All of the Vampire Survivor and off shoot games inspired me to play through Crimsonland for the first time in nearly 20 years. I think there are better options for twin-stick shooters and arena survival games these days (many of them by Crimsonland's creators!) but it's still a solid experience and the nostalgia hits hard. None of the more modern games I've played focus so heavily on limited-time power ups, so it still has an enjoyable, frantic style all its own.
I'll probably chip away at the hardcore levels and survival mode achievements here and there for a while yet.

Point stick at bug.
Actually, I played it when it was released back in a day: 2010 or so.
So when I launched Vampire Survivors for the first time I was surprised at how it reminds me of this game. It’s funny to read reviews now and see a comparison in a reversed order.
The game still holds up but I take half a star for an abysmal gamepad controller on a PS5. The aim always reverts to a default position so I have to pull a stick all the time in order to keep it under control. Such a stupid thing.
