Witchcraft Survivors

A very mediocre "Survivorslike" game. It stays very true to the original formula - you don't get to aim or anything, it just fires off your bullets. It's a typical example for a "neutral" recommondation. You only get 6 chars in total, all of them themed around one element (fire, water, dark, etc). It doesn't have the split between "weapons" and "passives" like Vampire Survivors has - you can have all passives in your skill bar (except the first slot, which is your starting weapon). Also, it seems to be totally random, which three offers you get at level-up. Your success depends heavily on the level-up choices you get (at least past the first map). If you happen to get 3 or 4 levels on your first weapon, it's much easier than if you didn't get any at all. On later maps this means that you either get to level your first weapon on the first 8 levels (or so), or you die invariably. Since there are around 30 different skills and the selection seems to be truly random, you will have very few successful attempts in the game. There are basically 3 different main currencies - character experience, gold and achievements. Certain things only get unlocked after you got a certain number of achievements. Character experience is - big surprise - locked to certain characters. Once you maxed out a character (which happens around 84k Experience) you can convert it to gold. Since you need to level your stuff for higher tier maps, you will grind the first map repeatedly (since it'S the easiest one). That's getting boring quickly too. The levels seem to be "proof-of-concept"-style: Each tries to incorportate a certain concept: "normal" level, corridor style, endless timer, restricted ressources, etc. Also, the timers are rather short (besides the endless timer one it's never longer than 20 minutes so far). Maps generally have borders, though enemies can spawn from the other side (you, however, can't enter it). Enemies usually gravitate towards you and will invariably suffocate you unless you are insanely lucky and get to level your weapons quickly (see above). There is just no escape, not even the "world border". The entire thing feels more like a tech demo where the author tried different things (one per time) and the result was called a "level". And I'm starting to think whether the other survivorlike-games are truly random, or if they are skewed in favour of the player to be more fun. Get this game if you were really into VS and want more of the same. Else it's not really worth it.

The 5 characters you can unlock in a reasonable time share about 90% of their weapons if you don't count changing the color from orange to blue as a different thing; these weapons even within the same character often overlap each other pretty hard and feel redundant. Music is very repetitive. A lot of unlocks are grindy and uninspired. Despite the price being low, what is here is honestly underwhelming even for that.

Witchcraft Survivors is a good game that any 'survivors' fan can enjoy. The heroes are all fun to play (personally I like the ice mage the best) and the zones are nice. What stands out the most to me is the modes you can turn on for each zone. They add some extra quirks to the level. I like the Hallucination mode, but be careful it can make you motion sick. I've gotten a decent amount of game play out of this game. I'm happy with it, I think it's fun. If you have money for this game, grab it, it's fun, and pretty inexpensive.

Enjoyable survivors title... I really enjoy the summon-able creatures and the different elements. The maps have some interesting differences... some of the achievements are a bit grindy but it makes sense for this type of game. Overall enjoyable game... Definitely worth the $5 bucks.

It's a pretty obvious Vampire Survivors clone, but it's not a bad one IMO. If you want a slightly different take on a VS-like game, I'd say this is worth a shot. I'd say either get it on sale or try the demo and make your own decision.

Pretty simple and short game. But not so bad. About 10-12 hours to 100%.

fun and challenging

I hope when I use necromancy to resurrect my cat it also murders me and turns me into a lich.

Fun game.

I like this one, lots O stuff
