Weirdly, I think this is better than Vampire Survivors? This is mostly the result of scores of little changes, the kind of balance changes that would be too tedious to list in a review, but they add up to a product that is far less frustrating to play than normal Vampire Survivors. Most notably, evolving weapons isn't tedious, items have far more interesting effects, and characters are unique in ways that are interesting for longer than the first 15 seconds of a run (upgradable passive abilities). Thank god I'm not spending one passive slot every single run on spinach!

Really, the biggest downside to this game as a casual Hololive fan is that I am fiending for more characters, but given how big a head start Vampire Survivors had in producing content for the game, it's impressive that this game can hold a candle to the original at all.
