It's easy to go into this and think it's exactly like Vampire Survivors, which was my mindset going into this game. I think, however, 20 minutes till dawn is actually harder than VS, with health being more limited and not number based (like VS). The formula is pretty similar, kill monsters, get xp, unlock and upgrade. What sets it apart is the more distinctive upgrades that have 4 upgrade options, and is less like VS where you can only unlock its full potential with an evolution. 20 Minutes Till Dawn is able to set itself apart, not as another game that is similar to VS, but because the difficulty curve to get the most out of each run is a gradual one that goes layer by layer, character by character, weapon by weapon.
