I like when car goes wroom.
I don't like when my 3s mate decides to turn middle, no boost, seeing nothing but the ball, which he is farther away from than all 3 enemies. It makes me sadge.

Great game. Fairly easy vampire survivor game with a nice cutesy aesthetic and a huge roster of characters. You don't need to know Vtubers to enjoy the game. I barely know any and still thoroughly enjoy the aesthetic of the game and the themes of the different characters.
Great game and surprisingly expansive for a free fan game.

Steal everything.

Pretty great game.
It's a bit simple compared to other Smash-like games, with the main skills of the game being spacing and playing around cds, but the matches still feel fun.

Balance feels a bit iffy. Every hero has something about them that could be considered "broken", but those that have disjoint dash attacks are definitely the worst offenders since the game is so based on spacing. This is especially true when you start to play, since in some some match-ups it feels like anything you do is hard countered by you opponent clicking their mouse or thoughtlessly pressing their abilities (Herc vs Amaterasu or Susano).

The monitization is okay. I've seen people complain that the characters take long to unlock, but it is not much different from something like a free MOBA (the game is currently free). If you do not mind putting some time into a character to learn it, you will not mind the monetization system. The heroes you start out with are also pretty good, with Amaterasy prop being one of the best heroes currently.

If you are just starting off with the game, I'd suggest you do group play (especially 2v2 with a friend). The spacing aspect of the game is HUGE, so if you wanna play a hero like Hercules (like I did), get ready for some early on salt as you experience how unfair a match-up between Herc and any fast hero is, when neither player is skilled. This aspect is alliviated a bit in multiplayer where team play and clever ability use can be utilised to win (and your mates can help you not get comboed or perma ledge gaurded by a fast character).
It is also much more enjoyable to swear at your local Amaterasu with a friend :)

Great game
