It’s pretty great: > [@Vampire Survivors: Fun indie, rogue-lite game with 72,000 "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews on Steam, costs $3](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vampire-survivors-fun-indie-rogue-lite-game-with-72-000-overwhelmingly-positive-reviews-on-steam-costs-3/962791): > > I just got turned on to the game [Vampire Survivors.](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1794680/Vampire_Survivors/) It’s a “simple”, fun waste of time for 15 or 30 minutes that sees you coming back for more. It is still in Early Access but the developer seems to be putting out patches and content at a brisk pace. By “simple” I mean the game could hardly be easier to start playing. No aiming or anything. Just run around avoiding monsters while your character auto-shoots whatever he/she has equipped. That said, you finish a level surviving for 30 minutes… YMMV It was very cheap to begin with and it is hard to argue with free. I’d say give it a shot. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/free-pc-game-and-free-weekend-notification-thread/704513)._
