The game that started off a sudden craze and lots of clones, Vampire Survivors 1.6 is out now adding in local co-op along with moving over to the Unity game engine.

    Ngl I wasn’t all that interested in this game, but with local coop mode? The idea of just chillin with my wife on the couch watching numbers go up together does have an appeal to it.

      It’s more than watching numbers go up, it’s absolutely more than a clicker because positioning, upgrade path, and when to use abilities are very important

        True. I’ve watched streamers play it, and I’m being overly reductive, but I guess what I mean is that it seems like a good game to zone out to and just get into that “flow” state.

          I worded that poorly, I meant when you pick up one time use power ups like the exp magnet or the enemy freeze.

    So happy they migrated to the new engine. Previously i was getting single digit fps near the 25 minute mark and now it’s smooth :)

    Woop, remote play together also. So you can play with anyone else on Steam, the game runs on your PC and they connect in.

      The developer worked designing slots for the gambling industry before.

      Part his game mechanics are really addictive as they are similar to how people gets addicted to gambling (lootboxes, coins, spins, colorful lights, win animations, sounds similar to slots machines).

        It’s a fun cheap game when you have 20 minutes to kill with no added bs in forms of ads, microtransactions or fomo ¯\(ツ)/¯
