Bullet Heavens. Action Roguelikes. Arena Shooters. Crowd Management Games. Survive ‘em ups… the list goes on. Whatever you call them, thanks to Vampire Survivors they were a big story in 2022. In this podcast, Bryan and Josh sample three games from this burgeoning genre, popularized by Ponkle’s breakout hit, and quickly iterated on by a legion of creative developers. Our selection includes: The OG - Vampire SurvivorsThe Stylish Successor - 20 Minutes til Dawnand The Quirky Cousin- Boneraiser Minions. All of which have plenty to recommend, not least of which is their exceedingly reasonable price points.
