RPG Survivors

Vampire Survivors for poor gaymers.

Update: Changing my review to "not recommended". The developer mass revoked keys. Not a great first impression if they want a career in games. Basic survival roguelite that won’t stay long on your hard drive. After selecting your character and stage, you will be transported to an arena. The gameplay remains the same as always. You must survive for twenty minutes by killing monsters and collecting gems to refill your experience bar. Once full, you can choose one perk from a random selection. There are also chests that give you a perks right away. Attacking can be done manually or, for added convenience, automatically. Perks are divided into two categories: weapons and skills. You can only have nine perks in each category, so choose carefully. This is crucial since skills are linked to weapons. If you choose a skill for a weapon you do not have, you will squander an upgrade. Unless, of course, you are lucky and the weapons can be found later while leveling up or in chests. The entire selection is generic. There are swords, axes, spears, and a variety of other weapons. The same is true for skills that boost damage, have a greater range, and similar. Each perk can be selected up to seven times to maximize its effectiveness. Fun part is that each character has unique skills and weapons. Win or lose, the reward for a run are gems and coins. New characters and their equipment can be bought with coins. Gems, on the other hand, allow you to purchase permanent stat upgrades that are shared by all characters. Each upgrade can be bought up to three times. Unfortunately, the game is extremely grindy, as you will need to go on several runs to afford even one upgrade. Also, an upgrade adds a boost of a couple of percent, so the improvement isn’t that great. Another big problem is that the game just isn’t exciting. Since the arenas are very small, all you need to do is run around in circles. Although enemies look different, they all behave the same. Except for archers, everyone else just chases you around. Because the dodge is useless, what you need to focus on getting is high damage. Enemies keep coming all the time, so you need to get rid of them as fast as possible.
