I just realized why I am so into this particular genre. It's an evolution, or more accurately, an offshoot of the shmup genre I am already so fond of. I've always been a huge fan of arcade and 16bit era shmups, and this kind of game delivers on oll the same lizard brain check boxes with the addition of rpg systems and light crafting elements. It is also interesting how the majority of these types of games are still using sprite based graphics, and I expect this type of game is not just a flash in the pan, but just the prototype for what it will become in the near future.


Just picked up Halls of Torment, 20 Minutes Till Dawn, and the VS dlc from the Steam sale

Humanity has had a good run in terms of -Concentrating-.

But it's time that we must de-solution for the sake of planetary balance.

From the what we eat, to energy use, all aspects of pleasure seeking need to have a severe Ecological capacity factor for the next century if we are to survive.

It's tempting phinix, but tp4 had serious eye-problems playing this game and had to stop, it was to the point where tp4 had to use eye-drops constantly.

tp4 had to use eye-drops constantly.

You are using "lubricating" eye drops, aren't you?
They cost triple the price but are 1000% better.

Actually now that we're on mobile games anyway, why are the games NEVER like they actually show in the ads?! Why don't they just make those actual games and not the fake **** that takes up 99% of the actual gameplay?!

I know you asked this ages ago, but it's because these mobile game companies just pay for ads that some company makes, very few make their own ads, which is a lot of the time, you can see different games having similar ads. They mainly spend their money on advertising so they can get as many people to watch as many ads as possible. Some of these companies purposely mislead people because the games are really basic, such as a generic match 3 or clash of clans clone so they purposely mislead in order to make people think that it isn't a candy crush clone, and a semi decent game which takes more money, as these games are only made to money not to make a game. (which actually works really well)

Mobile game advertising is an extremely weird but interesting topic, basically using everything advertising tactic in the book, along with just straight up lying in order to get ad revenue. It's sustainable because enough people play them so that they still make ad revenue. And that they haven't been taking to court/taking down because it would be a waste to, it's not like these companies are taking money from people, they are just using them to make money along with that it is extremely quick to set up these operations.

Got a lot of this info from this article and some reddit posts interesting stuff - https://maf.ad/en/fake-mobile-game-ads-advertisers/

Side note I think everyone else has said this but it looks really fun and addicting. It seems to have a similar structure to a game I played for a bit called devil daggers, really fun fps where you had to run around and survive in an arena, that was addicting but really hard.

Vsurvivor is like crack-cocaine if you're susceptible.  Tp4 is 9999% suscept,  several days, no sleep, mountain d00, top ramen packets all over the floor,  electric stove, portable mattress,

-only left the room to pee.
-it was all consuming.

Despite the obvious physical harm this game has caused, Tp4 still thinks about playing it, But he mustn't.

The trailer on steam says "just one more run" and the 2nd and 4th review on steam refer to it like a hard drug so I believe you lmao.

A very interesting read, thanks!

I compare it favorably to shoot em ups, as a big shmup fan. I think this survivor genre is a natural evolution or offshoot of bullethell shmups for a more casual playstyle.
