Somehow I don't like Vampire Survivors but love Rogue Genesia. I can't play it every day but once or twice a year I will spend 20 hours per week on it.

I like the build combinations, the graphics are neat and the game is greatly supported by the dev. Every time I launch it I see more content added to it!

Fairly standard Survivors-Like bolstered by a Slay The Spire-like progression structure. I love that you can save and quit mid-run, which fixes one of my major issues of the genre, where runs can just take way too long

neat. the upgrades are largely boring though, which is kinda a death sentence for a survivors-like

Solid for it's style, but there really feels like not much variance in 'great' builds.

Rogue Genesia is yet another "reverse shmup" inspired by Vampire Survivors with a few interesting twists. The game offers bite-sized levels in a map layout similar to Slay the Spire allowing the player to choose their adventure branch as you make progress to the "top" of the map where a major boss awaits.

Levels vary in objectives from defeating X amount of enemies to surviving X amount of minutes and upon successfully completing levels you get coins and a new card for your deck to improve upon existing skills, stats, and/or weapons. The graphics in this game are very interesting, offering a 2.5D look with nice lighting and particle effects that stand out from the typical sprite and retro look of other reverse shmup games out there.

Overall, this is an easy recommendation considering its low price point.
