Humble's new bundle is packed with swarm shooters.
By Brendan Hesse on
If you’ve maxed out Vampire Survivors’ metagame and you want to see what else is available in ots burgeoning genre, you should check out Humble’s new Survivors-Like bundle. The bundle includes eight Vampire Survivors-like games for as little as $8, but you can always pledge more if you want to give more support to the publishers and the charity. This particular bundle benefits Active Minds, a nonprofit organization that offers mental health education and support for young adults.
As the bundle’s description explains, the games in the Best Of Survivors-like pack play similarly to the award-winning Vampire Survivors--you shoot and dodge swarms of enemies for as long as you can, then use any points or loot you collect to upgrade your loadout and try again--but each title brings its own wrinkles to the formula.
For example, Repetendium features destructible environments and a complex line-of-sight lighting system--also you play as a gun-toting chicken. Just King, on the other hand, gives you control over an entire party of adventurers protecting their king from waves of beasts.
There’s also a variety of aesthetics if you’re looking for something less gothic than Vampire Survivors. Neon Sundown features a vibrant, geometric art style and pulsing synthwave soundtrack, while Bounty of One sports a cartoony wild-west setting and a unique boss-hunting system. Rounding out the bundle are Rogue: Genesia, Boneraiser Minions, Nomad Survival, and Scarlet Tower, all of which feature medieval gothic settings that hardcore Vampire Survivor fans will likely enjoy.
The Humble Survivors-like bundle is available through April 14th, so head over to Humble and grab the deal
