negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's innovative and fun, but there are some issues that makes it more frustrating to play so I can't recommend it unless these issues are fixed. 1. The RNG is too strong. In order to upgrade, every slot is just a gotcha machine. You spend gold to refresh what you can get... it's not bad if the options are limited. But no, there are too many options, making trying to roll the one you want very difficult. 2. There's no Combo-book like VS or any way to check the combos you discovered. Yes, even…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Of the 8 Bullet Heavens I own, so far, this is my least favorite but still fun to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the more enjoyable Vampire Survivors clones I have checked out. Compared to the original VS it has much better art, more unique characters, and shorter, more exciting levels. It also has a variety of interesting weapons and several synergies that can make you exponentially more powerful. It is somewhat easy, but should have enough content to keep you occupied long enough to justify its price point.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Roguelike with some funny powers&builds It's my forte of Rogue with a Chinese mythology spin to it that I can appreciate. I can't stand Vampire Survivors because it looks ugly to me even though paranormal stuff also fits my genre of likes. I dislike comparing one game with another but for the sake of similarity I ultimately love NWTL way more. All of the characters feel…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played for 20 hours and got all the achievements. I'm sure people could do it faster, but it was worth the time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This survivors-like game has some decent character art, some funny skills and an interesting skill synergy mechanic. However, once you understand the system, beat the first couple difficulties and max out the talent tree, the game becomes trivial. You'll spend a couple hours trying to find all the synergies and eventually just use the same builds every run. Resetting skills to upgrade them feels like Gacha, which gets very tiresome after a couple runs. The Endless difficulty introduces many…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For what its worth, the game is pretty solid. It takes less than 24 hours to achieve 100%. There are a few issues, too bad the devs seems to already wash their hands off this game. But there are no game broken bugs/glitches that made me want to uninstall the game. Would I recommend this? Yes, I would.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a value for money & fun game although English translation has yet to be fully completed. Update: 26/3 Seems like its fully translated.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm going to preface this review by stating that I am conflicted on recommending it. However it isn't because it's a bad game it's for the poor translation and English support making it difficult to figure out some of the things you need to do and the fact that the developers uploaded the games soundtrack to youtubes content ID system so most videos that could help you get taken down. This is another survivors clone with the twist being that everything is like 2.5d, The weapons and synergies…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is one of the bad clones, it gets so many things wrong about the vampire survivors formula 1. no addictive pickup animation 2. death animations look like the monster is still alive for 1-2 sec, not satisfying and actually confusing 3. I had a lightning spell but I couldnt even see whether it was proccing or hitting anything. This goes for most spells, it's just so weird. I had a purple upgraded spike thing and it only triggered extremely rarely and didnt even kill the creeps. That for a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not just a game. It’s a deeply philosophical simulation of modern life. You control a little guy who endlessly walks around, fights things he doesn’t understand, collects tiny rewards at great personal risk, upgrades equipment at a glacial pace, and repeats it all for... what, exactly? Money? Progress? A sense of purpose? Enemies are everywhere. Gear is expensive. Your gains feel meaningless. Every coin you pick up could cost you your life. I thought I came here to escape…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had to refund. The janky art style, the comic at the beginning intro especially, not my cup of tea. the game-play was the part i really did not enjoy, if the ui made more sense and there was a tutorial, maybe it would help, but the right side of the screen shows you can only have 5-6 items equipped at a time, it doesn't say you will loose the previous one if you buy another one for the same slot. It randomly gives you a combo item if they synergize together, but still take up the same amount…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the beginning and mid is fine, or in other words tolerable. if you ignore the meme quality stupidity. later on the game shows that it is imbalanced, with the blance never shifting to the player whatsoever. my latest run where i threw up my hands and finally said screw it? i have three revives, im revived and push S to go 'down' on the screen. it prioritized the enemy instead and the enemy casually shoves me into a crowd of its own. making the whole thing pointless like i never pushed the damn…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once you get past all of the shiny bells and whistles, its the same as any other horde survival. Much akin to a casino, itll get you hooked with all of its synergies, then repeatedly screw you over again and again because of the increasingly expensive reroll and disable options. Then, it starts buffing enemies speed and health so that if you dont get and/or keep synergies going, you'll just die. Once I recognize this pattern, i just dont wanna play anymore.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only a few combos are worth using, only 4 stages in the game and it is not fully translated so you are guessing at mechanics. Nothing is explained except in load screens. Not a bad game, but definitely needs work.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Easily one of the best VS clones, 10/10 love the artstyle
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I assume this game has been abandoned as it cashes EVERY TIME and achievements are incredibly bugged. Enjoyed it while it lasted though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10 to 15 minutes to kill? Yah I didn't see what killed me, either.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels loose and sloppy. There are other better options out there
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kind of good, but once i've got all the achievements and stuff, there's no other unique things other than the artstyle that makes me want to play even more, Overall 7/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I JUST LOVE IT! the game is amazing. yes, it's basically a clone of VP (Vampire Survivors - which I finished too) and yet!!! this beauty here have some great pros! first - the graphics and aesthetes of the characters and the overall quality of the game. second - the story line here (quite funny) third - you have an excellent grind here which you will enjoy - for sure! the game have his own unique vibe and I totally recommend it. especially if you coming from VP.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awful translation, which makes it illogical and sometimes unplayable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best game to waste my time, good graphics, a lot of pixels, nice job the dev team, hope you continue to deliver updates and translate the game in english ! I will happily continue to waste my time on this game :)

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →x-- 6/10 --x An average rougelike. I did have a ton of fun experimenting,
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →7.5 / 10 Fun, simple and cute art style Bullet hell Roguelike game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another survivorlike with an Asian flair to it. Pretty nice.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cute animation style. It reminds me of Bumbo. Spirit Hunter style play. Doesn't really work on Deck right now. It's a good game to turn off your brain with.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you can eat ♥♥♥♥
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have issue with the saved files and too bad can't retrieve the progress.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cute version of Vampire Survivors
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cried 3 tears when I was hit by Mortgage Attack in endless mode and my almost cleared debt got to 6 digits. Now it will never go away
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is goofy and fun. The music, though repetitive, is great. The start of the game seems a bit slow. I will admit I have a really hard time keeping the skills in my brain, but once you have unlocked all the synergies they give you hints what they match with afterwards. That seems to be the hardest part of this game is finding all the combos for skills, and then you can have fun mashing things. If you like all things in this genera like I do you will enjoy this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like Vampire Survivors, but cute.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has VERY little content compared to other VS clones. - the "skill tree" is very boring. It looks big, but actually has almost nothing special and you unlock the whole skill tree in just 4 hours. - characters hardly differ - maps are uninspired, few and repetetive - skills are good, but I don't really like how the game forces you to always replace your skills with other skills to unlock new synergies. I don't want to constantly change my skills every 20 seconds. - balancing is really…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is 50/50 to me. This game isn't bad but I'm not recommending it because there are other games of the genre that just do it better, a lot better. As some of the reviews mentioned already, the RNG of this game is REALLY high. The sense of progression is also sorely lacking, it feels more like getting your *** kicked over and over and over again rather than getting somewhere, even if you win. That's not to say that the game is too difficult but more like there are "stat" checks more than…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably the best VS iteration to date. Charming all around.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Poops with damage, say no more, buy buy buy
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another good Vampire Survivor clone.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →alright game just not my kind of thing you can play the exact same game for free on blooket
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty nice game overall I think. I like it that there are different characters with different stats. There are different strategies and builds you can go for each run. I think my only complaint with this game would be that the game is a bit too easy at this point even in nightmare difficulty, perhaps they can add another difficulty or make the game harder somehow? I don't know. There are some problems with the English translation but it is perfectly playable and understandable anyway so I see…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →游戏很好玩！很轻松简单！！ 画风很好。希望音乐🎵可以多点。还有希望提供像吸血鬼生产者一样加速功能。到后期基本不动后，挺无聊的。
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game after watching a Youtube video on it and that was at 730 pm i played until 430 am slept woke up then finished the mission i couldn't stay awake enough to win 8/10 some content only in Chinese so i cant read it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's aite not bad for a vampire survivors clone
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bullet hell as good as any. Getting all the achievements is easier then most. Some of them take a bit of actual planning. But its a fun bullet hell.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What other game allows you to dominate the world with hedgehogs, bulls, ducks and turds? ^_^
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun But the English translation isn't quite finished
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ideal game for short sessions
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty cool, it's another one of those mob horde roguelite games you see all over the place and in mobile game ads. The art style's neat, there's tons of attack combos, and the little character story things are pretty cool (despite being in Chinese.) Issues I've seen so far, very early-access-y: 1. Not much balance in attacks and weapons, some are a million times better than others. 2. Most of the characters are kinda "meh" 3. Most character music is really short, so you get a little 30-second…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game in the survival genre.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nice game, recommend to you
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is good. But need more content in future.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kinda fun once you know what to do. I've got some gripes about this game, but they didn't make me hate it. Stuff like there is a lot of weapon types and upgrades to consider without a banish system, which just makes every run a gacha-fest until you get what you want. Also, the boss chests are sometimes very meaningless and useless., and synergies are not well traceable in-game which is a shame. Still, it had enough charm to keep me farming for 100% achievements, which didn't feel tedious to do…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, managed to complete the storyline for each heroes. Had a lot of fun for its affordable pricing and it is very different from Vampire Survivor, finding out each different way to combine the weapon was so fun and enjoyable. Ran well and stable on M4 mac
