    Thank you so much for covering our game! We really enjoyed watching you play and have such a positive response, especially having watched you play lots and lots of games in this genre. Your video helped us reach a lot of people and the feedback so far has been great and quite useful!

    Taking the Vampire Survivors formula and layering on more player agency, diablo-style loot and Hades style narrative delivery and boons sounds like a winning combination to me. This looks like a blast, and I will definitely be checking itout!

    Melee focused and manual attacking? Sounds great.
    Also that's some very pretty pixel art.
    Edit: after watching a bit more, I do wish they'd make manual attacks meaningfully different from auto attacks in other bullet heavens. Currently it looks like you'd want to spam attacks as fast as possible at all time, which is just auto attacks with extra steps.
    Otherwise this looks very promising for a demo.

    I really enjoy these Horde Survival games. Its also really nice to see all the different permutations and different mechanics being tried. I've wanted one that does an ARPG look/itemization system, so this one looks quite interesting for sure.

    Pretty sure the mage char has less hp/armor than the knight, thats why it looks like she takes more damage from hits, its either the hp bar doesn't represent the hp ammount correctly or ther is a hidden armor value.
