PhaigeX: Hyperspace Survivors

This dev and his game aren't demonstrably bad - if anything I'm somewhat impressed by the quality of this obscure game. That said, I found it very boring and repetitive and I don't recommend it. For a Vampire Survivors meets space shooter experience I would instead point people to [b]Gunlocked[/b] or even [b]Wings of Seduction[/b].

SHE PHAIGING ON MY X TIL I SURVIVE HYPERSPACE

I consider myself to have finished the game clocking in 40~ hours and getting all the achievements. I have found first runs difficult but in a good way, closer to 'easy to understand, difficult to master'. Controls are simple, and incrementally unlocked weapons/passives are paced well to not overwhelm you. Each ship out of 10 has different gamestyle, and requires different approach to use them effectively, my favs were Monarchs drone spam, and BioForce ball of death. For me personally some sort of 'test mode' is missing to check newly unlocked items, since they sound great on paper but are underwhelming in real encounters. Also database filter to search for specific weapon types, or uniques per ship. Amount of unlocked items is sometimes a curse, since you might need very specific weapon/passive combinations to make certain ships shine. Some ships were noticeably weaker than others, plus there's no way to spend 'warp' currency after you've unlocked everything. Run usually lasts about an hour so it's a plus for busy gamers ;) TL;DR Game is easy to understand, but hard to master. Game is challenging and even the best run can end in a catastrophe if you're hard-countered, debuffed or not equipped up for ocassion. Overral it's a polished fun experience with miniscule flaws and I highly recommend the game
