Vampire Survivors’ blend of roguelike elements and auto-attack action against waves of increasingly deadly and more numerous enemies makes it simple to pick up and nearly impossible to put down. It’s been widely celebrated, beating out heavyweights like Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok to claim BAFTA’s Game of the Year award, and even Xbox head Phil Spencer has had a hard time tearing himself away from it. Still, if you do fancy trying something new but don’t want to stray too far from the Vampire Survivors formula, there’s a new indie in town that’s getting rave reviews on Steam, and what’s more, it doesn’t cost a cent.
