There are so many quirky game festivals. Previously, there was an ‘Airplane and Train Game Festival’ specifically promoting airplane and train games. This time, Steam has introduced a new BulletHeaven Game Festival, featuring games similar to Vampire Survivors. Many survivor-like games are participating in the event, and new games like Pest Apocalypse and Darkchaser are being launched.
I’m not a fan of tencent or china exactly but it’s not like the data they’re collecting is precious to me at all. If they think there’s value in a bunch of nonsense that only allows generalisations then I’m fine with that if I get something from it, like free games.
You are part of the problem though… They’re ruining gaming on PC and you’re helping them by signing up to their site and actively collecting free games, did you know that?
If you meant another Bullet Heaven, Halls of Torment is pretty good. It’s Bullet Heaven with a giant slather of Diablo gameplay-wise, without the build complexity.
So in BulletHells you’ve got a ton of shit coming at you that you’ve got to dodge carefully, right?
In BulletHeavens, all that chaos comes from you. You run around as all your attacks go off constantly, getting more extreme as time goes by, and hundreds of enemies get deleted in seconds.
Vampire Survivors has been absolutely owning my free time for weeks now, it’s so much goddamn fun and there is so much to unlock and use it’s amazing. Just when I thought I learned pretty much everything, I unlocked something and opened up a whole new game’s worth of content.

So Vampire Survivors has been dominating me for a month or two now, I really love it. Any recommendations?
Deep rock galactic survivor is pretty fun
deleted by creator
I’d recommend Brotato. It’s the same game style, but with a simplistic map and more complex upgrade system. Also it’s only five bucks
Brotato is free on epic right now
Yeah, but screw Epic.
A free game is a free game my dude
You’re paying with your own data. Ye ye “steam does that too” or “everyone does that” but they have Chinese smoll pp backing them
Which data would that be, exactly?

Went ahead and snagged it, thanks!

Holocure is pretty great
I’ve seen bullet heaven mentioned once or twice recently. What’s the difference between bullet heaven and bullet hell?
So in BulletHells you’ve got a ton of shit coming at you that you’ve got to dodge carefully, right?
In BulletHeavens, all that chaos comes from you. You run around as all your attacks go off constantly, getting more extreme as time goes by, and hundreds of enemies get deleted in seconds.
That definitely sounds way more fun. And the description makes perfect sense too. Thanks for explaining.
You’re welcome!

It’s the ultimate dopamine generator
I call it the gaming equivalent of Tiktok. No story, no permanence, instant gratification.
