20 Minutes Till Dawn

A decent bullet hell game. Not as dense as Vampire Survivors. Solid, worth a shot. Decent completion. Forces you to play through each character. 7.0/10

kinda fun, i wish there was sprinting and also an energy drink and also wungu

A fantastic rogue like. Great style, fun progression, cool builds. Not something you can play forever but you get your money worth out of this game. Well done.

While the game is $5, has a certain simplicity that lets you have a quick game, and waste a bit of time, I can't recommend it because it is just not intriguing. I just wouldn't put it above Halls of Torment or Vampire Survivors. I would even recommend UBERMOSH over this. That being said, it is exactly what is advertised. Praise to the devs, but it's not going to get any recommendation from me.

YES, very fun game, and I put way to many hours into it, best in its class, may want a good computer in infinite mode, its fun to see how long you can last

Really fun time killer. Similar to Vampire Survivors but better in its own way.

It's easy and intuitive to pick up and offers a lot of versatility in terms of play styles. I really like exploring all the different synergies between the upgrades and items, which is what I'd consider to be the strongest selling point. It's very satisfying to play for that reason. I wish there were more types of enemies but for a $5 game it still delivers quite a lot of unique weapons, summons and upgrades.. hard to complain

very good game, the best vampire survivors roguelike by far in my opinion

Tense, stylish, and insanely satisfying. Manual shooting, deep builds, and non-stop action. Perfect for fans of Vampire Survivors who want more skill and strategy. A 20-minute run you'll want to play 100 times.

Short simple game. Fun, but gets repetitive. The difficulty and difference between levels/runs isn't much.

Quite possibly the worst controller support a game could have. Even just going through UI on the title screen is broken. Aiming in game just translates stick to mouse movement. Moving makes the screen jitter for some reason. Insane that this game is somehow Steam Deck verified.

Physically can't keep playing, the enemies, map and character being such similar colours strains the eyes, and managed to give me a headache less than half an hour in. Also a vampire survivor clone with no autofire is asinine.

An A tier time passer if it had an autofire toggle. Super clean game, but also super needs this for QOL - would flip my review instantly if added

Simply overrated and miserable gameplay with only a few good weapons and characters to choose from. Item synergies are boring and barely making a difference in stats or anything related to it. If that wasnt enough the gameplay feels very slow which makes it really tidious. The only good thing about it is the artstyle but thats about it. Reconsider if you are about to buy this game if you havent played the good alternatives yet.

Really tired of fighting the controller for movement and control of my gun ...

Need an option to unlock all because the gameplay loop is too stale and it takes a long time to grind upgrades .

Art style gets you a bit confused when the screen is full with enemies but nothing you can't handle. Love playing it.

[h1]Overall = 8 / 10[/h1] A dark and stylish arena shooter. The simple game play loop combined with unlockable upgrades, weapons and abilities makes each run entertaining and encourages you to try again with different tactics, but the rounds do tend to fall into the same routine and lack variety. Having to incrementally up the difficulty to unlock most the achievements is a bit of a grind especially as there’s only 3 maps and sets of enemies, but the kooky music, stylish animations and overall setting make up for it. Combat isn’t that varied but it is challenging and has a rhythm of swinging between ‘just surviving against an ever growing number of enemies’ and ‘being an unstoppable force of death and destruction’, but the bosses and dark atmosphere mean you never feel truly safe. Victory is satisfying enough and it is fun to play in short sessions, but more maps, enemy types and build varieties would have made it better especially as you can unlock everything quite quickly.

great builds and near infinite replay value highly recommend

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. i have less than 2 hours in this game and couldn't refund despite it being a chore because it falsely inflated my game time to 45 hours. Steam is absolutely going to fuck you on this one

Does not have auto fire - you have to hold the right trigger down the entire time you're playing. Deal breaker for me 5 min in I refunded.

pretty good game not my genre but still had quite a bit of fun

Good, but lacking in content and It doesnt seem like the dev will be working on this anymore. Worth it with the price

This game is amazing and you should buy it, however, I have some minor complaints. A near perfect run is based on what upgrades you get at what time. Some upgrades allow for stat increases with number of kills, heals or minutes since the upgrade was acquired. It can be very frustrating basing a build off of these stats and just not getting the upgrade every level. I'm not sure what would be a fix for that, I know it's part of the game, but it does annoy me. Second, the pre-game upgrade of having the two stones fly around you that pushes away enemies has no way of signalling when it is going to pulse. This has resulted many times in me walking around and preparing to dodge monsters, only to have them be pushed another direction, hitting me and losing me health or a shield. There should be a sparkle indicating a pulse is coming, otherwise they do more harm than good.

What this game needs is a Workshop implementation and more QoL improvements, thats it for me, otherwise it is perfect.

i noticed i havent reviewed this game yet. I love this genre i always play some of these games once in a while. While this particular game did not grasp me i would say its still a good game that deserves a possetive review. The art is of high quality, while its not the ascetic i am normally for "mainly the color pallet" it still is in my opinion well executed. The meta progression is more unique then most games, you have Def and ATK runes out of a set you can only select 1 def and 1 atk rune per level tier. you can only use the next tier once you spend at least 5lv's in each tier. so at lv 5 you unluck the next tier of dev or atk runes. you can wear 1 per type per lv tier so its not just lving up different types. The lv ups during the mission are in my opinion more unique also having rare ones that really change every run you play. picking the correct combination of these rare skills and normal skills will build your synergy in the run to either decimate your foes or otherwise get eaten by the mob.

A fun game to play in its 20 minute intervals. Kind of easy to lock into a character and weapon you like and ignoring the others, but I think you have have fun with any of them once you figure out their quirks.

I find 20 Minutes Till Dawn to be enjoyable, but it's not something I would and do play all the time. It's fun to see how far you can get or how far you can push yourself, but there isn't a whole lot to do, but you have to keep in mind that this is also a mobile game. I would still recommend this game, as there really aren't any glaring details, and it's still pretty fun. Hopefully the next update is good.

So far, this is my favorite Rogue-Like/Survivor- Game. Whatever you call this genre. I first saw this game as the original 10 minutes till dawn, played it like once, loved it, and then forgot about it. A while later, I get re-introduced to it from a friend and after playing it for a while, I realized just how good it was. The game manages to provide you just enough power to feel ahead, while giving you the constant feeling that if you do not choose the right upgrades, your lead could be overtaken 10 fold. Its tricky and difficult, but most of the real difficult comes from the character/weapon parings. Choose the Grenade Launcher, damage upgrades, and the Blast Shield upgrade and you can win with just about any character. But what if you want to combine the Magic Bow Lightning Evolution with Spark, the lightning based character....well now that gets tricky. If you can get the build online just right, you feel like a GOD....but even if you take the right upgrades but at the wrong time...you will lose. Its fun and I CANT wait to try out whatever the developer is cooking up next with the next 20MTD game. 10/10. If you like these types of games, you wont be disappointed. It was so addicting that even my adhd brain was willing to 100% the game (achievements & all)

Chill game. Worth especially if on sale.
