Witchcraft Survivors

A very mediocre "Survivorslike" game. It stays very true to the original formula - you don't get to aim or anything, it just fires off your bullets. It's a typical example for a "neutral" recommondation. You only get 6 chars in total, all of them themed around one element (fire, water, dark, etc). It doesn't have the split between "weapons" and "passives" like Vampire Survivors has - you can have all passives in your skill bar (except the first slot, which is your starting weapon). Also, it seems to be totally random, which three offers you get at level-up. Your success depends heavily on the level-up choices you get (at least past the first map). If you happen to get 3 or 4 levels on your first weapon, it's much easier than if you didn't get any at all. On later maps this means that you either get to level your first weapon on the first 8 levels (or so), or you die invariably. Since there are around 30 different skills and the selection seems to be truly random, you will have very few successful attempts in the game. There are basically 3 different main currencies - character experience, gold and achievements. Certain things only get unlocked after you got a certain number of achievements. Character experience is - big surprise - locked to certain characters. Once you maxed out a character (which happens around 84k Experience) you can convert it to gold. Since you need to level your stuff for higher tier maps, you will grind the first map repeatedly (since it'S the easiest one). That's getting boring quickly too. The levels seem to be "proof-of-concept"-style: Each tries to incorportate a certain concept: "normal" level, corridor style, endless timer, restricted ressources, etc. Also, the timers are rather short (besides the endless timer one it's never longer than 20 minutes so far). Maps generally have borders, though enemies can spawn from the other side (you, however, can't enter it). Enemies usually gravitate towards you and will invariably suffocate you unless you are insanely lucky and get to level your weapons quickly (see above). There is just no escape, not even the "world border". The entire thing feels more like a tech demo where the author tried different things (one per time) and the result was called a "level". And I'm starting to think whether the other survivorlike-games are truly random, or if they are skewed in favour of the player to be more fun. Get this game if you were really into VS and want more of the same. Else it's not really worth it.
