Since the ridiculously wild success of Vampire Survivors (disclosure: I wrote for that game), a number of similar “survivor” style games have flooded the market. I’ve tried a bunch of the bastards, and with the exception of Void Scrappers I’ve not been wowed by any of them. Nothing has quite hit the dopamine highs of Poncle's influential hit. Boneraiser Minions is a whole different story, however.
The immediacy with which I was won over by Boneraiser’s exceptional gameplay and absurd tone is personally unprecedented. After a single run I was utterly hooked, and I’ve sunk an obscene number of hours into this thing over the course of a few days. Easily my favorite game in quite some time, it’s a hallmark of an emergent genre.
