Vampire survivors haters read this review. If you like survivors games, you'll probably love this. If you hate them, it may still be worth it for the novelty. I passionately hate vampire survivors and its infecting tropes. They all play almost completely the same, they are mindless, take about no skill, and hide vital fundamentals behind meaningless grind. I could go on. The genre is truly cancer and they typically innovate about zero things. With that out of the way... Boneraiser Minions (and the dev's other games) has such high quality world building, humor and writing that their flavor alone carries the game. The game has all the things I expected from this diseased genre. But it also has actual writing, character, and effort put into the details and for some reason this is rare. And it's so well done that I didn't feel too bad slogging through the brainless grindy gameplay to see the jokes and characters. As a side note, the pixel art and music are obviously high quality especially compared to most of the other crappy survivor games. The gameplay itself does have some decent minor innovations next to similar games. As a survivors hater I was very surprised I felt ok wasting time on this. Though after 10 hours, all the rest of the 'content' is basically just grinding the same thing for 100 more hours... yuck. Still, this is the only survivors-like game I have been able to rate positively and that should mean something.

This game is so good. It shames the genre by comparison, just so much more fun. It really feels like the developers tapped into what gamers want, nailing build options, meta-progression and even the audio and visual tweaks. Not to mention the nearly endless variety of minions, spells and relics available to unlock and utilize. It literally checks every box on my list of things I love about roguelike and vamp survivor-type games. Then it tops things off with a massively original game world centered on a unique mechanic for the genre delivered via a ton of humor and style. Did I mention a bunch of game modes and modifiers to also unlock via game play? Yep, that too. It is that damn good. No brainer recommend X1000!!! Get this game.

This is a light, fun game with a lot of meta-progression. You can die pretty fast, but you don't have a lot of input beyond making good item/unit choices and running away. The result is a game that's occasionally intense, but not cerebral. I think most people would enjoy this, although it will quickly become a once-a-month kind of game.

Probably one of the most content packed game in the whole survivor-like genre. Got this gem august 2022 while it was still in EA and I can't get over the fact that the dev till this day keeps constantly updating it, be it by fixes, qol changes or new content. A true labor of love. Some people have sunk 100/200 hours in this game, which is completetly possible, so if you're really into this genre of games, don't hesitate and support this dev by getting this gem.

It's well made but the graphical style, even with the accessibility options, is impossible for me to enjoy. Every run just ends up a completely impossible to understand mess of purple. Worth it to support the dev but unfortunately not for me.
