i love vampire survivor likes because due to the relatively low bar of entry to developing one each game is "[preceding vampire survivor game] was good, but what if i added this one thing specifically for sickos like me"
so you have like, Halls of Torment which is "vampire survivors by way of Diablo One", or Brotato, which is "vampire survivors by way of autochess", or, idk, Disfigure, which is "20 Minutes Till Dawn by way of sight mechanics"
