This is a very good Vampire Survivors like game. That is the shortest way to give the base description.

Basic Formula is that you Start with a Weapon and Level Ups give Weapon or Tome level ups and that is the primary loop. For Killing enemies you get Gold for spending in that run, and you earn Silver for between run improvements and unlocks.

The Characters interact with the environment in various ways, up to one of them basically having limited flight.

A very good Survivors game, though I really wish there was a better name for the genre at present. The enemies are varied and scale well, to my impression. The Difficulty grows well. At least for me, I needed to spend some coins at the between stage upgrades and get lucky before I was able to beat Stage 3 on normal. I'm just starting onto the Hard Difficulty versions to grind and get the upgrades. With 2 characters still locked, I'm in for a good time!

This is a very simple game but I find it very fun for what it is. The Models are cute the characters have a simple motivation. It's very good!

I'm surprised I am enjoying the new features! It is a fun one

This is a really solid mix of tower defense and active rail shooter elements. I Really like the solid game play and I will likely continue to max out equipment and achievements. It was surprising to find a real game that I want to play in this.

That said, it is a great tune of sexy elements to a game. I understand that some of the elements will be a turn off. I like it for what it is and I enjoy the game and the positive fun attitude held in the levels and between them.

I am giving my recommendation here, but it is tentative. I think I only played on "easy" but I was still defeated a couple times.

In general I would not say that the combat is viable or demanding enough to be engaging. I was able to get a +12 shield quiet easily and I never had significant concern on damage taken until endgame when I had a room where 6 monsters swarmed at once. I survived and defeated that room quite easily.

The requirements for friendship was fun and I could recommend that on the basics. But at this point, I do not believe I am interested enough to go through and befriend the monster girls I missed before deciding to call it a run. I'm not disappointed with my time here, but I was wanting to move on to my next game near the end.

This is a simple style, but absolutely a work of love! The game here is solid. I haven't been able to complete the second floor and win the game, but I am liking the runs so far! It's got an interesting mix of mechanics. You need to plan for the late game where you need to manage all enemies. I haven't figured it all out.

It's a P game. The game play is adequate, nothing to write home about.

The Voice Talent is where I would say this is excellent! Sure there are some volume level problems, but that seems to be a couple conversations rather than the full game not having any determination.

I would say it's worth the time, but know what you're getting into.

It is rough compared to the game my mind compares it to. It does a lot of things similar to Hades but does not have the polish. There is one relic that starts with improving movement by 15% and that ends up having a much better feel in my opinion.
I've played for 3 hours according to the game and there is a similar system of Zones and Bosses to each section as Hades. I don't know if I just found some broken setups but on my 3rd or 4th run I blasted through the first boss and ended up going through the first 3 bosses. I think I died to the 4th and I think the 5th is meant to be a "Successful Run" or something similar. There are a lot of upgrades so I don't know if I was suppose to get that far that quick.
The two ways of improving are taking in blood and leveling up or turning the blood into Gems and buying artifacts or restorative stuff. To my understanding the Artifacts are pretty random and will not lean into your build. I think it encourages switching up your weapons and skill to complement the artifacts you gained, but if that's the case it isn't signposted.

I'm only 3 hours in. It seems to me like its going to be a shorter game, somewhere in the 12 to 20 hour completion time. There's mechanics similar to the Souls-Like play style, but it's not very souls like. I would recommend getting a grip with using a couple ranged attacks and following up with melee as a general rule of thumb. You can do a lot to avoid damage in melee, but using your mana to hit from a distance is going to be recommended.
