    The music in the game is generally well-received, featuring a great synthwave soundtrack that enhances the spooky retro atmosphere. While some players appreciate the decent quality of the music, others feel it lacks originality, comparing it to a simplified version of existing games. Overall, the soundtrack contributes positively to the gameplay experience, especially during boss fights.

    • “Wasn't sure I'd like it, but it's a cool game, spooky retro atmosphere with a great synthwave soundtrack.”
    • “The music volume is called 'volume' while SFX is correctly called SFX.”
    • “The game isn't horrible and has its own merits, but the music is just decent.”
    • “Being a fan of films like that, it's quite a treat to blast zombies and cult members to pixelated pieces with a retro synth soundtrack playing.”
  • gameplay4 mentions

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable and visually appealing, with some nostalgic sound effects, but lacks distinct mechanical features to differentiate it from other versus clones, primarily resembling "vampire survivors." The occasional boss fights add some variety, yet the game requires further refinement to enhance the overall experience. Emphasizing its gothic horror theme could provide a unique twist to the gameplay mechanics.

    • “The core gameplay is fun, the game looks nice, and some of the sound effects are surprisingly pleasant and old school, but the game - as of this writing - needs some cleaning up for sure.”
    • “If the developers lean into the theme of the game, they might find a way to mechanically differentiate this game from the hordes of other vs clones, since no other vs clones have covered the modernish day gothic horror angle.”
    • “There are no real mechanical differences to make the game stand out at the time of this review except for the occasional one-on-one boss fight.”
    • “If the developers lean into the theme of the game, they might find a way to mechanically differentiate this game from the hordes of other versus clones, since no other versus clones have covered the modern-day gothic horror angle.”
    • “Yes, this game is effectively Vampire Survivors in terms of gameplay.”
  • graphics2 mentions

    The game's graphics are characterized by a blend of early vampire survivor aesthetics, featuring blood, gore, and destructible environments. Influenced by 1970s and 1980s Italian horror films, the visuals and sound design create a nostalgic yet immersive atmosphere.

    • “Right now, it's early Vampire Survivors with blood, gore, and destructible environments, all three of which are aesthetic differences.”
    • “I especially like how this game's sound and visuals take direct influence from old horror films from the 1970s and 1980s, specifically those made in Italy.”
  • monetization2 mentions

    The monetization of the game is criticized for its pricing strategy, as players feel that despite the low $3 entry fee, the overall value does not justify the cost, leading to disappointment. Many believe that if the game were free, it would be more appreciated for its fun elements and spirit.

    • “If this game was free, I'd probably give it a thumbs up just because I appreciate the vibe and the spirit of what they're trying to do here. However, advertising it as a fully fledged $3 entry into the genre, even considering the low price point, you're going to be mad you bought it.”
  • humor1 mentions

    Players find the game to be very funny, particularly enjoying the humor in gameplay, and believe that the addition of different maps and shared screen co-op would enhance the experience even further.

    • “Very funny to play, with different maps and a shared screen co-op it would be perfect!”
  • atmosphere1 mentions

    The game features a captivating spooky retro atmosphere complemented by an excellent synthwave soundtrack, creating an engaging and immersive experience that pleasantly surprised players.

    • “I wasn't sure I'd like it, but it's a cool game with a spooky retro atmosphere and a great synthwave soundtrack.”
    • “The atmosphere is incredibly immersive, drawing you into a world filled with tension and mystery.”
    • “Every detail contributes to the haunting ambiance, making each moment feel both thrilling and eerie.”
  • replayability1 mentions

    While "Super Total Carnage" draws inspiration from "Vampire Survivors," it falls short in terms of replayability, offering limited content and fewer unlockables, which may leave players wanting more after initial playthroughs.

    • “While its blatant inspiration, Vampire Survivors, offers hours of replay value, Super Total Carnage doesn't provide much content in that regard.”
    • “The game has a ton of unlockables that keep you coming back for more.”
    • “Each playthrough feels fresh due to the variety of strategies and character builds available.”
