I’ve played Spartan Survivors for about 2 hours, and I want to start by saying: this is actually a game I can recommend—especially since it’s free.

But then why am I giving it a negative review?

The game clearly takes inspiration from Vampire Survivors, which is both a strength and a weakness. On one hand, the gameplay feels familiar and works fine—combat feels decent, weapons are okay, and the enemies do their job. It’s easy to jump into and play right away.

On the other hand, it also feels very simple and a bit too “basic.” The graphics are fine, but the map feels generic and doesn’t really offer anything interesting to explore.

The biggest issue for me is the lack of information and polish. You can choose different characters, but the game doesn’t tell you what weapons or abilities they have. That means you have to start a run just to find out, which feels unnecessarily frustrating.

It also feels like the developers haven’t fully implemented the systems that make roguelite games really shine. Right now, it comes across more like an early version or a test build, where the foundation is there, but many important details are still missing.

That being said, you can feel the potential. It seems like a project where the developers genuinely want to make a good game and might be listening to feedback.

So yes—give it a try, especially since it’s free. But in its current state, it’s just not strong enough yet.

Score: 5/10
Not bad, but not good either—for now. I’m looking forward to future updates.

Just an okay game,
Nothing about the game is truly bad but there is also nothing about it that felt special.
It's a very basic survivors game with Halo skin.
