As someone who played Holocure first, a game inspired by it but with a lot more "baggage" (to put it in the smallest amount of words I can think of RN), and only recently started playing this game on my phone, it is very nice but the first impression, playing with Antonio and having to become decent at using him, to unlock an easier character to play at the start is a barrier to entry. But at least it helps sell you on the vibe of the game. It is fun but loses a lot from being played on a big keyboard when it is that simple and you have nothing to do with basically one entire hand besides occasionally interacting with the level up or pause menus (why I like playing Holocure a lot more on PC, since you can aim your weapons one hand and also do some other mechanics, while moving with your other hand at all times), at least looking back at how I bought and refunded the game on steam back before it went up in price. Now with the silly yet entertaining Among Us dlc, and giving a longer try (with the game being free for the base game on mobile), I feel like buying it if only to show support, since as he says on the interview: "it is a game with low production value" (at least at the base of it, certainly with all the people working on it and the more elaborate stuff they've put into the game it isn't so true anymore) yet still does a lot with it to be entertaining and replayable. And I certainly wish to see what else the team can do both in this game and in future games.

Kicking myself for not listening to friends suggesting this game until recently. Once I finally sat down to play it I could not stop. It's only been five days but I've dreamt of it every night and wake up so excited to get a chance to play the new characters I unlocked or go after some relic! Last night I played it until I was falling asleep during my last run, and my eyes kept closing then pop back open and I'd be running straight into a pack of mobs and getting hit. I know one of the reviews said it was like crack so now I understand.

What started off as a passing amusement on my mobile turned into a deep impression of a game that understood exactly what it wants to be and delivers polished gameplay and a sense of discovery that puts many other modern games to shame. Vampire Survivors made me realise that all these years the thing I've missed most in gaming is a game that just wants to provide a fun experience without all the trappings of predatory monetisation or psychological manipulation for marketing purposes.

I really LOVE the old idea of video games made just to be played with and enjoyed without anything else but your time an effort. This game is just amazing. Have a nice day!

@gabrieldias3479
@gabrieldias3479 10 ай бұрын
I think more than "gamers don't need fancy graphics" is "gamers don't need complex mechanics" Because there are a lot of pixel art games, trying to emulate "the good old times" but they have so many mechanics into them that for those wanting a casual gameplay really struggle. VS you just need to literally walk around! Most games nowadays you have to attack, special, jump, dash, parry, block, roll, switch weapons, switch skills, aim, combo and the list goes on...

I don’t know much about art or history, but I think this idea was the main idea of the impressionist art revolution. Impressionist art was critiqued as nothing more than a sketch, but in reality the impressionists’ goal was about painting outdoors and quickly capturing a moment of time, of which it’d be impossible to do at a high level of detail, focusing more on replicating the color, lighting and a sense of movement. By building a game with lower quality assets, the developer can focusing more of his effort on creating more content, creating better gameplay, and crucially this workflow allows him to be fast enough for the game to grow up with its players. He can react in real time to how the players are playing his game and use that to influence his next update.

Honestly the best thing with Vampire Survivors does is the fact that you can just pick it up, play a few hours, and then go do something else for a while. It doesn't demand that you play it and nothing else. It's fantastic to just take a break and go hunting for those pesky vampires that we have yet to find. You aren't punished for putting it down to play something else. There's not so much content the game gets overwhelming. It's a game made to have fun first and foremost. Also that Vampire Muppet is fantastic

Now I would be interested in a technical documentary of this! It looks like the waves patterns and incoming enemies come already from way far far far in the game world map? Plus all the collisions, hit testing, etc… they seem to be circles, but they are tons of thousands of them! Constant hierarchy or spatial partitioning? I haven’t played this game myself but have watched others over the shoulder and even just that is a treat to watch. Glad to hear about the overwhelming success specially after learning about its humble beginnings. Clever move to keep the personal side under the radar, I think I would do the same if it ever happened to me. Great documentary, great puppet approach.

I remember buying the game in early 2022 because I had a few bucks to spare on Steam and saw this game on a sale. Back then I do not remember the game being as big, and I was surprised that I managed to find this hidden gem so early on as I was addicted. Then a few weeks later, I see Asmongold playing and I was blown away how huge the game got from when I initially played it. Congratulations to the developers!

I have always wanted to hear and listen to what the creator has to say about his project. Vampire Survivors is truely one of the biggest suprises for me. And it came to the point where I want to support the creator more, because the price for the game and DLC is worth more imo.

Honestly, I also love the "crappy" look/feel to the game something about it is so endearing I am so glad that they made it like that on purpose and are working extra to keep it that way 😂 us folks who grew up on old pixelated games know that flashier and shinier does not always mean better!

Also, a huge well done to the dev for creating a recipe that is doomed to succeed; simple, fun, addictive mechanics, no handholding, 30-minute sessions at an overwhelmingly fair price. very few games can coax 100 hours out of a player for

Ths thing is that now I will always perceive Luca as this puppet and not acknowledge that he even has a human form. But it's also cool how he said he priced the game in a "fair way" rather than a "smart way." It makes sense from an expectation standpoint, but it's also probably one of the reasons the game was able to take off so quickly. I know I bought it simply because I was like "hey it's only $3."

My buddy recently showed me this game on Xbox and it took me a round or two to really get into it, but as soon I realized it's basically Castlevania Reference: The Game and figured out the possibilities of different builds I ended up really enjoying. It's a blast when I wanna get just a little bit of gaming in. Not to mention it's a quality game that's FREE WITH NO ADS on phones. That blew my mind. There are ads, but only if you want a free revive or some bonus gold at the end of a round.
