Fun fact Vampire Survivors is a total rip off of a moblie game called Magic Survival a game that is honestly better but the weird korean dev refuse to port it to steam
The entire thesis of Vampire Suvivors is "What if we used the tactics that microtransaction games use to draw people in... But then made a game with absolutely no microtransactions".
@@Gl_3tchThe second part would be the actually fun part. As what he does is only take the fun parts of Gambling with noone of the "I can't afford Rent" by scamming addicts.
For anyone wondering about the chicken, this game is inspired by Castlevania and one of the running gags of that franchise is roast chicken in weird places, usually inside walls. Incidentally the bible and axe are operating pretty much identically to how they operate in Castlevania, the axe has a big arc when thrown and the bible circles around you to deal damage to anything near you. Holy water's not far off either and the whip is the traditional weapon in Castlevania.

@@adamoneill6663 knowing this developer not for long since the start of the game I have 100% it like 4 or 5 times and every time within a week a new update is dropped
I'm really happy I got to see this unfold on stream, it was so chaotic that it became good and that broke the game making you god (until you looked away and died). Nice to see that you are back from murica alive and somewhat sane. Now get ready for people throwing money at you.
How did you read my mind. I literally started playing this again last night (i had basically 100% for a good chunk but trying to kill death ended up really taking it outta me)
I recently got back into this game since I used to play it on Steam until my game broke and crashed constantly. Now I'm playing on Xbox, and I've been having fun, but God damn its just as brutal as I remember.
Thank you for starting me on Dead Cells! I just beat the tutorial and died to HotK in 1bc. You also made me start hades and Deep Rock Galactic too! You really have a great taste in games and i love your content.
Triple-A spends millions to not make their gambling machines look like gambling. (Yes, they also make their money back but lets ignore that for a second) And some indie developer said ,"Here, shiny lights and pretty sounds to stimulate your rodent brain. Go nuts!" And it works!
If you like this game, then you might as well check Holocure, it is about the same type but you can lock the direction you are attacking which gives a better control on the character. Also there is like 20ish character.
I started playing this game a while ago, and honestly, it's fun! It envolves no money, and it's satisfying to play through when luck's on your side! The "endings" I found were also rather cathartic, like finding the Yellow Sign, killing the Red Reaper, and defeating the Ender. Also, this game has an area called The Bone Zone, and I just can't get over that, this is perfection.
It is extremely insane that THIS game founded a new gaming genre that inspired so many unique but also similar games. (Like Brotato, Holocure, Bounty of One, etc., etc.)
6 AM in the morning, dried up eyes hurting like needles, throat not functioning anymore from the dehydration: One more...just 15 mins... more gambel...oh no, not my charger, please mom, PLEASE!
another good thing about vampire survivors is that the unlocks are (mostly) entirely possible to do without guides. And the game got a funny reward for getting all the base game stuff too.
Wimdy A game I fully recommend is "Have a Nice Death". It takes the rough-like bullshit style of dead cells/ and the deep combat style of hollow knight. I know you love those games and don't find them really fucking annoying
I never saw it as a slot machine, but I did recognize early on that it's got the same bubble wrap, popcorn, Lays potato chip qualities that keep you playing again and again. Killing stuff even comes with a satisfying pop sound.
As someone who's already been through the ringer with this game and lost countless hours to it, it's just so much fun watching everyone else fall into the exact same addiction I'd only have just finished crawling out of, at the time this video was released
Vampire Survivors is like an enterence level drug. At first I've though it's pretty fun, little game to kill some time, but now I have 200h on clock and thanks to low price of games inspired by it and recent steam sale, games like those are the only thing I play. Trust me kids, drugs are not fun, stay away from those or your brain will stop processing dopamine without funny noises and flashing lights.
This game is what could be if those stupid pay-to-win mobile games actually made something that wasn't designed with the exclusive content of separating you from your money.
I did buy this game in early access, and i loved the heck out of it (still do) it made me go "one more round" .... i remember the time you needed to know what to match with the counter part for the EVO and now its really starter friendly ♥ Not to forget about the "Your vampire is in another castle" Mario moment :D But what i think is the best, is that the dev. really talked and listen to the ppl that did buy the game and gave so much work into his game to make it even better, each update was only Positiv and the Price to buy this game is so cheap i felt really bad to only buy it once. Anyway, i love this game (and the video :D )
And as of recently they just released the 3rd of 3 banger dlcs that each cost 2 DOLLARS THIS MAN IS GIVING THE CONTENT AWAY, and it’s whole theme on this 3rd outing, an among us cross over. Funny part is it SLAPS AND THE CHARACTERS AND ITEMS FUCKING ROCK
For those who want something similar but with more engagement and a bit less dopamine-baiting, 20 Minutes Until Dawn has a very similar gameplay loop... but it's a twin-stick shooter, so you have to actually aim your main attack to really get anywhere You do get some automated minion options scattered about the levelup upgrades, but they generally can't carry your lazy ass as far as your trusty firearm can There's a bunch of weapons and characters to mix and match too, it's great
If you wondered why you had 3 King Bibles for a second there.... When you gain an attack or level one up, it immediately casts. You had 3 King Bibles for a second because one of them was casted before levelled up, and the other two spawned immediately after. Thus, three.
I've only got around half a dozen achievements left and I'm still as addicted as I was when I picked it up. About the only criticism I have is the complete lack of explanation for anything but that does have some charm of its own. Also it's a fantastic game for android if you have a controller, thanks to the Backbone and Gamesir VampS has turned into my favorite on the go game.
Using predatory psychological tactics and then not taking advantage of anyone is the perfect combination. It's really fun, you eventually get bored, realize that you've been playing a game where you walk in circles for 30 minutes, put the game down and live your life, pick it up again and the cycle repeats... except you can still pay your rent for the month. It's the perfect game.
This feels like a game for people who play tons of difficult games and just want to feel rewarded and happy outside of feeling the satisfaction of achievements
Ive got to the level in this game where I genuinely can’t use some items Because all the golden eggs I have on my main character Insta crash the game or make it unplayable when they activate (which is always because my cooldowns are so low
Hopefully he'll make a video on what happens when you have everything unlocked, have all the items you need and how you get so OP that the game starts to break
bring this man brotato... I went through this exactv experience about a month before this, that lasted about 2 weeks before I tried brotato... It's just kind of better
yeah was surprised to learn magic survival came out first since i always assumed vampire survivors started this genre of games personally prefer vampire survivors theres just more content and stuff
I have never seen a game be so bold as too use actual gambling techniques to entice the player and get away with it, im already in love
I suspect it's fine as there's no microtransactions.
Funny thing is there's no real gambling. The contents of chests is tied to the items that you've already picked up.

To put it shortly : if mobile games were actually good

It is extremely insane that THIS game founded a new gaming genre that inspired so many unique but also similar games. (Like Brotato, Holocure, Bounty of One, etc., etc.)
