Neat RPG-style rendition of a survivor shooter dragged down entirely by numbers.
+ other playable characters can be recruited as followers each run
+ clear stat sheets and indicators for item synergies
+ timed guides encouraging movement rather than stationary grinding
+ appealing world map level selection and side quests
+ well-decorated backgrounds given the mediocre pixel art
+ quick access to music selection
- very few gameplay differences between runs
- horrendous balancing with some weapons and stats (magic) vastly outperforming others regardless of investment

The feel of the game isn't too bad for a Vampire Survivors-like. Unfortunately, the balance is so far off being reasonable that I don't think this will ever end up being a satisfying experience. There are many weapons, that, even when fully evolved and maxed (20 levels), are significantly outperformed by better weapons with only a handful of levels spent on them. Others, like Magic Missile Swarm, just frequently outright miss enemies. It makes the unlocking process repeatedly disappointing, and that's a substantial part of the fun in this sort of a game for me.
I like the concept, so I kept playing the game after running into a few of these issues hoping that it was just an oversight, but it was consistent. I don't like leaving negative reviews for early access indie games, but the issues here should have been obvious by just thinking about numbers for a second while coding. Otherwise, they should stick out very quickly with any level of playtesting. I'll check back for a major revision, but, barring that, you'd be better served playing any of a dozen better made games in this style.

Acho que a informação mais importante pra mim sobre Elemental Survivors é que ele ainda está em acesso antecipado e tem muito tempo para se aprimorar. O conceito de trazer elementos de RPGs tradicionais para os bullet heavens é bem interessante — até mesmo se pensar na aceitação do jogo para um público que não se interessou por Vampire Survivors — mas muitas das ideias podem ser melhor aproveitadas com mais iterações. Ainda não é um jogo imperdível (e talvez nunca seja), mas ele tem potencial para ser uma porta de entrada para os céus de balas que estão conquistando tantos jogadores (e esse que vos fala) pelo mundo.
