Discussion Survivor-like games' distinct appeal

[leonokarin]

Recently, I have been hooked on the survivor-like game such as Brotato, Vampire Survivors, Dark chaser: Battle tide, and the Nova Drift . It's simple and fun, and there's a certain strategy, low price at the same time can enjoy playing for a long time.
Roguelike and survivor-ilke, perfect combination lol

I feel very lucky to be a PC gamer during this genre becoming wildly popular. Never heard of Darkchaser, added it to my wishlist, thank you! I had Nova Drift on there for a long time, but I must have removed it at some point. I wonder why?
The price point for these games is a huge plus. I like to think that there are some AAA studio heads who are just gagging mad at the sales numbers and longevity of these games.

The lower pricing is definitely a big plus for games in this genre, and mostly of them can run on lower end PC.

I bought Vampire Survivors because of the price but I was sceptical about the gameplay, but I got hooked. Other nice point about these games is how each one try to put some spin in the formula because of how simple it is.

I'm currently waiting for Halls of Torment 1.0 release.

i think i've played (or am playing) the majority of those (not just those listed, all of them, lol) ... and they're all great!

They just released Vampire Survivor on Apple Arcade, great to have on commutes while listening to podcast.

I try to avoid these games because I know they will absorb all my gaming time like a sponge.

Vampire Survivor is awesome on the deck. I like completely breaking the game. Just tickles a certain urge that I have from time to time. The DLC is kinda weird though. I mean Contra ?
