I played this like a month ago and stopped playing after beating most of the levels. Have they made a ton of changes to the game since then? Because I've been reading the posts on this page and have no idea what you guys are referencing in most of them :psyduck:

Anyway, is there something you can do to improve the chances of getting high value chests or is it completely random? I feel like my chests almost never give me really good loot, whereas it happened all the time when I watched a streamer playing this

Wow, pentagram really puts in work. I evolved it and grabbed some other things and by minute 23 I was just standing around waiting for the pentagram to go off and grab the gems for me. I only had to move to avoid the level boss and then grab some chests.

The chances go up with luck, clover boosts your luck and the higher levels and hyper modes give bonus luck.

Just from my experiences, I'd say it's not worth it. I have the Luck powerup maxed out, play on Hyper mode, and regularly take the clover, and even with all that I barely get any 3 chests, and sometimes don't get any 5 chests at all.

It's the gilded clover. You'll find it eventually if you just play, higher luck helps of course.

Just put an extremely fun build together to get the Survive The Bone Zone achievement. Started with the new arcana that triggers gold fever off of picking up gold bags + makes gold heal you, then at level 11 picked up the one that causes healing to do damage to enemies in an AOE. When you're in fever mode, dealing damage to enemies give you gold, which procs the heal, which procs more damage, and so on. It's like a build-your-own evolved garlic except it also synergizes extremely well with the actual evolved garlic. Finished the stage with over 40k gold (and I did not use the cats!)

How do you get more Arcana? I've gotten two so far, the healing one (which is a godsend) and the slash one that enables crits on bladed weapons. I thought it would require more tower runs but I picked up one randomly from a chest and now I'm just :confused:

You get to /use/ three arcana per run: one chosen at start, the other two from chests after the 10 and 20 minute marks. If you see a new one in a chest it means it's one you unlocked at some point but didn't notice.

Or it's a secret we don't know about, what does it do?

I used the gold healing Arcana and it was pretty great in the Bone Zone. I even almost won if not for my absolutely awful choices of weapons and arcana rng. If I had gotten la borra and cats then it would had been an auto win.

Yeah and while you get to pick between all your unlocked Arcana to start with, the two you get from chests during the game give you a random selection of 3 you have unlocked, no rerolls etc

Also "gets an extra arcana chest at 15 minutes" could be a cool character gimmick, especially when they add a few more. I also hope we get another weapon that synergizes with the explosion one (I think among the current selection the mine cart would be a good candidate) because it's really fun but pointless outside of the fire wand.

I was kind of confused why the explosion Arcana didn't work with Runetracer to No Future for maximum explosions.

I've finally updated the OP. Sorry for the long wait, everyone! :sweatdrop: I haven't written up information for the arcanas yet because I don't have all of them unlocked at the moment, but I promise that I'll get to it soon!

10 Minutes Till Dawn is cool and I'll keep an eye out for the full version. It's a little different in that it's not a "one stick" shooter like VS.

Beautiful Mystic Survivors REALLY cribs from Vampire Survivors, like even down to the enemy waves in the demo level lol. Also it has a feature where upon taking damage sometimes a closeup of your character pops up on the screen complete with huge animated heaving anime tits

I was wondering when people would start cloning it with actual production value, though I think the borderline copyright infringing sprites are part of the charm of VS.

10 Minutes Till Dawn looks pretty nice, I'll have to check that one out. Very funny that the title card at the end of the trailer says "20 Minutes Till Dawn".

10 Minutes cribs the GEMS concept but otherwise is very much doing its own thing. I like the little trees for each upgrade.

BMS is an outright VS clone but really leaning into the phrase "one handed shooter".

10 minutes is the name of the demo, 20 minutes will be the full game.

Ahh yeah, I didn't realize it was a demo, that makes sense.

Played a couple runs, it's pretty fun! Not as chill as VS, since you have to aim, but it has a great style and some fun upgrades already. Definitely scratches a similar itch.

10/20 Minutes Till Dawn seems like a lot fun, though I wouldn't quite classify it as a VS-like for the sole reason that you play it using two control vectors. I'll probably still buy it when it comes out, though!

The only thing I like about Beautiful Mystic Survivors is that its whip analogue can be aimed in any direction. Other than that, it's just a clunkier, hornier version of Vampire Survivors at the moment.

Lol, BMS's steam shop About This Game section includes "Vampire Survivors with sexy anime waifus". Presumably, the VS dev could get BMS permanently or temporarily removed from the store for that.

I don't think he'd want to try that, unless they genuinely just took his code and pasted their weeb poo poo into it. He's freely admitted the game idea wasn't original to him and there was the early hoo-ha about him using a Castlevania asset pack.

10 minutes til dawn is more nova drift than vampire survivors. Kinda missing a bunch of the features that make nova drift work but it doesn't have the skill variety to really need them yet. Your movement speed going to poo poo while firing is pretty annoying.

BMS is vampire survivors with lootbox weapon upgrades. Weapon levels upgrade a random stat and the first time you pick up a weapon sets its rarity, which is a multiplier for your stat rolls. The big notable one is that legendary weapons get +2 from amount and pierce rolls while everything below gets just +1. There's UI for passives but they're not in the demo. There's also a version of the game sold as "sexy mystic survivors" with outright porn and a different pair of characters in the demo.
