Should I get Emergency Meeting if I don't like Among Us?

[Dark Sun Gwyndolin]

Title. I don't much care for Among Us or other "social deduction" games; I'm too honest and bullheaded to properly manipulate people or conceal my own identity. However, I DO love Vampire Survivors (especially since it runs locally on my work laptop with an iGPU), and would always love more content.

The catch is, theme and immersion is very important for me, and I worry that the cartoony Among Us characters and weapons might break the game's Castlevania-esque aesthetic. If I purchase the DLC and later disable it, what happens to my savefile?

You'll need it IF you want to have all the Adventure Mode Adventures available to you.

I don´t like Among Us but I enjoyed the dlc a lot. Go for it. ;)

[Moonbane]

The dlc is enjoyable, though I personally only found the scanner weapon worth bringing from the dlc, rest of them I sealed. I dont like any of the amongus crew, so i just dont use them.

To answer your question about permanent effects on the games aesthetic , you can ignore the characters and just not play the DLC stage but for the weapon unlocks you will need to spend Seals to get rid of them if you don't like them.

The DLC adds 16 new weapons , you will need to disable 8 of them to prevent yourself from seeing them.

I would recommend checking youtube videos to decide how you feel about the weapons. The base game has attacks that are aesthetically weird already like NO FUTURE (rune tracer evolution inspired by Saga Frontier) or Valkyrie Turner but for sure the Among Us weapons stand out more.

I don't like among us , I got the DLC just to support the dev , there are a couple characters with interesting traits that let you break the game in cool ways and a couple strong weapons , plus the adventure mode stuff if you enjoy that , for just those things it's probably worth 2 bucks.

Personally I got a few hours of enjoyment out of the DLC stage itself, after that I felt bored but kept going to grind all the character unlocks because the characters themselves are more interesting than the DLC stage.

The other DLC stages were much much better IMO and never felt boring. Just consider it a $2 tip for the dev.

Poncle (vampire survivors dev) and Among Us dev Innersloth are friends so this collaboration DLC was a fun side project for them. Not really selling out or a cash grab , probably won't boost sales of either game since the players don't really overlap , it's just a fun "What if" DLC which is why it is low priced and doesn't have achievements in it (wouldn't be fair to people who don't buy).

Alright, that's good to know. I think I'll skip it, at least until I've cleaned out all the other content. On the other hand, $2 for a game I love is ridiculously cheap, and I want to reward good business practices...

Hey!

We've had a lot of community members end up enjoying Emergency Meeting despite not being into Among Us. So, you might actually end up enjoying it.

I think it does feel a bit different than our other DLCs, but we did our best to keep the collaboration in line with the visuals and aesthetics of Vampire Survivors.

[Iyasenu]

I like it. Its new weapons and characters seem especially suited for co-op play, insomuch as being able to heal other players, assist in activating their attacks, or benefit from other player's upgrading their weapons or even dying.
Though I usually play the game by myself, the solo experience is fun to play, there's a bunch of stuff to see.
Like, some of the weapons interact with enemies in interesting ways, like being able to pull enemies off the screen or nullify them completely.
There's also a couple more characters with special gimmicks, akin to Menya Moonspell if you got Legacy of the Moonspell DLC, like one that can't get hurt, but also can't deal damage in the normal fashion.
Plus it comes with a new Adventure, and I like the adventures.

[Always Maybe]

It's on sale and under 5 dollars. Why not?

[NeoCodex]

I don't think it fits in the VS universe and the characters/skills seem overpowered, but it's more VS content and it's cheap, so of course i bought it... Why not. It's something new.

But it doesn't fit; I understand where you're coming from and I agree on that, but also appreciate that the developer is trying something new at the same time. Of course you can just disable the stuff you don't want later.

My principle is buy every DLC a game you love releases, even if you don't like it. It's not even a question for me, their fair business model needs to be rewarded and it's the best way to guarantee more content in the future.

Nothing more overpowered than any of the earlier characters. The only one whom have a really good passive is Pink Scientist, but they are badly held back by poor weapon AND evolution.

Maybe, tbh I haven't really played with the DLC that much, but whenever I used the new abilities and units on the new stage it seemed pretty crazy to me with all the extra stuff they get, but it's really hard to say, I'm not the right person to rate these, that was just my impression. Or maybe it's just the stage itself with the bonus pickups that skewed my perception.

[Moonbane]

I think you may be mixing up something. The amongus chars dont get a 'lot' of extra stuff.

Personally I think the foscari npcs more interesting and noticeably stronger.

[NimrodX]

I don’t like the among us DLC myself.

I think these sort of crossovers don’t really end up so well when the games aesthetics don’t match. I don’t like the Dredge DLC for Dave the Diver, for example, and if anything it has made me decide I will not buy Dredge.

[なかの31]

I mean, if you're expecting an among us match in the game, that's not happening.
It's literally Vampire Survivors with Among Us characters.

There are some cool weapons, and the characters it brings are also interesting.
The adventure I thought was way too easy, since you can make yourself
really powerful with just the golds you start with.
The thing I most hate about the DLC is its boss, which is literally a tanky giant
meatball, that can even be frozen to make it more pathetic, so be prepared to
get sick of it after mashing it for several minutes.

[themazingness]

It's fun. I personally like the other DLC better, but this DLC is still worth every penny.

The only major downside is there is more to banish once you unlock things, not enough banish to go around.
