Might as well get used to it since the genre is flooding Steam almost as much as roguelikes, roguelites, collectible card games and Darkest Dungeon clones. I just accept it and try to find some "takes" on overrun genres the appeal to me. :)

And so are 20 Minutes Until Dawn, Halls of Torment, Soulstone Survivors, Vampire Survivors and many among others. It's a popular genre now. OP, are you okay? Get off your mobile games.

Just remember all 30,000 first person shooters on Steam are ripoffs of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. They should all be removed from Steam.

The only thing that worries me about V:S clones becoming so rabidly prevalent, is that in one case a top-down shooter I was looking forward to, the devs ended up apparently delaying that so they could churn out a V:S clone/spinoff faster I guess.

I mean, I've seen so many genres get rapidly popular in 30 years of PC gaming, but I don't remember a time when a rabidly growing genre resulted in a a game getting spunoff in that form, before the source game material even got released. :D

Only this genre has been about since the Flash games era, it's far from new. The revival is pretty neat though :D

You could say that all these games are a spin off from the 1980 arcade game "Berzerk". The inspiration for the game came from Alan McNeil an employee of Stern, who had a dream about fighting robots.

Funny that they compare this to a mobile game, thinking their little game's the first to do it.
