I'm thinking of a skip to skip all skips here.
I recall some fps games being called Doom clones back in the day and the practice getting a deserved pushback - but Vampire Survivor clones really seem to deserve the name. I have enough of them, and hardly any need to get even one more.
Add to that that I own most of previously bundled games and the price tag barely hitting 90% off, and the bundle ends up being really unappealing.

@Formidolosus - EU price is 8,81€.

Probably good bundle for those that care about those. I've only managed to get lot out of one survivor game so far - Halls of torment. Its basically Diablo 1/2 theme (or CRPGs of old) but "survivor-like"

Anyway so that the comment isnt only about my opinions here is the..

How Long To Beat on "main story" (which is prolly "unlock all levels" or something) to "completionist" for games that have any data:

  • AK-xolotl: Together: "6.1 hours" - 20.7 hrs
  • Patch Quest: 12 hours - 51.1 hrs
  • The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia: 4.2 hrs - 13.8 hrs
  • Atomicrops: 5.8hrs - 50 hrs
  • Genome Guardian: 103 hrs (only 1 user posted)
  • Picayune Dreams: 6.8 hrs - 20 hrs
  • Vampire Survivors: 14 hrs - 50.9 hrs (note: has lot of cool dlc)
    Rest have no data yet ^^

So potentially 50 hours (+that single 103h) of time to waste for 10$

Thanks. Appreciated.
Apart from the somewhat unappealing IGN price-tag Survivors-likes have a good money-to-hours ratio - if your a maximizer.
However, not all VS-clones capture the "chill" gameplay of the original (if I dare to say). Many are too hectic, feel like work, or simply butcher the formula with new mechanics which only water-down the experience instead of adding to it.
In summary, I agree, while there are many VS-likes most are simple clones and often worse, and only a few stand on their own legs and add to it. Unfortunately, I don't know the games included in this bundle by heart, but since I did some research on this genre and the other games included here never stood out, I am cautious.

if its your kind of genre... this is a great bundle

I picked it up, redeemed half of it, won't redeem genome guardian as I have it in family share.

atomicrops is the only one I am questioning if I want to keep or not, not sure how heavy the farming sim parts of it are.

Probably the easiest skip of my life, a bundle full of games from a genre i dislike :D

However, i am really happy to see bundles like these. I think these "genre" bundles are some of the best out there, because you either like them, or you don't, instead of being like "Oh 3 games here look interesting, but the other 4 i'll never play".

Not as exciting as Fanaticals, but still enought of a good deal for me.
Thought Survivors-like games, or as I rather call them, Bullet Heavens, are not so much a action rogue-likes to me but a mix in betwen tactical and action roguelikes. In pure action roguelikes you can still trive by pure skill even if the rng gets especially bad or even if you intentionally chose the worst upgrades because you can learn how to use them to their full potential. In bullet heavens you only can learn about what upgrades to chose, how they sinergize with others and a vague sense of how the rng gives you more or less, its not about the use YOU give the upgrades, but the use that THEY give you. I'm not sure I'm expressing myself well. But I hope there is at leat a vague visible idea of what I'm saying.

Not a bad bundle cost-wise, I doubt you will find each game for less than ~$1.50. (Excluded from the price the ones bundled often)

No brotato and no dlc's hard pass

Agreed. There should be least some VS DLCs and/or Brotato (but I guess most have it already).

Pikayune Dreams and Atomicrops are good stuff, but also good stuff that hit tasty discounts on their own during any given sale.
PD is a unique vibe though, yet one that might not riff well with everyone.

Vampire Survivors is excellent, but I already have it and the others don't grab me. Just get VS separately - it's super cheap - and move on.
