To hunt vampires, you'll need guns. Lots of guns. Mow down hordes of undead creatures by stacking your guns into absurd, over-the-top builds. Unleash your firepower and survive the mayhem in this Roguelite Survivors FPS.
The developers have taken the core loop of the "survivors" genre and translated it into a thrilling first-person shooter experience. Rather than the typical top-down, arena-based gameplay, players navigate linear, corridor-style levels filled with hordes of undead enemies.
The central hook is the ability to equip up to 14 different firearms simultaneously. As players progress, they can collect and stack a wide variety of weapons, from classic revolvers to exotic "holy water hoses." This allows for the creation of over-the-top, absurdly powerful loadouts that players can use to mow down endless waves of foes.
To supplement the sheer number of weapons, the game offers a deep roster of firearm types, each with unique behaviors and strengths. Players can mix and match these to craft synergistic builds, combining weapons that complement each other. An extensive upgrade system further empowers players to customize and enhance their loadouts over the course of a run.
While the core loop of killing enemies may sound straightforward, the developers have layered in additional challenge and strategy. Enemies move and attack aggressively, forcing players to constantly reposition and react to threats. Environmental hazards and boss encounters also require careful positioning and tactical use of the player's firepower, creating an engaging, high-intensity gameplay loop.
The game features a robust progression system, with both run-to-run meta-progression and character-specific skill trees. As players unlock new weapons, upgrades, and characters, they can experiment with different playstyles and strategies, keeping each run feeling fresh. The Roguelite structure also ensures that no two runs are exactly the same, further enhancing the replayability.
Despite being in Early Access, the game has already garnered very positive reviews from players. Many praise the unique blend of classic FPS and survivors-like mechanics, as well as the satisfying weapon stacking and customization. Reviewers also highlight the high-octane, challenging gameplay and the potential for future content and improvements.
