This is yet another Vampire Survivor style game. I really enjoy the graphics of this one, but unfortunately I would not recommend it at this time. The amount of weapons, power ups, and stages is very low. I've already completed everything I think the game has to offer in under 2 hours. Each run ends up feeling the same due to the lack of variety. The first level is actually the hardest level, from my experience, which is weird. There are no difficulty modifiers, so I can't make the game harder, and I find the game really easy. I thought it was difficult at first, but once you realize that weapons/items seem to scale exponentially, the game becomes a lot easier once you start investing in one thing at a time rather than spreading out too much. I also question weapon and item balance. The daggers seem really good whereas things like the two pet weapons seem pretty unremarkable. A leveled regen also makes you seem invincible. So for now, this is a not recommend. There's just not enoug...

Good fun honestly. Can finish game in ~2h. Plasma girl is OP as hell. One small bug - if you win/finish the game and level up - it bugs out and you cannot exit/continue. Need the good old ALT+F4.

Cute aesthetics, solid early access foundation, successfully executing the easy to obsess over formula aka most important of all: fun 100% worth the price & very promising. Very small upgrade and ability arsenal, and too easy at the moment though. Hoping more is done for Idle Maku to blaze it's own trail & carve out it's own niche.

first time trying the genre and I'm liking it so far. It's just hard enough to keep me playing and I keep getting farther!

Just so you are aware - This game is a Vampire Survivors clone, and an inferior one at that. The gameplay and flow of the combat is pretty much the same. From what I saw, even the boss waves on the first map were similar. The way you level up was nearly the same and some items are quite similar (the dagger, whip, and electric ring most notably) If you haven't played Vampire Survivors just play that game instead - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1794680/Vampire_Survivors/ it's the same price - 2.99 - and has more content. If you have already played Vampire Survivors, then consider Idle Maku a downgraded version with a re-skin. As for the content depth - At the time of this comment, there are only 5 upgrade options in the main menu, so that should give you an idea.

It's a classic fun arcade game. If this was at Round One or Dave and Busters you would see all your friends fighting for the high score.
