There are so many quirky game festivals. Previously, there was an ‘Airplane and Train Game Festival’ specifically promoting airplane and train games. This time, Steam has introduced a new BulletHeaven Game Festival, featuring games similar to Vampire Survivors. Many survivor-like games are participating in the event, and new games like Pest Apocalypse and Darkchaser are being launched.

    I’ve seen bullet heaven mentioned once or twice recently. What’s the difference between bullet heaven and bullet hell?

      So in BulletHells you’ve got a ton of shit coming at you that you’ve got to dodge carefully, right?

      In BulletHeavens, all that chaos comes from you. You run around as all your attacks go off constantly, getting more extreme as time goes by, and hundreds of enemies get deleted in seconds.

          You’re welcome!

          Vampire Survivors has been absolutely owning my free time for weeks now, it’s so much goddamn fun and there is so much to unlock and use it’s amazing. Just when I thought I learned pretty much everything, I unlocked something and opened up a whole new game’s worth of content.

          It’s the ultimate dopamine generator

            I call it the gaming equivalent of Tiktok. No story, no permanence, instant gratification.
