    "20 Minutes Till Dawn" is a worthy little INDIE addition to the emerging "survivorslike" genre. But in comparison to others like "Vampire Survivors" or "HoloCure", it is pretty grindy and primitive. (most survivorslike are indie, thus 20MTD can't get special treatment..) The game starts pretty slow but can ramp up and have some pretty wild combinations. But there is a severe lack of weapons, abilities and items. In fact the game would do well with more content. From what I heard, more was promised but after full release, the game is abandoned. The color scheme is stylish and all but in a survivorslike bullet hell it all blends in. It becomes almost unplayable if your build lacks enough damage to quickly get rid of waves and all colors start melting into each other. Try dodging that. Having ranged attacks is uncommon in this genre and not appreciated when surrounded. This may be a nitpicky rant but: Lovecraftian nightmares? Just having tentacles and eyeballs attacking you, does not make it Lovecraftian or cosmic horror style from general lore. If you really want to slap on the word "Lovecraftian" on the game, then it must be at least like that pixel game: "Lovecraft's Untold Stories (2019)". This game could benefit from a bit more focus and polish. The genre survives on regular updates and must reach a respectable size first. 20MTD is like only 30% of a full game if compared to competitors. Nevertheless, it is cheap and I can play it when turning off brain and watching a show.

    Critical review alert: I was addicted to the game like other survivors games, until darkness 15. I am not joking. "Boss attacks more frequent" is a real challange, but the forest map minute 15 boss becomes something else when this happens, and no matter what I do, I cannot pass darkness 15 other than max hp/dodge/shield build. It is not fun difficult, it is "I have had enough of this game" difficult. And I feel like I am not gonna play anymore. That dashing boss mechanism does not suit with your slower movespeed when shooting mechanism... I really wanted to get all achievements before leaving the game but it is not worth it as it is. I even got the pacifist one, but cannot do darkness 15 with most heroes. Maybe change minute 15 boss with min 10 boss at least? I still recommend getting the game but forget getting all the achievements, you can try some fun builds on lower difficulties or endless mode, and when you are bored you can just consider the game finished.

    After completing this game 100% Summary: A simple, chill game to turn your brain off with as you effortlessly evaporate thousands of monsters. If you're a casual player it's definitely worth playing but if you're looking to 100% be prepared for a grind Overall rating: 3/5 ✅ I liked: [*] The visuals. This game has a pretty aesthetic that makes it nice to look at as you walk around killing everything you get close to. Once you hit late game your screen will turn into a complete mess with thousands of enemies surrounding you while your OP weapons mow them down. I for one thought this was satisfying to watch but I've seen others say it's too much, so definitely something to consider if you don't like visual clutter. [*] How casual it is. There is no story to follow or strong sense of immersion getting pushed onto you. Each run is only 20 mins so you can just boot up a quick run or play for hours, whatever you feel like/have time for. [*] The progression of unlocking things. Each level gets slightly harder but not so much that it feels like the game is against you. It's also very generous with points so you are able to unlock all characters/weapons early and experiment as much as you want. ❌ I didn't like: [*] The balance between weapons/characters. I had to complete the max level of darkness with every character and weapon. Some felt super strong, some were easy to sit back and autopilot with, but some just felt lacklustre either by requiring too much effort for not enough reward (water gun) or were just weak in general. [*] The impact of runes. I spent a decent amount of time cooking up different builds but there were only a few that really felt like they made a difference to my gameplay, so I ended up just sticking with the same build for majority of the playtime. [*] The "spread" of achievements. If you have a look through them, a lot of them are tied to just completing Darkness 15 with every character/weapon which can be alright for encouraging people to try everything in the game, but locking them all to the very end of the game ends up making it feel super grindy. I wish there was more interesting ones like Pacifist & Reckless.

    This game is amazing. It scratches both the bullet-hell and shoot-em-up itches. It allows lots of customization in your build and it gets very difficult as you progress. And if you really nail your build, the mass devastation you get to unleash at the end of the 20 minutes is very satisfying. Plus, all the characters are women! What more could I ask for?

    Simple yet good twin stick rogue-like. You actually aim unlike Vampire Survivor which I like. There are a million of these games though, so make sure you like the art style before picking this up, because that's all it has going for it compared to the mountains of other copies of this same game.
