... it's called taking inspiration and building upon it, literally the same thing humans have being doing with just about everything since the first guy used a stick as a tool and another seen him and thought, that's a neat idea, I'm gonna do that to, but maybe I'll attach a rock to the end of it.

oh and incase you didn't know "The game was inspired by Magic Survival, a mobile game that also consisted of a character automatically attacking enemies."

Vampire Survivors created a whole new genre of game. Of course there are going to be iterative games - because someone plays the original, likes it, thinks "Hey, I can add onto that - maybe with this theme and these additions". And boom, new game. Sometimes, the new games outshine the original (like, for instance, there are Vampire Survivor type games that I hold in higher regard to Vampire Survivor itself).

If you actually tried to think before complaining you'd realize that this would also apply to people that make lighters, torches, matches and flamethrowers for stealing the idea of the people who first discovered fire.
Or chasing after people who make Halo, Call of duty and other FPS games for stealing Wolfensteins/ Dooms design.

Not everyone can or needs to be original, some remake ideas to be how they think the thing they found would be better. It's called innovating.

Unless it's Activition or EA then it's just being money grubbing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

imagine being so ignorant thinking vampire survivors coined and created this genre. and then posting that ignorance in public. games like this have been out for a long time. and mostly on mobile.

Lmao someone complaint about this after 1010312031 other games did the same?
Ok

I hear you Masterpooing, I was so mad when Ms. Pac man came out when there was already Pac Man. edit: there are over 6700 in game right now yfi.

So we should blame the car manufactures then too?
The whole automobile concept is copy & paste with some added or removed features and inventions.

Why improve and take inspiration when xy was invented before?

I don't understand what's the problem - don't like them, don't play them. I have Vampire Survivors maxed out and nothing else to do and just like playing games from this genre.

Doom clones...
So fun how devs just go and copy what its on trends and make a "game", late (recent?) year was Doom and all the FPS games now this.. whats next a Doom clone in 3D?

laughable how devs and companies have no Brain for something new.... keep falling down

Why don't you go play some games OP instead of wasting time crying about a genre you don't like on Steam?

I'm old enough that if I wanted to yell "get off my lawn, crazy kids," I'd proclaim :

-Every RTS after Dune II (Dec. 1992) is a clone of that game, so they should not exist.
-Every FPS since Wolfenstein 3-D (May 1992) is a ripoff. Get rid of them.

I don't do that though. It's no fun :) Part of the fun of being a now old fart PC gamer is seeing what inspirations other developers take from the source material and whether they can carve out something fun and at least a little bit unique.

fwiw, I own V:S and Soulstone Survivors (another V:S clone) and really neither has hooked me at all. V:S's graphics cause me uncomfortable eye strain.

The only V:S games so far to grab me were YEZS' demo and solo-developed Star Survivor, which is a top-down space shooter style game (strangely, I liked Star Survivor's free prologue demo more than the released/updated game to this point).

And I kind of like sci-fi themed Greedland's demo, in part because it does provide an option at run-start for manual aiming/firing if you prefer, but it lacks YESZ' optional squad aspect.

im with you Masterpeing, i just send an email to ford renault citroen mercedes ferrari porsche asking why did they put 4 wheels and one steering wheel on their cars why they did copy Joseph Cugnot car even if it was 3 wheels :d ?

[windezz]

Guys come on, OP was just trolling for fun, there's no way someone who licks up every dregs of unoriginal FPS trend would turn around and call out some indie game right...right?
