    The graphics are characterized by a charming cutesy and chibi style, featuring vibrant colors and well-animated sprites that enhance the overall visual appeal. While the pixel graphics are of higher quality, some users noted performance issues despite the attractive visuals. Overall, the combination of cute graphics and engaging animations contributes to an addictive gaming experience.

    • “The sprites are well-animated and the characters have nice artwork.”

  • gameplay9 mentions

    The gameplay is engaging and standard for the genre, featuring creature-slaying mechanics and city-building upgrades that enhance the experience. While the game excels with its fun combos and innovative features, players have noted the lack of customizable hotkey options as a drawback. Overall, it stands out among similar titles, promising an exciting journey with future updates and new mechanics.

    • “The gameplay is standard for the genre: you use your primary weapon to slay creatures that are haplessly attracted to you and use their life essence to grow stronger.”
    • “A fun and addictive survivor-type game, with city building upgrade mechanics.”
    • “The concept and gameplay is very competent and interesting, in a genre of vs-like action roguelites that either fall short of the concept or stagnate by lacking any sort of innovation; Crafty Survivors stands proud amongst other games like Scarlett Tower, Brotato, and other similar successes.”
    • “The gameplay is standard for the genre: you use your primary weapon to slay creatures that are haplessly attracted to you (for some reason) and use their life essence to grow stronger.”
    • “One negative point about the gameplay is that the button layout for your abilities is sorely missing the option to either rearrange their order in the hotbar or remap the hotkeys to your liking — hopefully this will be addressed in a future update.”
