Interestingly enough Luca Galante the creator spent 10 years coding digital slot machines. He used a lot of the techniques used by them to keep you playing. He just did it in a way to maximize fun instead of micro transactions.

Vampire Survivors is a great game but the mobile version is the fucking worst.

I didn’t know there was a non-mobile.

I didn't know there was a mobile version. PC version was like £3 and had no ads/payments/nonsense, what's in the mobile version?

No ads unless you want to “pay” for a free revive. No micro transactions that I’ve seen.
