Megabonk officially landed on Steam last September 18. Yes, it is a new game. But it is quickly getting a lot of attention from players. The fresh title is developed and published by vedinad. In particular, it offers a messy fight against endless waves of enemies. The game is simple but addictive.
Gameplay: Loot, Levels, and Chaos
Megabonk follows the style made popular by Vampire Survivors. However, the game does add a fun twist. Instead of flat maps, players fight through full 3D environments. It adds more freedom of movement.
Based on the Steam description, the title from vedinad is a roguelike survival game. Players must battle their way through tons of enemies and bosses in different maps. Also, the mix of dodging, chasing, and bonking makes fights feel more active and direct. In a way, it is better than other auto-shooter titles in that aspect. At the same time, players can grab loot and gain XP when defeating foes. The game also offers random upgrades to make unique builds.Â
Megabonk includes 20 unlockable characters. Each character has unique abilities, offering variety. Similarly, there are more than 70 items. The game also has 240 quests to complete. To make everything more fun, Megabonk adds quirky enemies to the mix. The overall tone is playful. It has flashy effects, odd weapons, and humor that improve the gameplay.
