Halls of Torment is one of just a few unique titles in a genre dominated by Vampire Survivors and its many clones.
While Spellbound Survivors is prettier looking than Vampire Survivors and has a few mechanics that the former does not, it lacks the originality and promise of ongoing support required to establish itself in the highly competitive action rogue-like genre.
