Oh, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Oops, I actually linked to the wrong article... The one I was looking for was this one:
https://www.vice.com/en/article/z3nyze/how-vampire-survivors-went-from-obscurity-to-27000-people-playing-at-once
But you can get from the first one to the second, I guess.

Yep, got to the Vice article, and that told me the whole story, so I don't mind

I was looking at the screenshots in the game and was like "Man, this reminds me of that game Magic Survivor that I played a while ago." Then read this article and it said it was an inspiration, which is neat. A more frequently updated and less badly-translated version of Magic Survivor sounds right up my alley. Thanks to OP for making me aware and you for the article!

Found it by accident since it was trending amongst my friends.
It's a ridiculously (almost insulting) simple and addictive idea, let to perfection by hordes and hordes of enemies.
Some more articles that help explain the trend:

It looks like a riff on Crimsonland and half the other games 10tons has been making for almost 20 years now.

Is like injecting liquid meth-cockayne into your eyeballs.

SplatterCat and NorthernLion both shone a spotlight on it early after the game's release and definitely propelled it headstrong into the indie game scene. I assume a ton of people enjoy the simple yet satisfying gameplay loop (myself included). Its price point, equivalent to a coffee, definitely helps attract people to at least try out the game.

This is like crimsonland. Although it has some new twists. :O

It's good. I bought it yesterday, and logged six and a half hours. If you're just starting out, you should know it's to your advantage to use the whip from below the mobs, just like in Castlevania.

I have played the itch version and didn't like it to be honest

Like, I'm asking seriously. I follow indie games quite decently, but had never heard about this game before. It has only a month, and in this month acquired more reviews than some very popular indies, like Into the Breach or Dusk. Did a streamer play it? How is it so popular? It doesn't even look like anything special, just a mobile-tier "mow down masses"
