You are a Vampire and you are trying to Survive
I would say "I've made the mistake of watching Renfield the movie" but at least playing this game is a better experience than the movie!
If you're not familiar with this genre:
There are countless and countless of enemies running locked-in to you and you're trying to not get hit by them and kill them. That's it (some people call it "reverse bullet hell"). Every enemy drops exp and you level up, grow stronger or get different powers to make your build better.
This game is kind of a different take on the genre. I would say I played many games of this genre and this has pretty different takes on the regular formula (for the better or worse).
•The game has limited maps, it's not endless run arounds but also they are not just boxes as well. It's an actual map with rooms and every room has some destructible and indestructible structure (these ones can be used for defense)
•The exp system is the most different of these kinda games. Since in the movie our main guy eats bugs to get stronger, the exp in the game are bugs but they just come/walk to your character so there's no magnet power up and if you become just so strong, you can stay still and still gain exp.
•Despite most of the games in this genre, this game kinda pushes you to always run around and not stay still with its characters/powers/builds
•That brings up the jank talk in the game: There are some jank (shocker)! Some of the rooms (especially in the first map) has some ultra-defensive points that covers you in 3 sides and that makes you invincible. But if you stay still at the edges or corners of the rooms, you don't get exp even if you eat the bugs. They just disappear and you gain that much of exp when you clear the room so if you depend on leveling while killing enemies you might consider not doing it.
•Let's just rip the band-aid off: There are no chestsShame on you game! Also for evolving your weapons all you need to do is leveling them up to max level (Lv10). When you do that, the strong enemies drop a crown instead of chests and you use that crown item to evolve your weapon when you level up.
•Saved the best for the last: The music is great! Cool and catchy melodies that will make you bop your head.
PS: I'm pretty much done with this game but if I play more or remember something that I missed, I might maybe update this review...
I played this game thanks to duhnuhnuh's Perpetual Steam Game Giveaway !
