Feels like a good time to shelve this, maybe I’ll come back to Vampire Survivors eventually. This made for a great touch screen phone game while I held my newborn to get her to fall asleep, and I put in 15 hours or so over various nights the last few weeks. On the surface, Vampire Survivors is one of the simplest games I’ve ever played- you see your 8-bit style character from a 3/4 perspective and literally only control the direction they move in, as hordes of thousands of enemies constantly chase you down. How long can you survive? Move into the right spot and you’ll automatically deploy your weapons; kill enough enemies and you’ll get to select more weapons and upgrades as you slowly become a walking bringer of death. I went from not enjoying this for a couple hours, to figuring out how to play it and loving it for about ten, til I finally hit a wall and seemed to be getting nowhere about halfway through the game. I’ve experimented with lots of different setups and the further I get from Genarro the more fruitless runs I’ve had, killing my interest. I think I’ll come back to this again at some point, but I won’t force it.
