    I bought this game because it was so cheap and had good reviews but I really don’t get the hype. I got maybe 2 hours playtime before realizing it wasn’t for me

        Yeah I mean it’s a better value than a six pack at least lmao. I’m just not into roguelikes or whatever the fuck this genre is called

      I think it took me a little longer than 2 hours to really start to get the hang of how to build good stuff. The more I played the more fun I had

        I’ve tried similar games I’m just not into the genre I guess. I gave Hades a chance for much longer due to its critical acclaim and I did not enjoy it. I get that there’s a progression, and I don’t even play games for the story, but I expect a little more than the same gameplay loop over and over again just with upgrades

          When I played Hades, I enjoyed it, recognized how well it was made and found a lot of interesting things in it, but the core of it just didn’t hook me.

      That’s my only complaint about Vampire Survivor. The surface is boring. I churned out twice, thinking “I don’t get what people see in this”. Then I watched a Let’s Play and said “that’s not the game I played”.

      So I went back to it, spent several hours wondering if I was just wasting my time… and then then suddenly it clicked and now I’m almost at 100 hours played.

      Have you found any unique items? Unlocked any maps? Evolved anything? IMO, the game begins with Tarot, peaks with the first applause (spoiler free hint that VS fans will recognize).
