  • monetization
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism for its excessive use of ads, with players reporting a frustrating experience of being forced to watch numerous ads to progress. While some acknowledge the presence of microtransactions and the ability to earn resources through gameplay, many feel that the game is heavily skewed towards monetization, making it feel like a cash grab. Overall, the balance between ads and gameplay is seen as detrimental, leading to a negative impact on the user experience.

    • “It does have plenty of microtransactions, but you get plenty of resources by playing the game. I've only been playing for a week, and I've unlocked all but Wonder Woman.”
    • “I cannot wait to see where this leads, and I look forward to updates such as in-game purchases for future stories to unfold after this 'conclusion'.”
    • “Basically the whole game is blocked behind ads or paying for it because after a while the progress becomes so ridiculously slow that you either pay or quit.”
    • “Up front, the monetization is to watch 30 hours of ads over a year to unlock 10 hours of content.”
    • “You spend all of your time watching ads to make any progress.”
  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been described as derivative and uninspired, heavily borrowing from the vampire survivors genre without introducing original concepts. While some players find it engaging and challenging, others criticize its clunky mechanics, poor UI, and excessive monetization tactics, leading to a mixed reception overall. Additionally, the disparity between the game's visual presentation and its actual gameplay experience has left some players disappointed.

    • “The gameplay is challenging as one hit from the enemy takes 25% of your max health.”
    • “Also, it helps that this one had a more interesting story and good gameplay beyond the show.”
    • “A great experience, engaging story and gameplay, and well designed.”
    • “The gameplay is reused from all the other Vampire Survivors copies; it's boring and needs a new original concept.”
    • “It's missing out on so many gameplay features that make a game like Vampire Survivors good.”
    • “The gameplay is extremely derivative and doesn't feel as tight as literally any of its contemporaries; the game immediately shoves microtransactions down your throat.”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally well-received, with players enjoying the engaging narrative and the ability to influence its direction through choices. Many appreciate the complexity of the characters and the anticipation of new episodes, although some critique certain plot points and the pacing of story arcs. Overall, the game is praised for its interesting storyline and improved gameplay compared to previous titles.

    • “The story is fun to watch and I enjoy the anticipation of awaiting the next episode.”
    • “This is better than the Silent Hill one; the developers took the feedback. The idea of having episodes divided into two parts and making only one stream per week has helped the flow and story quality a lot. The game is good and it ties into the plot with regular updates. The story seems interesting with multiple plot points and characters.”
    • “The characters are complex and I love that I can help shape the direction of the story.”
    • “Overall, seems kinda fun but the first choice it's given to affect the story seems pretty lame.”
    • “*payments per story arc/ not each episode*.”
  • optimization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, leading to severe lag and performance drops even on newer devices like the Pixel 6a. Users report choppy gameplay, particularly during battles and while navigating the store, making the experience nearly unbearable despite a promising concept. Overall, the game's performance is considered below average, with many players expressing frustration over its lack of optimization.

    • “The game concept is pretty good, but the performance is really bad; it might not be compatible with older devices.”
    • “Concept is cool, but the app is really poorly optimized.”
    • “The game feels laggy and unoptimized.”
    • “This low budget game is very unoptimized; I haven't lagged this much in any game I've played on my phone. I lagged less when I tried out Fortnite.”
    • “I don't know how they managed it on a simple 2D game, but scrolling the store page drops the framerate to what looks like 10 or 15 fps on my Pixel 6a, and about 8 or 9 minutes into battle, the game starts to struggle performance-wise and starts heating my phone up.”
    • “The performance for this game is nearly unbearable.”
  • graphics
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising its unique art style and immersive design reminiscent of anime, while others criticize the visuals as plain and simplistic, experiencing issues like low frame rates and lag. Overall, the graphics seem to be a point of contention, with some players finding them enjoyable and others feeling they detract from the gameplay experience.

    • “The art style is unique, and interacting with a weekly episode feels like a vast undertaking in the vein of defiance, but I hope this works out much better.”
    • “From the art style reminding me of RWBY's anime to the choose-your-own-path experience with other viewers, it is incredibly immersive for a fan like myself.”
    • “Fun graphics and a growing weapon inventory make for a fun game all around.”
    • “Average game, but the graphics suck and it feels like the game runs only at 20 fps with a lot of lag.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the humor in the game to be engaging and enjoyable, with one reviewer noting that it evokes a sense of creativity and inspiration reminiscent of their experience with "Vampire Survivors."

    • “It's funny; I've been imagining designing a game like this since I played Vampire Survivors.”
    • “The humor in this game is spot on, making every moment enjoyable and light-hearted.”
    • “I love how the witty dialogue and quirky characters keep me laughing throughout the gameplay.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users generally find the game's stability to be somewhat inconsistent, with some experiencing bugs, particularly those with less reliable internet connections.

    • “The game is quite buggy, and it often crashes unexpectedly.”
    • “I frequently experience lag and disconnections, which really disrupts gameplay.”
    • “There are numerous stability issues that make it hard to enjoy the game.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has been criticized for being loud and unpleasant, with no option to turn it off independently from other sound effects, forcing players to mute the entire game. This design choice has led to frustration among users who find the control over audio unsatisfactory.

    • “The terrible and loud music can't be turned off without muting the entire game because the developers thought it was a great idea to tie all game sound and music together.”
    • “Control is not that good; it doesn't have a music off option.”
