I had high expectations for this game, but it feels incredibly bare-bones. The gameplay loop is repetitive: what you do in the first few minutes is exactly what you'll do for the entire game. You can only equip one weapon at a time, and most ranged weapons are underwhelming and slow due to their reload speeds. Once you unlock the magic wand girl, she’s all you'll need. Her nonstop auto-aiming bolt-firing wand outshines every other weapon, so you can just stick with her, level up a few picked-up spells, and breeze through the game. Overall, the game is overly simplistic and easy to beat. You run around, wait for rare "tougher" monsters that drop chests, loot them for upgrades or golden crystals, and then continue running around to destroy small blue monoliths and collect more crystals from them. These can be invested in minor permanent upgrades, but that’s about it. This is one of the most repetitive and shallow 'survivors-like' games available on Steam. Visually, it somewhat...

I wanted to like the game, but the art direction was the only thing to like. Pros: - Visuals are pretty good. - Sound design and music are also decent. Cons: - Even for a Survivors-type game, it's grindy and repetitive. - Spells feel weak for the most part, and you are limikted to wielding one weapon at a time.
[h1] Shitty Vampire Survivors copy but it's FPS - NOT WORTH THE PRICE[/h1] - INSANELY bad optimalization - to the point im not sure if its not a bitcoin miner. It takes 90% of GPU all the time and gives 80 fps with simple pixelated grafics with JPG enemies. Absolute dosh#t. - Most of the mechanics are copied from VS, even all the stats are called the same and do the same thing... - Game offers multiple weapon slots but its absolutely pointless to even get more than one. They are also very poorly balanced. - There arent even any weapon evolutions - Things like bans, rerolls etc. are actually consumable - that means you have to rebuy them after you use them, and with insanely limited currency you will end up not using them at all. - very short game, you can probably beat it in 2 hours easily without the side content
Holy crap! Where did this game come from, and why is it so good???
The most boring First Person Shooter I have played in my entire life. It does not feel like a power fantasy like survivor-likes usually do, and auto shooting in a FPS feels insufferably lazy. All you're doing is moving your reticle onto dumb AI and watching them die, you don't even have to press a button. In other words, this subpar walking simulator isn't worth anything over 1$.
You will be entertained
8/10 Solid and fun FPS take on the 'survivors-like' genre, with good pixel graphics and a good difficulty curve. Not as much content as some other other offerings out there, but great whilst it lasts.
A great game if you get it on sale for a couple bucks. It's pretty straight forward. The more you play the more you unlock passive spells that shred through mobs. It's a fun game to change things up from grinding the same game over and over.
Really fun game that needs more content
The games visuals and general vibe are very nice, but that's all it has going for it. The game is super barebones and not well thought out. You experience everything there is to experience in the first 10 minutes of gameplay. It has potential, but as it is, it's not worth it.
