Bullet heaven games can already be fairly chaotic. Starting with Vampire Survivors, it’s a genre that joyously fills your screen with thousands of enemies and tasks you with somehow killing them all before they reach your character in the centre. While Warhammer Survivors treads much of the same ground of Poncle’s original, there is a small mechanical twist at its centre that adds a meaningful extra drip of chaos to the action.
Rather than control a single character, as you pick up weapons, you assemble a small squad, all of whom act independently of you.
This sounds like a fun twist on the bullet heaven genre! The idea of building a squad of allied characters adds an interesting layer to the chaos. It’s exciting to see how games are evolving and bringing new mechanics to familiar concepts. Looking forward to seeing more about it!
