This is the type of game that was made with pure passion - the devotion of the creators bleed through every aspect of the game. The beautiful pixel art, amazing music, and especially the new, unique mechanics they created that build on it's inspiration's foundation weaves together in a truly great fangame.

I am not a huge hololive fan. I have seen some Korone and Gura clips, a Matsuri clip here and there - but despite this Holocure is simply the best execution of the genre pioneered by Vampire Survivors. Item evolutions that are more complex and branching, character-specific skills (and there's so many characters!), a whole new side part of the game that is full of minigames and other things to do - it's honestly amazing just how chockful this little game is, and yet at no point do the mechanics feel overwhelming or cumbersome. It is simple at its core, but executed better than I ever expected from a fan-game. These are things AAA titles with million dollar budgets get wrong. It is incredibly impressive what they did here.

Also, non-predatory gacha is always so much fun and is way too rare in today's games.
