Get Pin-yolked Son!
It's that time again for a new episode of Chichuki Plays, the show where I go hands-on with upcoming games and show them off. Usually it's about an hour or so but I don't want to spoil too much of the game for you. This time, we're looking at Dark Fairy Tale: Dreamland Survivors on Steam. Fans of Vampire Survivors will want to check this out.
You play the role of Pinocchio in this roguelike as he fights through all kinds of trouble in a twisted fairy tale land. Along the way, you'll find dream eggs to enhance your attacks/abilities. This game is an auto shooter and I started to get more comfortable with how the game played during the second run. You'll collect dream eggs during the runs and you can either activate them or devour them. If you devour them, you gain the ability. There are different abilities that you can get from the eggs if you keep them in your backpack rather than eating them. It all depends on your style of play. In games like this, I like to have quick attacks and be fast so I would go with abilities that let me move quickly.
You'll also have the chance to fight tough Tarot Card trial missions. These can range from very tough fights to simple. You pick random Tarot Cards before the fight starts so you can make it simple or jack up the stakes and make it really hard. The tougher the fight, the better the reward. Survival is key in games like this so make sure you keep moving and collect practically everything you see on the ground. You never know when a new item/spell/attack could get you through a tough patch.
Like I said before Dark Fairy Tale: Dreamland Survivors is a fun game that was inspired by Vampire Survivors. It is a little rough around the edges at times but it still is a fun and challenging playthrough. Fans of Vampire Survivors should give this one a look.
