I know exactly which gameVampire Survivorsreminds me of and it’s Geometry Wars, which is a wonderful thing.
But it’s absolutely Geometry Wars in the way that really matters to me.
That thrilling, never-ending headlong pelt while fireworks go off around you.
Vampire Survivors packs that thrill.

Now, the not-being-in-control-of-your-attacks bit.
I did; I honestly thought the game was broken and restarted it, silly sausage.
But what happens here is the game attacks for you.
And there’s a lot to choose from.
There are all kinds of buffs to things like speed, armour, health regen and amount, too.
There’s loads - that’s only a fraction of what’s on offer.
What adds strategy is your ability to further improve each attack/ability each time you level up.
It’s in this way that you start thinking about builds.
Suffice to say that I’m struggling to put this game down.
It’s giving me the Castlevania slay-the-undead-masses fantasy in concentrated shots.
It’s no wonder the game has rocketed up the charts on Steam.
The real question is, can you survive until dawn?
