I hope you're not referring specifically to Wheat Thresher-vania. I'm reminded of what that Dead or Alive guy said about Dynasty Warriors... "Yes, there are tons of onscreen characters, but they're all dumb as toast. You're just lopping off dozens of cabbage heads."

There's just something mechanical and hands-off about Vampire Survivor that I don't like. It's playable? But rarely did I experience anything I would call fun. It was more of an unhealthy compulsion than anything, like picking at a scab.

Same here. People keep raving about it but I find it so boring. No story, no adventure or exploration, just a step above a random number generator in terms of strategy or puzzle
