It's just not that great of a game.. When I first saw this game, I avoided picking it up because of a certain highly-rated review that described it as overly difficult and unfinished. Most of us rogue-lite fans have played amateurish games before and been disappointed, so it was easy to write this one off as yet another project where the developer released an abortive attempt once they'd become fed up with working on it. I let the game linger on my wishlist for at least a year, and probably several, before finally deciding to take the chance. And I couldn't be happier that I got it. It isn't one of the best games of all time, but it's very fun and unique, and the fun \/ price ratio is extremely high. Far from being impossible, it's actually fairly easy to beat, especially with certain characters and runes. My first victory was after maybe around an hour of playing, and I'm not an expert gamer. But you can't rush into things haphazardly, and you also have to learn to adapt to a system that is unconventional in many different ways. At it's heart, the gameplay and skill types are quite similar to old NES-era games. This is a game about memorizing enemy attack patterns, developing appropriate responses, learning the game's system (player attacks, items), and repeated precision control. Many action roguelites have arenas or boss rushes so that players can practice without having to work their way through a run, but in VoTS, you can practice in an arena against regular enemies. And it's a good idea to do so, since everything is deadly here. But although everything is deadly, there is also always a strategy, and often it requires thinking outside the box, or taking approaches that you wouldn't normally use. For most bosses, you want to be decked out with the right items before you go after them, so the order that you proceed in a run depends on what you find along the way. Because of the soul system, you do tend to spend less time exploring, unlike most similar games. What makes this game so fun is learning how to handle challenges that at first seem overwhelming. You start out learning to do basic things like time your attacks and dash-retreat, but this quickly becomes insufficient, and if you expect to be able to get far in a run with such basic techniques, then you'll fail repeatedly and get frustrated. Instead, you have to learn when to attack and when to ignore enemies, when to spam wand attacks and when to use invisibility to avoid encounters, what bosses to go after based on your items, and what to expect from dungeon layouts. To me, perhaps the highest joy of gaming is being confronted with a new system, and gradually learning how to use it and accomplish your goals. By that standard, VoTS is an _excellent_ game. This game _does_ come across as low-production. The interface is clunky and sometimes awkward, and it's missing a lot of polish. Most of the time when I kill the final boss, it takes me a minute to determine whether I won or lost, since there's just a small text popup either way. There is no story, no tutorial, and I didn't see any way to tell how many coins runes cost. But the game has an enormous amount of heart, and the core mechanics are elegantly designed. In some ways, VoTS reminds me of some ARCEN games. This is a game for players who enjoy learning new systems and won't qq when traditional approaches prove ineffective. I definitely recommend it.. know what? its fun and its less than a dollar right now, so if you like roguelites do yourself a favor and pick this one up.. While I personally had fun with the game for the short while I have been hooked to it, I cannot recommend it. There are a few reasons for this, such as:\u2022 The enemies are either too easy or too hard to kill. There is a general lack of balance in this regard. For example outside of the Sand Zone they are swarming the screen so much, that barely anything will save you. \u2022 The vast majority of items are useless. After a few hours of getting used to the game I found, that all I need is rocks and\/or other throwing weapons. Magic items, Scrolls and Melee weapons are outclassed by them. Since almost everything dies in one hit, ranged combat is far more powerful than melee. Some of the spells are good, but you get so much to throw, that they are unnecessary.\u2022 The runes are either too strong or simply useless. Again, a balancing issue. Why would I waste slots for a key (opens chests) when I can simply kick a chest open by default? \u2022 It is full of bugs. I encountered numerous fatal errors, multiple looted coins always count as one, chests are sometimes unreachable, etc. Now I mentioned the things, that may keep you away from purchasing and playing the game, but there are some redeeming factors - they are just a bit overshadowed by the negatives.I did enjoy the gameplay for what its worth. Reaching the end of a chapter felt good, mostly because it is a testament of one's dodging skills mixed with a bit of tactic. It is challenging, and trying to clear all zones in the same round is pretty difficult. Since it is a roguelike, you start fresh after each death, and your loot is randomized. The rune system is also a good general idea, I just wish it was a bit better balanced.. If you like Binding of Isaac, Magicka, and MMORPG skills then you will like this game :3 and dying alot ;-;. This game is amazing. It has so much depth to it, and so so much to explore and discover.Every single run, I encounter a different enemy, or find a new Item, or see a new trap.So much content. NEGATIVES - - the death animation for killing stuff isn't that good. - And the controls are really difficult to get used to. - There are some visual glitches that happen when you open your inventory, but in no way it affects the game. - when you are just getting used to it, it can be difficult to get through doorways as the hitbox is sort-of small.POSITIVES - - loads and loads of content, and stuff to explore.- great level graphics, (if you love pixel graphics...)- the Dash\/Roll is very addicting and fun- It's cheap- randomized levels and many many bosses- unique upgrade system, also fun to use :)- very cool bosses and enemies. Roguelikes are notoriously tricky to balance. Even the most popular ones like Binding of Isaac are wildly all over the place, with some runs being cakewalks and others being an uphill struggle. What unites all the great ones, however, are those moments where fortune smiles upon you and that magical crossing of luck and skill delivers you a win. Vampire of the Sands has many of the parts to make these moments happen, and many more parts that will cruelly snatch them away.I will say upfront that I'm a big fan of the premise. You've been resurrected by a necromancer to descend into dungeon beneath the desert and kill a vampire, who I guess is worse than having a practicing necromancer around. You pick one of four unfortunate revivees, each with a dramtically different playstyle, and then begin your descent into the subterrainean sands. The first of eight levels is desert-themed but the others stray into such territories as breweries, libraries, tech bases, and meatspace. The pixelly foes are equally bizarre, so prepared to get murdered by smiling beer bottles and angry sculptors over and over and over.During your journey you'll find weapons that extend your attack reach, cloaks that take hits for you, masks that give you new abilities, scrolls, potions, wands, and more. There's also money to spend at shops, keys to open chests, and scrap to randomly craft new gear out of. Honestly there are so many items that you'll soon find your 16-slot inventory stuffed to bursting, and you'll need all of them to battle the denizens of the dungeon. Or you would, if you even had the remotest chance against them.I keep coming back to the enemies because Vampire of the Sands is possibly the most vicious roguelike I've ever played, and I've played IVAN. What you need to understand about this game is that EVERYTHING is stacked against you. All of the classes in the game die in one hit, except for one that has literally no other advantages. Cloaks can take a hit for you but immediately break, and there are plenty of monsters in the game that can double-tap you (or triple, or quadruple if you find other forms of protection). Your masks that provide key bonuses break in a single hit as well. And don't expect to lean on your weapons, because they break in less than a dozen hits and leave you with your short, delayed melee attack that most enemies can outpace. Oh, and there's stamina too, which you can't attack or dodge without.On top of all this is the soul system, which is a counter that counts down to your re-death. Since you're a reanimated abomination, you need souls to survive. The only way to get them is to kill enemies or find soul stones, so a slow and methodical approach to combat and exploration is right out. There are classes that mitigate some of these issues, but horribly handicap you in others. One character is fast but can't use potions, one has unlimited stamina but can't use weapons, and one doesn't need souls but can't use armor. The fourth character can take multiple hits but has no other advantages, so you still have to deal with slow movement, breaking weapons, and the countdown of death.The end result is a game that's just too damn hard to find any fun in learning. If even one of the limiting systems were removed (one-hit kills or the soul countdown would be my vote) the game would still be hard but manageable, but this is ridiculous. My best runs have been ones that just bee-line for the bosses and cheese with unbalanced scrolls and masks. Most of the time I just get swarmed the moment I step onto any level other than the first and die. You can earn coins between runs to spend on Tetris-style runes that start you with advantages like items or new abilities, which is a good system for making overall progress. But it still isn't enough to mitigate the absolutely punishing difficulty, especially when so many runs end too soon to earn you any coins for runes.You only need to beat 2 of the 8 bosses to enter the final dungeon, but of all the people who have played the game even once, only 17% have managed that feat. Think about that, 17% of people who TRIED to play the game could beat 2 bosses in one run. This is a game for the folks who managed the never-get-hit achievements in Binding of Isaac, and no one else. And even THOSE people are bound to be frustrated by the strange bugs that remain in the game (despite the developer's dogged efforts, at least). In the end, Vampire of the Sands is the most disappointing kind of game, the one that has a great premise, great style, and all the right parts, and then cranks up the difficulty to where virtually no one can enjoy it.Did you enjoy this review? I certainly hope so, and I certainly hope you'll check out more of them at https:\/\/goldplatedgames.com\/ or on my curation page!. Hard but rewarding. Don't let the playtime fool you, I got it in the past from itch.io. A very fun, fast game. The practice mode is a good addition, be sure to use it before starting your real games. Pro's:- Fast- Good looking (if the artstyle is your bag)- Rewarding - Runes!!!Con's:- Very hard monsters at times. Especially at the start..
