I’d argue twin stick shooters like this are VS grandpa.
Random-ish waves of enemies, bullet hell, increasing difficulty… The main differences are the powerups instead of permanent level ups, usually the lack of autoaim (right?) and maybe lack of meta progression.
Crypt of the Necrodancer lets you add custom music. I don’t think it is able to handle music streaming though it is a bit of a manual process iirc. The gameplay is pretty different from Vampire Survivors. Basically enemies all move and attack in patterns that increment based on a beat, and you need to time your movement and attacks to the beat as well. Fun game
I want a vampire-survivors style game that integrates with my music streaming and the enemies/weapons sync to the music I’m playing.
Did you ever try Audiosurf?
Yeah it’s nothing like what I described other than I pick my own music.
Have you ever played audiosurf?
Yeah, but have you checked out frets on fire. It too can have your own music. Although… That’s even further from a vampire survivor game.
Theres a twin stick shooter in space that syncs to your music. No clue what its called anymore. It came a few years after audiosurf!
Beat Hazard
Thats the one!
Good call, def will check this out
Beat Hazard is sort of close, though a different theme. If you put it on one-stick mode (auto-aim) it plays more like Vampire Survivors.

Interesting! I can already picture the min/max song playlists going around lol
