HoloCure - Save the Fans!

무료라고 믿기지 않는 퀄리티. 다양한 캐릭터와 무기 조합들, 그리고 각종 미니게임들은 플레이어에게 뛰어난 만족감을 준다. 홀로라이브를 좋아한다면, 무조건 만족할 게임.

With my completion of Holocure's achievements, I believe I can finally give a review of this game. Ever since starting Holocure one morning after watching Gawr Gura play it in July 2022, Holocure has been a constant thing in my life for nearly 3 years now, from grinding Kronii runs during English class back in Vr 0.3, Stage 2 Hard kicking my ass, doing Irys coin farms during School Musical practice, to now, sitting in my room writing this review. Back in 2022, I had only dipped my head into the rabbit hole, and though Mori's release of her second album Sinderella made me check on it a few times, this game is the thing that made me fall in. Now then, the review. Gameplay 9/10: The variety of possible item load outs and unique characters make this game one of, if not the most re-playable experiences I've ever seen, when first starting this game, to even 50 hours in to the Steam release, I found myself constantly shocked by different weapon, item, stamp and skill synergies that worked unexpectedly well together, and the randomised nature of it all ensures that, unless you actively seek certain items, each run is different from each other. Each character has archetypes, from Healers, to hit and runners. Even when 100 hours in, each character's different skills and unique quirks changed how I approached my builds as I tested them out in my first run, attempted a build in my second and refined it in my third run, as I Gachikoi'd them. The level design and level difficulty was also thought out well as each new Stage introduces a new gimmick which the Hard version refines. The levels also encourage you to try out different characters if one doesn't work, or try new builds, the level of different ways you could approach each level was also really fun to figure out. In terms of the main gameplay, Holocure only fails at the recently added Super Collabs, added in Vr. 0.6. They're too overpowered for how little variety there is, as they either fall into 1 of 5 focuses, but it's such a little blemish on otherwise such an amazing gameplay loop, easily changed as more Super Collabs are added. Another problem I had was with the amount of weapons you could get, as I found myself artificial restricting how many weapons I could use so I could better utilise character skills. On the other side is the Holohouse and its side modes, each minigame is fairly well made, and gives a nice break in between runs, and I found the new Tower of Suffering a good side game to beat, as I had a fair amount of fun with it. The variety of minigames in the Casino is pretty nice, my only problem with it is how overpowered the slot machines were, it made the rest worthless in the long run. Visuals 10/10: The pixel art in this game is absolutely amazing and vibrant, and the UI has this great charm to it too. I also want to commemorate Kay Yu's use of texels so things such as a rotating duck sausage were pixel perfect with the surroundings, it made the visuals more consistent throughout. Music 10/10: Although they're all remixes, Eufrik did an amazing job on the soundtrack, some of my favourites being Halloween Castle and Gelora Bung Yagoo: Night, which add things that actually makes me somewhat prefer them over the original songs, Gelora Bung Yagoo: Night especially, as it is completely re-contextualised in the game. Overall 10/10: This game is a marvel of a free game, with more content, polish and replayability than many AAA games coming out currently, not to mention that what is here is just plain fun, like many roguelites, the game encourages replayability and progression through the achievement system, Gachikoi and permanent upgrades, but also includes more variety in items, characters and stages than even the game it's based off of, Vampire Survivors.Holocure is a large part of my recent life, and though I may have '100%ed it' there is still so much more to unlock, so I'm sure that I will continue playing this game more and more.

The best free game on Steam. Amazing visuals and an even more amazing formula that is unironically better than the inspiration Vampire Survivors. It's a must play for anyone who wants to burn 30 minutes and doesn't know what to play.

For a free game with this quality, I cannot give anything besides a score of 10. Super addictive and fun, with A LOT of great references from a lot of different Hololive personas.

The gameplay is so freaking addictive just like my blue sky

Unbelievably great game! I honestly love every minute playing it. And, of course, I must say this: A. P.S.: Can't wait to finally be able play as Pekora. Ha ← Ha → Ha ↑ Ha ↓

Everybody knows about Vampire Survivors but this game is a bit better in many ways. It's been made by a small team of fans within the Hololive community and the amount of love that is put into it clearly shows.
