    I originally tried this game just to shut up a friend who kept insisting I'd love it. It was easy to pick up quickly and my first impression was that someone owes copyright fees to 90's games like Smash TV. But after giving it a second try a couple weeks later, I found myself owing my friend an apology because I was happily addicted.

    There's nothing really profound about the game, but
    I originally tried this game just to shut up a friend who kept insisting I'd love it.

But after giving it a second try a couple weeks later, I found myself owing my friend an apology because I was happily addicted.

    There's nothing really profound about the game, but it progresses nicely and it hits solidly on two very key elements: it's easy, and it's satisfying. Especially toward the end of a run when things get intense and it feels like being in a casino with all the lights and sounds but without all the cigarette smoke and cougar wrinkles.

    To all the quasi-elitists who are posting negative reviews but have obviously not played the game (or are clearly lying about trying it), yes, it's a low-tech game, but so what? Not everything has to be a next-gen exclusive or require a high-end gaming PC to be an enjoyable game. And besides, it's dirt cheap. Even you little turd weasels who can't ride 10 feet on a school bus without getting an uncontrollable erection because someone has a lunchbox showing too much Pokémon cleavage can afford it with your tooth fairy money.

    This is easily in the running for my game of the year 2022. (Stray? Seriously Geoff and journos?) It's quite apparent when reading the bad reviews that they are put off by the graphics for this one. Don't be. (You really never should be in my opinion. It's s not what makes a good game, it can be PART of a good game, but it's not required.)

    Don't skip this game. Play it. Even buy it,

    Don't skip this game. Play it. Even buy it, because supporting Devs that make games like this with this much depth and replayability should be top priority for gamers. And it's very cheap. Way TOO cheap if you ask me. I would gladly pay 20 for this. It really puts into perspective how silly gamers can be when people pay 60 bucks for games like Saints Row but won't spend 5 bucks on this game. Which I did. Twice. But I didn't even spend a dime on Saints Row. Got it from Gamefly and sent it back after trying it for way too long lol. 2 hours lol.

    Solid 10. What an incredible gameplay loop. Free on gamepass and otherwise 5 bucks. So much fun!

    This game is extremely simple. But for some reason I've been playing mainly just this for dozens of hours. Not glitches, performs spot on great port. I simple, fun, can't find time to do long game sessions? This is a great pick!

    This game reminds me of the best days of 16 bit rpg dungeon crawlers, except with an intense amount of onscreen sprites. It has me, so good, I can't stop playing it. Perfect! "my" GOTY

    I can't stop playing it, it's amazing. The game is very simple, the only thing you have to use is left analogue stick. A and start button are the only things u may use, very rare, when u want to see the map, press start, or press A to select (sometimes, sich as leveling up to choose skill). It's really funny game, and it reminds me dor original castlevenia.

    Este videojuego es la sorpresa más grande que me he llevado en los últimos tiempos! Un absoluto juegazo, una genialidad que desborda originalidad, una fuente inagotable de dopamina. La sensación de recompensa en cada partida es algo muy destacable. Una alegría de haber tenido la oportunidad de jugarlo día 1 en Game Pass. Gracias Xbox!!

    a great rogue-like game, the item combos can snowball pretty quickly and its very easy to become satisfyingly powerful, but you still need to keep on your toes because champions and bosses can sneak up on you and end your run pretty quickly, and yes, you can pet the dog. just hook up a keyboard and type "pet" while playing as the dog and you heal and pet the dog (only once per run though)

    This game is a big surprise! Saw it on xbox game pass and then saw the good reviews. Told myself I should try it. Finished playing this game for a week non stop it's that good! Bough it on my xbox series S and steam and planned to buy it on mobile if it cames out I love this game so freaking much! There's a DLC coming can't wait to see what's coming this game has so much potential!

    The entire formula seems simple on its surface, and maybe it’s been done before? But it’s never been done with this much aplomb and balance, and it’s never stoked gamers’ curiosity quite as much as it does here. Vampire Survivors looks simple, but it’s far more elegant than that, and it contains just one flaw right now: It lacks any sort of survival mode.

    Addictive and happy: pixelated top-down roguelike with very simple gameplay - but the spiral of rewards has an enormous pull effect, every run makes the endorphins spill over, there is a lot to discover and experiment with.

    Someone, please send help. I can't stop playing Vampire Survivors, and I'm worried it might end up ruining my life. This is pure and unadulterated gameplay that will suck away hours of your life, but you'll be loving every bit of it.
