun that's for sure. Plays perfectly well on my Steam Deck.

Here is a list of random little things I found in the first hour that set this game apart from most generic 'Vampire Survivor' clones.
Each character has a trigger ability which can be upgraded down two paths. These abilities can sometimes vastly alter runs. For instance one of my characters initially threw a bomb every 60 seconds. Fully upgraded the cooldown was reduced to 20ish seconds and the explosion generated gold. Great for farming. Each character has a unique ability.
Stages have alters which present mini challenges. Some make every kill explode into a hail of bullets (which btw murdered me the first time), others make huge skeleton snakes appear for a certain duration of time. Beat the challenges and get modifiers like 2x health 1/2x healing.
Random challenges pop up from time to time like circles you have to stand in for set amounts of time to get bonus currency. These seem to change from stage to stage.
Sandbox mode to test builds. Awesome for theorycrafting.
One level is a R-Type style side scroller. First time seeing this, and its hard as hell with proper side scroller mechanics.
Boss fights have a Fortnight style danger zone for an added element of palm sweat.
Everything else is standard fare. Upgrade trees, ultimate weapons, and so on. Movement is very fluid which is critical in these types of games. Enemies have the ability to completely clog up the screen and have enough variety in attacks (shooting, charging, evading) to keep it fresh.
The one criticism I do find valid is that the attacks (as they are now) are pretty bland. One of the more fun things about VS games is the ability to turn into a particle effect throwing, graphic card clogging, cpu burning, murder machine. Though the murder machine part is here (trust me you will feel the power quickly) the rest isn't quite there yet. If there was any area I would suggest to the dev to focus, this would be it.
So there it is in a nutshell. If you want to support a game with the bones of a bright future, I give this one a strong recommend. I am excited to see where this game at a year down the line in 2025.

Just started, but this seems like a solid game with plenty of upgrades to vary your runs, and I'm looking forward to delving deeper into that.

It's a bullet heaven survivor-like, it absolutely lets you build any number of insane damage outputs and it has a zany tongue-in-cheek take on the various characters and eras you can play with. If you like bullet heaven games then absolutely pick this one up!

A fun game with a funny premise well worth the small price.
