Also worth noting about the holocure devs, they’re all professionals last I knew just not game devs. Kay Yu, the lead is a professional animator who’s done work for a few decent sized anime studios iirc. And a decent chunk of the rest of the team are programmers who work in other fields. While they are indeed fans of hololive, I remember Kay saying at one point that holocure is a passion project with the side effect of them learning how to make games.
You could also enchant your weapons with anvil. Unfortunately many people miss this in their first or second.. or maybe more of their run. Especially if they never watch anyone playing this game.
As a witness statement, I've played this game since day 1, and have only realized this since 0.5. Yes, I've bought the upgrade, but I'm a dum dum who bought permanent upgrades because it's a permanent upgrade and doesn't read its description.
you can also cook and consume food from the housing system in holocure to buff your next game stats which I find cool and there are so many ways to earn money in this game from playing the game, fishing, and managing workers, I can't wait for the Pekora casino update for more ways to earn money and spend them in a fun way not to mention more idols from other generations in the gacha and much much more content in future patches truly holocure is a superior VS alternative God Bless Kay Yu and his team for being a bunch of gigachads and making this free game even outright refusing donations and offers by covercorp to make it an official game this is the most intense passion project yet made by a fan and I can't wait to see what else they have in store
@@Murmur_65well it was more they released policy to allow for fan games to properly monetise and Kay Yu outright said they would not accept money ever in order to keep it a passion project
I think one of the things that Will help holocure staying forevet entertaining is the leaderboards. There's a leaderboard for every chara and every Stage, and because every chara plays different anyone has a good shot to make it into the top 10
Thanks for recommending Elemental Survivors (and Holocure, but I already knew about that one). I've been having a lot of fun with it. The devs have added fixes for some of the issues that you'd mentioned in the video. The cursor is still the same, but the bosses now either teleport ahead of you (regular bosses) or have an indicator to tell you where they are (area bosses).
The different banners in the gacha are the different Hololive generations. They release multiple Vtubers at once. There are 3 EN generations. The third just debuted. Hololive calls a wave of new Vtubers a generation. There are about 14 EN in 3 generations. So when you see Gawr Gura she has been around longer than Hakos Baelz. The default characters are the first generation of English Vtubers in Hololive. I don't know how many generations of JP were before EN. It started in Japan.
Good review, just to point out that there may never be a true 1.0 version of Holocure, the game is based on real life vtubers after all so the game will almost always have new updates every few months as long as the brand continues to grow. Just recently a new group of Hololive vtubers was launched so that "endgoal" just got shifted once more. That said, I will not be surprised if Kay Yu (the developer) has something really special for 1.0.
I mean I don't think 1.0 was ever an endgoal thats like calling minecraft version 2.something the endgoal you know these types of games are going to be constantly update especially if its fuelled by a community as huge as the hololive fandom the only time this game will ever stop updating is when hololive will stop existing or being relevant which is very unlikely
Hololive actually reached out to the creator wondering if he would be interested in getting paid to ensure the game finished it's promise of every current talent being added eventually. he said no, this is a fan game. Then proceeded to add all the ladies from the Indonesia branch to the game.
Why do people always say "vampire survivors style" when there were hundreds of games that came before vampire survivors that did the same thing? Vampire Survivors didn't invent that genre, it was just a popular game that people for whatever reason associate with the birth of the genre, which is completely false. That being said, holocure is obviously a parody of vampire survivors.
Because this is the game that became popular, for exemple. Some people call fixed angle cameras games as resident evil style but alone in the dark came first but resident evil got popular and after it dozens of clones where made, another one game is the metroidvania, why this kind of game that is a giant map you slowly progress and explore and back track to find secrets and upgrade your caracter in a map squared shaped isn't called only metroid style? why castlevania? since the first castlevania that came at same time as the first metroid was waaaaaaaay different gameplay? Because Castlevania Symphony of the Night made the same style as metroid and people decided to call it metroidvania instead of castlevania style because it changed after years and became even more popular. ANOTHER game, this one is called Rogue and came on apple pcs back in the 80s, as you can see it IS the "rogue-like" game, the first one and it is popular and after it a few games on same style got released but the game called rogue legacy became popular and many games was made after it. It's the popularity that defines the name not always because some people call vampire survivor a bullet heaven the opposit of bullet hell like gradius, raiden, recca, batsugun, some just call it a survivor game. The "souls" game first was ninja gaiden from nes because it is VERY HARD and was the foundation of the souls game but the "souls" name came from demon souls form PS3 exclusive to japan and er had to buy the international edition that came in english and not every country had the chance to get it and one day the dark souls came and it got popular. This is why, so you are free to call it anyway you wanna and nobody is going to change the way they call it. =)
It's the game that became the most popular yes but it's not like no others were popular before it. Take for example "Alien Shooter" by Sigma released in 2003 became popular enough to have multiple re-releases, two expansions, two sequels with another 3 expansions and 2 remasters. but whatever.. I just think it's kind of silly. It's like calling an arcade-style fps game a Call of Duty style game just cause that's the most popular one.
I've just been calling them 'bullet heaven' games after someone else in another comments section called them that. Instead of the enemy having all the bullets and you having a peashooter, now you have all the bullets. ...It admitly works better for games with a lot of projectile weapons.
Even if you is not into vtubers, I recommend hear hers musics. Hoshimachi Suisei is my favorite singer. She realised 2 full albuns. ruclips.net/video/a51VH9BYzZA/видео.html

No joke. I was watching Onimai and I saw Kay Yu in the credits 3 times. Also I love Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Hi Karl.
I like Holocure even more than VS. VS becoming very repetative pretty fast, and you becoming unstoppable with broken meta progression
Plus I love Hololive. You know, in clips and Vods. I don't watch streams who has time for that? Hololive has monetized cute girls. Genius.
@@Jordan-Ramses watching VODs is good as watching streams.
You could also enchant your weapons with anvil. Unfortunately many people miss this in their first or second.. or maybe more of their run. Especially if they never watch anyone playing this game.
enchanting requires you buy the enchant system in the upgrade shop its not a default feature available to the anvil.

Cover liked it to make it an official game? Thats reallt interesting

Don't forget the fandom features :)

Nice and concise review. Good job.

he said no, this is a fan game. Then proceeded to add all the ladies from the Indonesia branch to the game.
Wow, that's crazy dedication.
I love holocure but as a fan of jrpg, elemental survival caught my attention, definitely gonna take a look
Holocure still not finish tho next update will be bigger one

People aren't really sure what to call the genre
Parody isn't the right word. But I get what you're saying. But Holocure is an improvement on VS and goes beyond it.
