“Very good coop game similar to Vampire Survivors. It runs flawlessly and it is loads of fun for a friend and I to play. The unlocks keep you constantly discovering new things. Very well done and I look forward to more…”
“I've never played Vampire Survivor before so I will not make comparisons. The only thing I will relate it with Vampire Survivor is that Jiang Hu Survivor is a similar genre. What I like about this game: - Steam…”

“Another Vampire survivor, but not in pixel art or horrifying. Pro: it's a grinding game, and some fun in it. content is in general OK performance is good in high level with loads of skills Numerical balancing is OK, as…”
“For $6.99, it's probably one of the best purchase I've had on steam. To be honest I didn't think I would like this game as much as I did so please give it a try too if you're into survivor games and want to play it with…”
“I like this one. Lots of skills, lots of meta-progression, customisable difficulty settings, and your attacks start to fade when you have too many of them on screen so you can still see what's happening. Still finding…”

“This is an alright survivors game, but not great. They copied a lot of the ideas of this genre but without any of the soul. The experience that drops doesn't make a sound when you pick it up.”
“The massive skill bloat is an interesting take on this genre. I however believe it removes any and all tactical planing and strategy and changes it to a get all the shiny skills as fast as possible game play.”
“Chinese clone of Vampire Survivors with online coop.”

“A mini yet amusing game. Great for time killing. I like the Chinese Wuxia/xianxia style combined with strategy. My kids love this too. One feature I hoped about is a manual for beginners. Probably there already have…”

“8.5 Hours into the game and enjoy it. It is similar to Vampire Survivor but has multiplayer. There are quite a few skills in the game and a couple different builds you can do. Still have one more character and a handful of skills/upgrades to unlock. Multiplayer works great! My…”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“This game is getting very good very quickly. I already liked it before all of these updates, although some people could easily attribute the early versions of it as a cash grab. It is so far from that. There are updates daily, sometimes multiple in a single day, new systems…”
— a player, Steam review · 53 hrs played“This is an achievement oriented game. Think budget phone game with linear progression, without any ads. Very lackluster and unrewarding endgame. Overall a technical and formulaic game but still fun. 5.1/10”
