Update #2: It's quite simply -still- one of the best games I've ever played. It's packed with content and unlocks. The DLC is great. The music is great. The gameplay mechanics are great, especially when you unlock the game-changing/breaking mechanics such as Limit Break, Golden Eggs (increase base stats of a character), and Arcanas (ability/run modifiers for the current run). Curse is an excellent mechanic for crafting the tailor-making to your liking depending on the build you want to try and the character.

I'll never tire of the experimentation aspect of this game. It's like a sandbox filled with cool and interesting tools for me to use and combine to my satisfaction. Amazing work. Amazing game. Go find some vampires if you can and destroy thousands upon heaping thousands of undead. I've literally slayed tens of millions of monsters now at this point with the occasional boss here and there.

Update: This game is quite simply one of the best games I've ever played. If you enjoy min/maxing and experimenting with different builds, you will naturally find yourself running clinical trials thinking, "Okay, but what if I mix this accessory to increase projectile speed with that bouncing weapon. And then add this accessory to do reduce cooldown... And then... And then..." endlessly.

The recently introduced Limit Breaker game mechanic only makes experimentation that much more engrossing by letting you over-level specific aspects of weapons that could be the literal amount of projectiles per tick/cast, the area size of its effect, the speed at which it travels, and so on. It makes every run different and lets me set wildly different goals. Sometimes I just like to focus on one specific weapon to see how badly I can wreak havoc on the baddies. I've done things... terrible things... that turned them into dust before they could even approach the edge of the screen.

It's awesome.

What an amazing game for less than a gallon of gas. If you like destroying thousands upon thousands of enemies, Vampire Survivors will be your jam. There's more fun packed in here than most "triple-A" releases.

You can expect gratuitous pixel death, interesting weapon combinations and evolutions, hordes, more hordes, and different characters that can encourage different playstyles. The transformation to weak hero into a god of death and destruction is satisfying every time, every run.

This is already a great game with the potential to become even better through content updates. Even if the game received no updates at all though, it's more than worth its price. Can you survive 30 minutes, hero?
