Love it or hate it, you can’t deny the impact the brilliant Vampire Survivors had on the gaming world. It’s a game that has spawned a whole ton of other auto-shooting, bullet-hell roguelites. Games much like that which is releasing today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch – Hero Survival.
A new take on the genre
Available right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, Hero Survival comes from the Sometimes You and PigeonDev teams. It plays very much like that genre leader, Vampire Survivors, but with enough quirks and changes to warrant a look.
Priced at £4.19, Hero Survival does as it says on the tin – you’re a hero, go survive. There’s nothing much more to it than that, and you’re main course of action will be to dodge ALL the monsters that are coming your way. The twist is, this monsters have all been imported from the most classic of horror and action movies. What’s not to like?
Mummies, zombies, ghosts, vampires and more are all present. And each of those will find their own unique style and way to try and take you down. You just need to fight them off. You’ll do that with a variety of builds, weapons and skills, making the most of what is on offer.
Features of Hero Survival on Xbox include
- Fast-paced runs
- Vampires, werewolves, mummies and other monsters from classic horror movies
- Hundreds of item and skills combinations to enhance your character
- A lot of weapons. Guns? Revolvers? Shotguns? Sniper rifles? Grenade launchers? Automatic rifles? Machine guns? We have them all!
Quote from PigeonDev – ”The game may seem chaotic at first, but the pace builds gradually – in the beginning you can safely manoeuvre with your gun, and on the last waves the only place not filled with enemies will be two metres around you. Stick with it and you will soon be in control, that’s if you are quick enough!”
