To put vampire survivors bullet hell into a better mental area for some people It is like the old school side scrolling rail shooters but no rails or auto scrolling. You might control your shots in those games. Some times. Othertimes you just held down a button and shot non stop. Like this game looks to be good, not as good, but in the sense of a good side scroller. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1975360/DRAINUS/

haven't played the new level yet and I'm gonna have a crack later today, what was it someone said before about mutually exclusive / locked parts of the level? you can't do both in different runs?

I think if you go in with a non-secret character then you'll trigger something before the "survive 15 minutes" part.

You can't access the entirety of the new stage (and thus unlock the newest tier of content) if you go into it with any of the following hidden characters: Red Death, Leda, Ex-Dash, Toastie, MissingNo. They added an indication of such to the level select menu so make sure to choose a "normal" character and you'll be fine.

I'd say Vamp Survivors belongs to a new category in the SHMUP genre than in Bullet Hell, which is more about enemy projectiles. Magic Survival calls itself a Hack n' Slash on the store page, but that's probably because the developer is translating.

Honestly Vampire Survivor reminds me more of stuff like Crimsonland than anything else. SHMPs are close but I feel like the build/perks/leveling stuff is a lot more in line with that.

There are two new levels. One is a Green Acres-style bonus with EVERYTHING on the floor, good luck dinging every single accessory to 7 in 15 minutes of exp but using the new upgrades on a non-secret character unlocks an alternate result to time over. One is an extended, failable cutscene that disappears permanently on completion.

It is definitely not the same gameplay (think a wave-based shooter with tank controls and momentum and wrap-around screens like Asteroids) but Nova Drift's upgrade system might scratch the same itch. You "draft" between a random selection of upgrades when you level up (by collecting orbs!) and they build upon and synergize with each other in various ways with the potential for some real gamechanger stuff.

bought this after seeing 5 seconds of gameplay and boy I haven't had this much fun in a warcraft 3 custom map in ages. I can't stop loving garlic because of that soul eater, even if I get the feeling it's a bit suboptimal. although honestly my heart belongs to the song of mana. I can't ever pass it up even if it takes 20 levels and 4 items to get Good

I can't ever pass it up even if it takes 20 levels and 4 items to get Good I think garlic is great early on, before you reach the point (through meta-game upgrades and other mechanics) that it is basically impossible you will ever die in the first 25 minutes. It allows you to slip past enemies and hold them back a little bit, and that helps a ton at that point. I pretty much never used it later on, though.

yeah, garlic is one of those items thats incredibly appealing, especially early, for the damage output it seems capable of, but as soon as you encounter an enemy that takes more than two hits of garlic to knock down (which is inevitable) you absolutely must have something that can take advantage of that knockback debuff to justify the investment of levels/items. honestly, the knockback is probably the better reason to get garlic than its damage because it can really save your rear end combined with the bibble or something, as the damage of garlic is outclassed by so many things after the 10 minute mark

i think that if most devs released a fun little early-access game for $3 that was suddenly purchased by everyone, everywhere, they'd be satisfied to add a few new items and characters and enjoy their filthy lucre this dev did not need to make something like Holy Forbidden but I'm glad they did

Oh wow, this is really solid. It's not Vampire Survivors but it's clearly made by someone who understands why Vampire Survivors is good, and also has their own ideas they want to implement. It's certainly not perfect but it's $3 and I think the devs "get it" more than any of the other games in the genre I've tried. Thanks for the rec, I didn't know it existed until now.

In order: "Previously on Vampire Survivors" (when looking at 'cheevos) "here's another lovely patch" (holy forbidden) "everything's lost" (intended meaning all hope is lost) (gallo tower?) "For friendship" (Christine in the new? stage) "This [level] is empty, there's fuckall here" (egg shop) I'm not even going to try to explain "the knife grinder is here" (the pope) *unintelligible* (??? in Gallo tower) "launch da bomb" (Concetta offbounds in Gallo tower) "The situation is dramatic" (egg shop again) "eggs eggs eggs  "(triple chest into holy forbidden) "It's the end of the world" -> "jackpot" (Pugnala next to the shop) "What do you want/need" (in fake old grandma voice) (the loving mess) "he/she/it is our last only hope" (subject not present) (coffin) "auntie Assunta"

Decided to try out a build around the Arcana that make more things cause freezing, cause explosions while freezing, and also the one that adds bounces to the wand. Absolutely tears through everything- as the round ended I was leveling every few seconds and moving freely through the 29-30 wave crowd. Briefly thought I might hit level 200, but not quite. This also included a Gold Fever that lasted nearly two minutes because things were spawning and dying so fast, right up until I hit a "fewer, tougher" enemies wave. Looking forward to that patch in a couple of days!

Patch is out on the beta branch! I just did a run of the fifth level, it's pretty cool! Except for the part where blue death showed up and chased me north for like ten solid minutes, until I finally killed him. It's a good thing I played as Pugnala or it would've taken even longer, bleh. The player character doppelganger enemies and the piles of coffins are interesting... the plot thickens.

I think the idea is to used the guaranteed crucifix just south of spawn (but on the other hand that also kills the angel (but on the third hand, i sure hope you're not supposed to babysit that thing for 30 minutes.)) Not sure what +3 projectiles to song is doing for me, but the attractor is amazeballs for greedy runs. Poof and everything in the stage is on top of you.
