I thought Warhammer Survivors sounded like a neat spin-off—Vampire Survivors in a Warhammer skin, created by Boltgun developer Auroch Digital. Having spent 10 hours with its demo, however, I'm increasingly convinced that it deserves to be catagorised as a sequel.
A lot of care has clearly gone into the hero design, maps and all the horrible beasties trying to eviscerate you, and rather than simply replicate Vampire Survivors, Auroch Digital has included a bunch of novelties and new ideas, like followers and more overt boss battles.
Playing it on my Steam Deck has already had a terrible impact on my sleep routine, just like its predecessor. And with its launch just around the corner on November 10, I think I'm just going to have to accept that I'm going to be very tired for the rest of the year.
