EcstaticVery Different. This little arcade style arena wave shooter has excellent style, with a wriggly spider protagonist and some fresh feeling mechanics. The pointer to target and click to move control scheme works best for me on steam deck. There's no metaprogression and it's more bullet hell than bullet heaven, really. I'm not sure it's really very related to Vampire Survivors and probably won't get as long play times out of people, but I'm glad I tried it in the Steam Bullet Heaven Fest. Dev? Experienced player?

[edit]
Beat Hazard 3Very Different. A top down twin stick shooter that uses "your music" (or at least your spotify) to generate arcade style levels. Or at least effects. Certainly over the top and similar in that it's top down and a shooter, perhaps if you're looking for more top down shooters it's an interesting option. Reviewed because it was in the Steam Bullet Heaven festival. It's not really a typical bullet heaven, more like a typical top down shmup. Which makes sense as the Beat Hazard series has existed since long before the term bullet heaven did. Perhaps will appeal to some of the same impulses but it's generally very different and not a survivors-like. Low review almost entirely due to UI and illegibility in both menus and gameplay. May improve! Dev? Experienced player? Help us rank this game! [Submit Feature Survey] [Submit Review] |

TYPECASTVery Different. Like Mavis Beacon Teaches Bullet Heaven. Probably you're too young to get that. What I mean is you have to type to fight in this one, making it pretty unique. May not be intended to be a Survivors-like but perhaps worth checking out if you want a change of pace and still enjoy some other elements.
