I don't like to compare games across franchises in my revfiews, but it's hard to review games in this fledgling genre without some comparison. I don't know where the "Bullet Heaven" style games got their true start, but it's inarguable that Vampire Survivors is what popularized them. From there, HoloCure refines the formula into something truly spectacular. Each character has a unique weapon, skills, and special/ultimate ability: this makes choice of character much more impactful than in Vampire Survivors, which often feels more like an aesthetic choice after a certain point. And with so many characters to choose from, HoloCure is a great place for experimentation. Also, the level one stage theme is way too catchy! Admittedly I don't know much about Hololive but this game is worth playing for the gameplay alone.
