Vampire Survivors - Biting The Bullet 

I think that's the actual term people are using to coin the genre that has Vampire Survivors and all its copycats.

@@FatherTime89 Wanderbot especially is trying to push for the term because he feels it fits best, and I agree

More like Bible Hell.

Considering the fact that many times these types of games will use bullet hell type mechanics to increase difficulty I don't think that fits. Like they'll include enemies that shoot you or bosses with bullet pattern attacks. It's definetly not the opposite of a bullet hell, it's more like a sister to the bullet hell series. Similar in some ways, different in others.

exactly

Legally Distinct Bayonetta™

Hopefully less problematic given recent news though.

@@bitequation314 I think it was more from voice acting then the game ( well I don't hate anyone in this situation but yeah just because you're a union actor doesn't mean you want to be paid them anymore just by you already getting a bit more even though I'm going to miss the old voice actress I still enjoy the new one and the new one is a professional and talented on the video game voice acting career) then again October was pretty must a month for basically voice actors not getting paid enough ( mob psycho 100 English dub as well as Rooster Teeth's with one of the voice actresses) by the way Bayonetta 3 has been doing really well both critically and financially ( it is a pretty good game despite the recent controversy about the voice acting)

@@changsiah2 I was more referring to some of the social and political views that the original voice actress has endorsed since the whole payment controversy.

@@bitequation314 this is have to do with the the voice acting?

But he's def played because he has the gun from Pugnala Provola unlocked.

Have you tried the original game that inspired this one? Magic Survival on Android.

Actually wtf he's literally got majority of the upgrades. He's not even fresh to this game lol.

@@Sletchman Fair enough

Especially during development, every update kept adding depth to the mecanics, this game is a masterclass of game design.

Fair to add that *he can be killed.* It just takes some specific items.

@@Lanka0Kera And a specific strategy helps....

I killed him with the Lance evolution the first time I got it. Got lucky, and what a payoff for doing so.

Catching up on old videos. I bought this game a week ago. Can kill with nearly pure brute force. Last time I played, I killed The Reaper so quickly I didn't even know it spawned. Granted, I had Limit Break enabled with the shroud, infinite corridor, phieraggi, death spiral, thousand edge, holy wand, laborra, and no future thanks to two candy box drops and map passive pickups. Not sure I will try that again, it's cool to see, but not particularly fun.

It hurt when he passed the ebony wings multiple times.

He also hasn't figured out what it does when it evolves.....

Garlic is one of the best AOE weapons (evo'd its baller combined with the health pulse Arcana) though the single best one is probally the evo'd bible with maybe if you get high luck the evo'd cross.

@@dragonace119 the birds always seemed the best to me. When evo’d they absolutely massacred crowds

@@mhammer3186 Get evo'd bible with bracer and duplicator while as either Poppea Pecorina or Mortaccio and just watch it rip things apart. Now combine that with evo'd water and evo'd cross and you become death destroyer of worlds.

I would have to say your both right, it is one of the strongest but if your not getting it early in the game, and therefore aren’t upgrading it to its max light mid game it’s not worth it just cause it’s not keeping up with the enemies

A lot of these weapons really depend on where you are in the game in terms of unlocks, which character you're playing with, and what you're actually trying to do as to how valuable they are. He's pretty high on the King Bible throughout the video, and yes, it can be very good for just surviving, but it can also knock back enemies without killing them if your damage is too low and your goal is farming gold, for example. Garlic is really good up front for weak wave clearing, but can have problems with mobs (especially bosses) getting through and hitting you in late game without the proper support like Magic Wand to knock things back that get too close. Of course that can change once you've unlocked everything, but he's not that far yet, so I wouldn't want to spoil something if he reads comments.

It also makes enemies more susceptible to knockback. That alone makes it more valuable than the lifesteal imo, because when synced with the (un)holy bible, and something like the evolved axes, it makes it so that it's almost impossible for enemies to reach you.

@@scyfrix True, like I said, it really depends on what you're looking to do. Just survive the initial levels? Bible and Garlic together are pretty great at making that happen. But if you've got to put out serious damage, or if your goal is killing as many enemies as possible, other builds can be superior, albeit potentially having more risk to them.

This going to get a lot of likes from people who have been playing for a while.

It's not really called that yet, it's just a term some people are trying to get off the ground. Like how what the game industry insisted on calling a "character action game" was turned into "spectacle fighter." Not that that's a bad development.

I thought they came up with a different term for it. Something like legion or horde shooter, something like that was what they were thinking

@@veinexesvideos9883 Yeah those are way better, bullet heaven kinda implies that you're winning which you're usually not if it's the kind of endless game you go round after round until you die.

I heard the term auto-shooter been used and I think it is much more apt for this type of games

I've been internally referring to this type of game as a Crimson-like, after playing Crimsonlands back in the 2000's

Rogue genesis is another good one

@@theirishviking9278 and Brotato and 20 minutes till dawn.

Does Magic Survival count? Love that mobile game

@@dpetersz My one frustration with 20 Minutes till Dawn is you have to actually aim.

@@lanceheyen645 you can press space bar and it auto aims, but you still have to click

Yea garlic feels like easy mode

same with the black and white birds, I love me some peachone

Only if you have the right item as well. Which Jon seemingly hadn't unlocked as it never showed up in the options.

@@dem0nfr0g39 The Vandalier takes ages to level up but man once its maxed it can rival the evo'd bible in terms of damage output.

With Claire!

There were so many good combos that he missed out on because he started randomly picking items and weapons

Also you're sleeping on the guns. If you get both guns and upgrade them they fuse into one weapon (which is very powerful) and free up a slot for an additional weapon.

It actually does in the pre-game load screen. Don't disregard it, as it can get a lot lot worse than what is shown here.

The only downside is that things can get so crazy that the game can crash.

May your deity of choice have mercy on your soul!
