Megabonk has taken the internet by storm. It’s the latest in a long line of Vampire Survivors-inspired games, only this time, it’s in 3D and packed with layers of internet humour. The jokes can be grating, but if you’ve spent more than five minutes online, you’ve probably learned how to tune that out. Do that, and you’ll find a game that’s surprisingly deep and rewarding.
The core gameplay loop is exactly what you’d expect: run around, slay waves of enemies, avoid dying, and keep upgrading your weapons until you become an unstoppable force. It’s a tried-and-true formula that’s hooked countless players, but here it feels a bit sharper and more refined. What really helps Megabonk stand out is its 3D design, which adds a welcome layer of complexity to the experience. Since your attacks are automatic, the addition of jumping alone changes everything – especially when you unlock items that boost your jumps or give you extra power while airborne.
You also need to locate specific areas to finish each stage, which keeps you actively engaged rather than zoning out with it in the background. You’ll hunt for summoning points to spawn tougher enemies with better loot, track down chests for unlocks, and locate boss arenas – all within a strict time limit that adds real tension.
Megabonk is an excellent take on the Survivors-like formula, though it could use more content. What’s here is already impressive, but with just two levels so far, there’s room to grow. If it follows the Vampire Survivors path (frequent updates, often cheap or free), it could easily become the best of its kind.
