I am not a professional gamer nor do I have much time to invest into a game in one stretch. However I do enjoy the cumulative progress I make with each session I have with the games, specifically progress of acquiring loot, money, powers or in-game materials. Are there any games that try to match my interests?

An example of such games would be Papa Louie’s food games. Though these are very simplistic and made for kids, their per-day game sessions (which last about 10 minutes) perfectly fit the idea of the type of game I am looking for. (I could have come up with a more appropriate or mature example, but that is exactly the point why I am looking for similar games.)

I have looked into the genre of roguelikes, however the basic premise of these games are that they start all over again from each session, which is what I am trying to avoid.

I can play on PC (controller included) and mobile. Apart from this, I would really appreciate if the game is under 10GB, single-player and is just easy in general to understand and play.

    It’s interesting that this has now become its own genre! I haven’t actually played any - what games are there besides Vampire Survivors and Brotato?

      Halls of Torment is probably my favorite “clone”. Feels like “Vampire Survivors, but Diablo”.
      Soulstone Survivors is also pretty good.

        Thanks - I wasn’t aware of either of those before! Is VS still the best of the lot?

          I think it’s still considered the baseline gold standard, but there are an absolute ton of games in that genre that have followed it.

          Soulstone Survivors is probably the 2nd most popular from what I hear when people mention them.
          20 Minutes Till Dawn is another I hear mentioned a fair bit.

          HumbleBundle had a bundle a while ago that featured:
          Rogue Genesia
          Boneraiser Minions
          Nomad Survival
          Bounty of One
          Just King
          Scarlet Tower
          Neon Sundown
          Repetendium

          Army of Ruin is the best VS game imo, and surpasses it. After playing it, going back to VS is bleeeh :)
