There are so many quirky game festivals. Previously, there was an 'Airplane and Train Game Festival' specifically promoting airplane and train games. This time, Steam has introduced a new BulletHeaven Game Festival, featuring games similar to Vampire Survivors. Many survivor-like games are participating in the event, and new games like Pest Apocalypse and Darkchaser are being launched.
So Vampire Survivors has been dominating me for a month or two now, I really love it. Any recommendations?
I’d recommend Brotato. It’s the same game style, but with a simplistic map and more complex upgrade system. Also it’s only five bucks
Brotato is free on epic right now
Yeah, but screw Epic.
A free game is a free game my dude
You're paying with your own data. Ye ye "steam does that too" or "everyone does that" but they have Chinese smoll pp backing them
Which data would that be, exactly?
I'm not a fan of tencent or china exactly but it's not like the data they're collecting is precious to me at all. If they think there's value in a bunch of nonsense that only allows generalisations then I'm fine with that if I get something from it, like free games.
You are part of the problem though.. They're ruining gaming on PC and you're helping them by signing up to their site and actively collecting free games, did you know that?
And valve are instead the saviour? I have no allegiances when it comes to platforms. I play all consoles and use all storefronts.
Out of all platforms I've had more grievances with steam lately when it comes to customer support and refunds.
Valve made possible gaming on Linux for example. What about lil Tim? What did he do? Divided gamers on PC because he wanted a share in the PC gaming market
I'm not discrediting valve for all the good they've done but they're not holier then thou. And it's not like I pick epic over steam. I buy on steam way more due to convenience, but I have to also be smart with money at times and just buy where it's cheapest and take as much free stuff as I can get.
Also "dividing" the pc market is not a bad thing. Why would you want one company with a monopoly? They should have competition, it's how we get good customer focused values in the products and services we use.

Problem is: Lil Tim doesn't offer anything good and "free games" are not enough. I wonder how many games you played from the ones you collected. Don't answer, I don't care.

You're still part of the problem. You're the reason why they can keep doing what they do
If doing what they are doing is occasionally giving us cheaper games and making it so steam has to up their game on sales again then yeah, I'm glad to be part of that problem. You're welcome.
Don't complain when you'll lose access to your account and they basically tell you to fuck off because for "security reasons" they can't recover it :)
Actually, the percentage of drm free games on Epic is pretty high, sometimes the same game will be drm free on epic and require drm on steam. Games that do require epics drm though can fuck off (especially since their is no offline mode). List
Who cares? Fuck Epic
Went ahead and snagged it, thanks!
Holocure is pretty great
Deep rock galactic survivor is pretty fun
If you meant another Bullet Heaven, Halls of Torment is pretty good. It’s Bullet Heaven with a giant slather of Diablo gameplay-wise, without the build complexity.
I've seen bullet heaven mentioned once or twice recently. What's the difference between bullet heaven and bullet hell?
So in BulletHells you've got a ton of shit coming at you that you've got to dodge carefully, right?
In BulletHeavens, all that chaos comes from you. You run around as all your attacks go off constantly, getting more extreme as time goes by, and hundreds of enemies get deleted in seconds.
That definitely sounds way more fun. And the description makes perfect sense too. Thanks for explaining.
You're welcome!
Vampire Survivors has been absolutely owning my free time for weeks now, it's so much goddamn fun and there is so much to unlock and use it's amazing. Just when I thought I learned pretty much everything, I unlocked something and opened up a whole new game's worth of content.
It's the ultimate dopamine generator
I call it the gaming equivalent of Tiktok. No story, no permanence, instant gratification.
