Blood Dungeon Takes Us to Bullet Heaven
About this episode
The episode discusses the game Blood Dungeon and its evolution of the Vampire Survivors formula, along with a conversation about naming conventions in the genre.
Blood Dungeon is a spectacular evolution of the Vampire Survivors formula. Developer Messhof plops the auto-shooting, upgrade-building bullet-heaven genre into something a bit more strategic and conscious of your time. It certainly doesn’t hurt that the art looks, at first blush, like Spelunky by way of a child’s sketchbook. In the back half of the episode, we chat about what to call these games, and then pick some of our favorites.
