question - is this a twin-stick shooter? Or a Vampire Survivors "auto-battler"?

[BlackjackGT]

I can't quite tell if Slime 3K is a twin-stick/top down shooter, or more like another Vampire Survivors "Auto-battler" (this genre has practically consumed the Steam store).

Hey there!

So the thing is that, just like in twin-stick shooters, you aim with your weapons, and projectiles fly in the direction you choose. At the same time, you will have a bunch of different guns, there will be a *bleep*-ton of enemies coming at ya, and the gameplay will revolve around creating your own build.

So, to answer your question, it's going to be a little bit of both.

Thanks! I guess I just meant whether we manually aim/fire or not?

I'm not against VS type games, although I think Steam is flooding with way too many carbon copy clones. Yet Another Zombie Survivors is one I'm looking forward to.

But I am always looking for more traditional twin stick shooters in terms of manually aiming/firing at the enemies, monsters etc. :)

Anyway, i've wishlisted. :)

Yup, you do those things manually. I hope I answered your question!

Looks good...not sure I'm down to buy my 6th vampire survivor knock off though...I guess if it's priced like others I'd be down.

I think we're passed the "knock-off" phase and are fully into the "-like" phase. This is a whole genre, and there have been some really unique takes on it already.

I felt the same way. I was excited to try it out but after like 15 mins of playing I felt a disappointed. Do i really want another Vampire Survivor game. If this game can make it self unique maybe yes. Also comes down to price point too. Its not a knock on the game.

Great! Because this game is literally designed for handhelds and steamdeck. Also options for auto aim/similar thing would be nice accesability for those that struggle

You can create autoaim builds but there are far too many manual aim abilities that I truly hope it doesnt happen. I struggle with keeping track of the mouse cursor and still dont want autoaim when aimable abilities and the strategies they create exist.

just to clarify there are autoaim abilities already present in the game and I am sure more to come.

I dunno I'm just thinking of people that play with one hand

Trying this on my ROG Ally. Disappointed that there's no controller support yet.

[George | tinyBuild]

We'll make sure the controller support is added in one of the upcoming updates.

Was going to refund soon as I noticed controller support wasn't in... as games like these are kinda lame on keyboard. Hope that update comes soon!
