At a base level Scary world ist just a well done game similar to Vampire Survivors. But it has a couple really neat things going for it.
1. The match length is really short. Y

This is the only roguelike that I enjoy. I love how it only takes 10 minutes to do a run. I have finally figured out how to win, but only with a couple characters. Still exploring other builds, which feel pretty different strategically.
It's been great t

Scary World is a very focused Bullet Heaven in the spirit of Vampire Survivors.
A wall of lava drives you ever to the right on the game's single map. Your goal: To power up enough before it forces you to fight the boss that awaits at the end. If you de

Vampire Survivors-like, except you skid around like you're on an ice rink being mobbed by giant clouds of motorcycle riding demons and bats. So many bats! It is not a game that takes itself very seriously, but it sure is fun.
There are many enjoyable wea

"I hope I don't have a bad dream, of a scary world"
I have bad news for you. Scary World is here! And it's intense!
Run around with poison trail, blow up your enemies, or find the secret Wizard. The choice is yours.
It's a lot of fun to knock all the li

Still cutting my teeth with it, but if you're remotely familiar with the style of Vampire Survivors, you can see 2.5 hours being a decent chunk of time for these types of games.
In current state, I do not recommend it.
It wants to be different which I r

+Attacks are very satisfying
+Music is nice

This is a great VS-like with short runs, exciting gameplay and lighthearted, wacky aesthetics.
The quick round times make it easy to play a few quick rounds, and just as easy to go "one more try" over and over again for hours. It only takes a minute or

Scary World has some cool ideas but it’s got a few control issues. The movement feels slow and sticky, which makes dodging bullets harder than it needs to be. Also the lance weapon that Gelf uses doesn’t always shoot where you’re facing, even though

This is a cool little VS-like with short 5-10 minute runs, definitely preferred to the longer 30 minute runs. The goal is to survive for 10 minutes and kill some bosses along the way with some different starting packages based on the character you pick.

Things other survivor-likes can learn from this one: 1) Shorter match lengths are great, escalate more quickly, come to a close, let me try again. 2) Don't be afraid of actual physics, i.e. not just projectiles dealing damage, but momentum, bodies being p

Dev is very open to discussion and actively trying to make the game better with each patch. The latest one made the movement a bit less sluggish, making it feel a lot better to move around!

Think vampires survivors but with a spin, you are always on the move unless you wanna feel warm in a fire, but exploration is a key to getting more powerful. On your journey you can take extra paths to find chests or shops dotted around before going back

Balance and scaling is terrible, when I'm 20 level in I should not be having difficulty with the first enemy type. Several visual bugs, including invisible mobs and bullets. Abilities are boring, and don't improve in meaningful ways. You MUST memorize

I really enjoyed this game.
I think those who are fans of Vampire survivors or similar titles will probably get quite a bit of enjoyment out of it.
I find the weapons in this game take a bit more getting used to, I'd say this game requires a bit more mec

This game is really hooky and dynamic. It has that addictive appeal of VS style games, but I really like the movement in this. It's got some acceleration and inertia, so there is this satisfying "oomf" to it all. The game is also really funny. Great sense

Movement is a chore in this game - it's like you are on mud; slow to start and slow to stop. In a game where movement is almost all there is, this single choice ruins the entire game for me.
Interestingly, this feedback has been given repeatedly on the
