Vampire Survivors – (2022 game) only not.
Meh.
-
It’ll likely be payware after the open beta; I don’t know.

2024-12-05 – Open beta ∞
I saw Asmodan playing it so I figured I’d tinker with it since it’s free.
- Firstly, the game’s name is weird.
- No borderless fullscreen.
- What justifies this being a mature game? Oh, unnecessary character selection nudity. Why?
- No description of the characters / abilities.
- If the characters can be rerolled, why not just have a choice/creation mechanic?
-
Begin the game by punching skeletons for no damage.
- I had to trial-and-error punch a certain skeleton to get my first weapon. This is unnecessary friction.
- In the game, some characters which have skill with some weapons never get the opportunity to use those weapons. Even at beta, I don’t see why that is.
- I hate pickup radius in games.
- Hit animations are timed strangely. I take damage too long after the animation begins. I’m quite distant before I take a huge chunk of damage.
- I had to play a while to figure out what the little tombstones and red objects were; currency. There’s also an orange currency which I mistake for legendary drops.
- Abilities are automatic and not fun. I hate games like this.
- What’s energy cost? If it limits the automatic use of my abilities, then why not just have a cooldown/timer?
- How is a bow bad at long ranges? It tries to aim at closer things.
- Oh, this does the same Vampire Survivors end where you just die. I fucking loathe that.
-
Am I making a character for the game or per match? Or am I making a party?
- I would later learn it’s just some unnecessary randomness per match.
- There’s a lot of density with all the icons which needs to be cleaned up. For example, there are skulls with slashes through it, which to me signifies that I did something wrong.
- What is “FXP”?
-
Clicking on an upgrade dot on the map should have a cancel button to return to the map. Or just click elsewhere.
