Dave the diver and made the mistake of trying vampire survivors, that thing is fucking addicting to me. Already had a taste of it with halls of torment but this type of game really gives you that "just one more run" feeling

Man, I just don't get that from vampire survivors. I loved Binding of Isaac and can't stand vampire survivor or brotato as the endless waves just seem... Boring and then the builds seem obvious and usually pretty easy to force.

I just never get that pull to do one more round.

That's the thing, I don't understand why these games feel so satisfying to play, I have so much good stuff on my library to play and this simple ass game where just pretty much grind your way to the end like you said to the other user is what keeps me entertained

It's a chore to do that requires little direct thought or input in a complex world full of too much to do? Seems like it scratches a similar itch to the cosy gamers accept with more fun to the audience that doesn't like pulling weeds

I just started playing Vampire Survivors, how do you force a build in the game? I didn't even realize it was an option.

Well you need to grind a bit to unlock stuff and get the gold but you can get the option to reroll and then lancet and laurel are the main things to being practically unkillable with enough leveling.

But for early level seriously just upgrade whip and get the heart. You now heal and do near constant damage. And then get garlic and just work on maxing out any item one at a time. And you will keep going until the waves become bullshit. Keep doing until you literally grind ypur way to buying your way into the end game.

Yay needless grinding.
