On September 19, 2025, the new roguelike action game Megabonk was released on the Steam platform. Classified as a “roguelike survival game”, it is a typical 3D action title in the style of Vampire Survivors.?
As of September 21, the game has received an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam (based on 1,597 reviews), with its peak concurrent player count exceeding 12,300 (source: SteamCharts). Thanks to its Japanese language support, enthusiasm among domestic indie game enthusiasts has also been on the rise.?
In the game, players must fend off endless waves of enemies, explore the depths of randomly generated maps, and their ultimate goal is to survive.?
Some might think, “It seems there have been 3D games in the style of Vampire Survivors before…” However, Megabonk possesses an enigmatic charm that is hard to sum up in a single sentence.?
The core gameplay revolves around “running through randomly generated maps, repelling enemy hordes with auto-attacks, and collecting experience points and money to upgrade yourself”. As a Vampire Survivors-like title, this is a very orthodox design.?
The player’s objective is to defeat the “Boss” that appears somewhere on the map. After defeating the Boss, they will move on to a more difficult map and dive into endless battles.?
In addition to leveling up through experience points, methods for “upgrading” include using collected money to unlock “Treasure Chests” and the “Suspicious Man (Shop)”, as well as staying near “Altar”—which becomes usable after a certain period of time—and other various means.?
Enhancement options include increasing weapon power or quantity, boosting projectile count and reducing cooldown times, raising critical hit rate… These enhancement elements will be familiar to players of Vampire Survivors.?
The game features a 10-minute time limit, and a large number of powerful enemies will appear in the later stages, truly testing the player’s skills. After defeating these powerful foes, it becomes easier to accumulate permanent upgrade resources (Silver Coins), which motivates players to start another round of the game (though they will still eventually be defeated after playing for around ten minutes).?
In short, Megabonk is a new indie game that combines elements from Vampire Survivors and Risk of Rain 2. Yet, for some reason, the more you play, the more you can feel a unique charm from the visual effects and animations of the characters and items.
