Boneraiser Minions is a truly superb production, and not just because it makes a Bernard’s Watch reference. It’s a silly yet fiercely addictive survive ‘em up brimming with charismatic originality. From its premise to its unit-based spin on the genre to its multitude of unlocks and upgrades, this beautiful bit of nonsense won my heart with incredible ease. Boneraiser is the kind of game I’m excited to think about, and the constant cock talk is just a boners… sorry, a bonus. No complaints. No notes. Boneraiser Minions is simply exquisite.
It’s hard to disentangle oneself from Boneraiser Minions. It’s chock full of content, really fun to play, it’s even legitimately funny and of course extremely addictive. Can you stomach the simplistic pixel art? If so, you’re going to spend ungodly amounts of time in this game and you’re going to enjoy every minute of it.

This game is not a mere clone, it's one of the most ambitious adaptations of the formula, adding features unseen in other titles within the genre, like customizable maps that you can buy items to place on to help you, plus an extremely deep class system with progression, all combined with an extremely unique and gorgeous aesthetic, a wonderful soundtrack, and a ton of heart, down to the dev releasing updates almost daily, sometimes twice a day.
This game is less a Vampire Survivors clone, and more in the realm of one of those games that would've came out on the SNES and been a cult classic that people continue to rave about for 30 years.

If Vampire Survivors created a new genre, Boneraiser exemplifies it. I've truly never been so enamored with a $5 game before, and I don't think i've ever seen such a simple premise so jampacked with content. Truly deserving of a 10/10.

Boneraiser Minions pushes the bullet hell survival genre in new directions with fresh ideas, and an addictive gameplay loop. The clean, retro visuals are fantastic and the improved accessibility options make Boneraiser Minions easy to enjoy. The fun classes and interesting minions create a deep layer of strategy and potential builds as you take your revenge on King Gigald. At just $4.99, Boneraiser Minions is a great value and can provide dozens of hours of entertainment.
A great "survivor" game that I found much more fun than VS itself. A more dynamic and challenging gameplay loop compared to others in the sub-genre. Great chiptunes and hours of entertainment. Played entirely on the Steam Deck and it was a great experience. Also an amazing example of a developer who is very willing to put in the time and effort on continued support and active development on their game.
