I’m back again with another roguelike auto shooter that we all know I enjoy. This time, we are reviewing Minions Survivors, which I played on the Nintendo Switch. If you also enjoy roguelike titles, then check out this blog where I list off some recommendations. Without further ado, let’s get started.
Gameplay
The gameplay is pretty much exactly like all other roguelike auto shooters out there. You’ll find the same gameplay as Vampire Survivors, Army of Ruin, Twilight Survivors and so on. You only have two different characters to play as and two weapons to choose from. There are plenty of other weapons to get though upon leveling up and also some cool skills too. Though a lot of those are the same as you would find in any other game.
You’re tasked with surviving 10 minutes in an area with multiple boss fights randomly popping up. This was one part that I did enjoy, because it pushed you into a cage with the boss and you had limited mobility to get away from it. After surviving your ten minutes, you got to proceed to the next area, play it and then…nothing. This game only gives you two different stages to play, which was a let down.
Graphics
These are so so. They could be better but I think they’re alright for what they are. At least the monster’s designs look cool.
Soundtrack
The music is alright but I didn’t listen to it much. Like most games of the genre, the constant noise of weapons being used and enemies being hit gets annoying so I cut it off.
Controls
These are simple. Just walk around with the left analog stick and confirm with A. There isn’t much else to it.
Replayability
I really wouldn’t say this game offers much replayability after you complete the two stages. You can upgrade your stats if you want, maxing them out but there isn’t much of a point when you’ve done all you can do.
Scores
Gameplay: 5/10
Graphics: 5/10
Soundtrack: 5/10
Controls: 7/10
Replayability: 1/10
Overall:
Conclusion
While Minions Survivors isn’t a bad game, it lacks content that would make it better. Right when I felt like the game was starting to get fun, it was already over. Having 5 or 6 total stages to go through would have been bumped this game’s score up by a couple points, but unfortunately, it falls short.
You’re better off playing Spellagis, which I still consider to be a fun game in the roguelike auto shooter genre. Amongst many others, so check out that blog I mentioned with my recommendations and have a great gaming day everyone.
