Vampire Survivors is probably the best mobile game I've had on my phone since the early 10s, before the massive dump-truck of ad-ridden shovelware buried any hopes that mobile gaming would ever be any good. It's seriously refreshing to see the way they approached turning their game into a viable mobile product. No bullshit, but there are two (completely optional) ways to watch ads for some in game reward. You can watch an ad for a free revive after a run, or to get some bonus gold at the end of a run. I took advantage of the free revive a few times, but the game itself eventually obviates the need for this (there are various ways to get extra lives in-game). I don't bother with the extra gold as it feels unnecessary. Either way, I spent quite a few pleasant hours over the Christmas break listening to podcasts while fighting the undead hordes. Vampire Survivors is far more fun that it has any right to be for what it is. Hope they continue to sell well and add to the game.
