I can't pinpoint yet what makes some bullet heavens so addictive to me and some hard to get into. I can speculate that it has something to do with gameplay in which you feel overpowered and bullet heavens in which you can turn the speed on to make grinding much more fun. However, I can tell you for sure that I got so addicted to this one and enjoyed it so so much. For me, it comes really close to
Vampire Survivors . the biggest difference might be that in Nomad Survival there isn't a limit on how many different active and passive skills you can have, it is just limited by how much exp you collect during a run. However I can see the downside to this is that you have your favorite upgrades and always try to go for those, but the challenges and achievements will challenge you to try out something different.
Nomad Survival has such fun achievements. I had a lot of fun hunting those down while also grinding for currency in this game and just becoming stronger and stronger in the meantime without having to focus on that. The challenges can be quite challenging, it is in the name :P, but there are things you can do to make it much easier. One of the hardest is on map 1 challenge 2 where you heal by damaging enemies but get hurt when killing them, there you want to do a low amount of damage a lot of times. I'm sure it should still be possible when you have bought skill upgrades with gemstones (not talking bout the pet skills) but it is much much easier when you don't have done that. Because the skill upgrades you bought with gold can be reset, and that is not the case with the gemstone upgrades. And resetting them so you do less damage each hit can be such a life safer in this challenge.
