‣ 6/10 – Where’s the dawn at?

‣ Thoughts: People who have played Vampire Survivors will know what this game’s about. It does feel similar in many aspects but has a unique take on the mindless slot machine shooting. It does, however, lack the colorful explosions Vampire Survivors brings. At times, I found myself lost and confused due to everything being grey and dark. The only saving grace were the red obvious projectiles.

By far the strongest parts of 20 minutes till dawn are the characters and how they change the runs. Every playable character has a unique ability that alters the way you should play. They also work best with certain upgrades and weapons while sucking with others. This creates a small choice restriction when it comes to weapons, but it also makes the meta runs fun and strong.

Overall, I found this game to be a nice way to spend some time while planning my next move in life. It is exactly something you’d want to play while trying to waste time and it’s great. Sadly, the choice to do everything grey and dark makes the visual experience quite dull. The gameplay offers loads of upgrades, but you’ll be surprised how quickly it becomes repetitive.
