I feel kinda greedy, but I can't help but compare the price point to Vampire: Survivors, and think it could be a bit cheaper than the asking price. Not to say that the hours aren't there, but I don't see the variety from my short time with it.
Vampire survivors past the first to market haze isn't anything special. Gameplay isn't deep, graphics are pretty substandard. I wouldn't really compare more polished indie games to that.
