Tra una run di #bluePrince e l'altra (gioco consigliatissimo) mi sto rilassando ultimamente con #vampireSurvivors, ma soprattutto mi sto godendo #cassetteBeasts che - nonostante alcuni difetti - mi ha riacceso un po' la passione verso i pokémon-like (ha senso chiamarlo così?) e la pixel art FATTA BENE.

Il mondo di CB è pieno di carattere, i puzzle ambientali sono interessanti, la trama mi ricorda un misto di Digimon e .hack. In più è tanto curato in piccoli dettagli.

Consigliatissimo!

Vampire Survivors is a top-down pixel-art roguelite survival shoot-em-up.

I'd seen a few people on social media mentioning Vampire Survivors approvingly, and as it was the first game of Epic's Daily Christmas Giveaways, I'd grabbed it.

Playnite's header artwork didn't give away that it was a pixel-art game, which wouldn't have stopped me from playing it, but might have put me off picking it as my first game of the year.

That would have been my loss, because Vampire Survivors' gameplay loop almost immediately overcame my resistance to pixel-art.

You start out with one character unlocked. It's an auto-shooter, so all you need to do is kill mobs, avoid other mobs, and collect crystals & gold dropped by the dead mobs to level up.

Levelling up, gives you a choice between 3-4 weapon or defence addition or upgrade options to choose from. Occasionally, a boss mob will show up; kill it and it will drop a chest, which has gold, and 1-3 upgrades, but apparently can have 5 upgrades, too.

The runs are relatively short, and you can use the gold collected to upgrade your character, or unlock other characters with different skills.

It has that "just one more run" juice in spades. So much for "play for 15 minutes and write my review". Almost two hours later, I only quit out because my child was asking for help with their PC.

When I got home this afternoon, I ended up sinking another half hour into it before my NYE exhaustion caught up with me, and I'm tempted to open it up again now.

Vampire Survivors is:

Okay, I guess if I had to pick a single phrase to describe Vampire Survivors, it would be "Unapologetically escalative."

Which sounds so much like a @jimsterling quote that I probably stole it from her accidentally, but still.

The game always has more. And it doesn't force it upon you, it dangles it like a sweet candy upon a fishing line, saying, "You can take this or not, it's up to you."

And sometimes you're like, "Nah, I'll just do Mad Forest," and the game's like, "That's fine, here are some characters you can experiment with, oh, and there's a wizard you can buy golden eggs from now," and I really think it's unfair that such an inexpensive work has such a large body of content when AAA games have nothing but the same grind with the same archetypes and the same damn weapons.

=== Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel ===

This was an easy one. Jotunnslayer is basically #VampireSurvivors, but with nice graphics and a nordic theme. Instead of random weapons you gain the aid of Nordic gods with each level up. Otherwise, the principle is the same: tons and tons of enemies rush towards you, trying to kill you, while you try to stay alive.

However, the player mainly only moves around. Damage is dealt by divine or mortal attacks that are triggered automatically whenever the cooldown is gone. Your skill and the combination of powers is decisive for victory or death.

And to make things more complicated, you have tasks to solve each level, in order to summon the main boss at the end. A game with many losses before you become a real fighter yourself. I absolutely love it.

Screenshot from Jotunnslayer. The character is a ranger, who fights the enemies with his bow. Skeletons are rushing towards him. Dead enemies sometimes drop XP crystals. There is a ghost wolf hunting enemies for him, and a green wall cast by the god Loki who supports him.
