Support NeoGAF

[marjo]

My god, this game is basically crack. I downloaded it yesterday on PC game pass, thinking I'd give it a shot and play for a few minutes.
I've since played about 6 hours! When I'm not playing, I'm thinking about it. I thought I was burned out on Roguelites, but apparently not.
This might be my GOTY!

 

[meernakh]

It's pretty dope, very addictive game loop. Looking forward to playing it on console

[Little Mac]

Hits console gamepass on nov 10th. Maybe I should just buy it.

 

[Punished Miku]

Im excited about the console release after all the impressions I've seen. A small action game thats easy to jump into is the perfect add for this busy gaming season.

 

[bender]

My game of the year list is going to be littered with 2D goodness: Vampire Survivors, Wind Jammers 2, Shredders Revenge, Infernax

I was also LTTP on Door Kickers Action Squad.

 

[marjo]

It's got that 'just one more run' thing going for it. I think the fact that each run is relatively short (max 30 minutes) is one of the big things that appeals to me.

 

[Supple]

Support the developers and buy the game.

 

[dispensergoinup]

The music is pretty good too, the search for the OP build is very addicting.

 

[marjo]

Support the developers and buy the game.

Do you think the devs didn't get paid for putting it on Game Pass?

 

[BennyBlanco]

Best $3 I spent this year

 

[rofif]

YES

 

[Black_Stride]

TGA Indie Game of the year 100%.
Should probably be atleast nominated for full on GOTY too, but we know how the press will just forget they are on crack.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I've mentioned this game once as (at the time) killer PC exclusive app and of course I was LOL'ed at because of how it looks. I swear most people here are so close minded, it's kind of sad.

I'm glad you're enjoying the game and let's hope it will be ported to every device under the sun!

 

[Gudji]

I'm about to try it.

 

[Supple]

Do you think the devs didn't get paid for putting it on Game Pass?

Yes, but you should still buy the game.

 

[nikos]

Tried this a while back and it was fun for a few rounds but I didn't end up playing it much.

Decided to download it again tonight and it's now 3:30 AM. Been glued to it for hours and I know I haven't seen anything yet. I started to think of different builds to try and things actually worked out. The sense of progression in this game is incredibly good. It's very reminiscent of NES games back in the day for several reasons. Can't wait to play more.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

This game is GotY, fuck GOW.

 

[AV]

I think it's cool, but I'm really not getting why it's been SO lavishly praised. I play a round, maybe two and then I'm out, it's definitely not as addictive as some other run-based games I've played.

Still think it's awesome that a £3 game or whatever it is is gonna be on so many GOTY lists though.

 

[Calverz]

I played it on my steam deck for 6 hours straight last night. It's definitely crack and is a goty contender. It's so simple

 

[mxbison]

Played about 5 hours and I can already say this will be in my Top 5 GOTY.

 

[GymWolf]

This thing would make billions on apple store and android, the dev is losing money as we speak.

 

[ACESHIGH]

Absolute digital opium let me tell you. Garlic + hearts FTW.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Cant wait to try this on XBox GP in a few days.

Watching videos it looks like stupid mob blasting fun.

Actually Vampire Survivors came out in 2021

There's a whole world out there, filled with these now.

And the OG that people seem to overlook now that VS has taken over the reigns:

I've been really enjoying Brotato loads myself lately. It's a bit annoying with the bosses sometimes just destroying you but otherwise it's also very much like crack.

 

[bender]

In Early Access.

 

[VN1X]

Another one just came out today!

 

[DenchDeckard]

Pure CRACK!

 

[Hydroxy]

I do not understand the hype about this game. But more power to you if you like it.

 

[nikos]

It's 75 degrees in NYC and I'm sitting inside playing this fucking game.

I'm forcing myself to close it right now.

 

[GHG]

I do not understand the hype about this game. But more power to you if you like it.

Yep would much rather fire up Path of Exile, Grim Dawn or another arpg for this kind of fix. Or even Hades for rogue lite elements.

It's not that I dislike this, it's just lacking that bit extra for me to sink time into it.

 

[Beelzebubs]

Nomad Survival is pretty damned good too! Holocure is pretty damned good and also free so well worth a look.

 

[Mozzarella]

I'm scared to try it

 

[drotahorror]

Another one just came out today!

Yep! Played like 7 hours already hah. This is definitely the highest budget one of these games.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Gonna double dip on console just to support. One of the most fun games I've played in a long time. Short and sweet.

 

[Davey Cakes]

This game was fantastic even when it was only two stages in EA. The core gameplay loop is perfect.

I jumped back into it after the 1.0 release and there's a lot more to do! New characters are great.

 

[drotahorror]

I've been thinking of making an OT for these sort of games but just haven't been able to think of what to call it.

My favorites that I've played (and I've played quite a few): I rank all these better than Vampire Survivors for the most part

This one doesn't have a lot of content but I've put a load of hours into it. There is new content coming soon and it looks like it adds more than double the amount of content. Maybe my favorite one out of them all.

A little different than the others but lots of depth and fun already.

This one is slept on pretty hard but deserves a look.

And of course this one, the most expensive and highest budget one.

And the OG that people seem to overlook now that VS has taken over the reigns:

That's funny, I was just playing that on my steam deck the other day. They didn't realize they had struck gold with that formula but no one capitalized on it then.
