Steam holds hundreds of surprises in its depths almost every month. There are arguably too many games coming out on every platform on a regular basis, but Steam has the unique advantage of lower submission requirements, so tons of indie developers can more easily create their dream and put it on Steam.

Now live on Steam, you can play a game celebrated by thousands of fans and holding an overwhelmingly positive rating at the time of publication. The best part? It’s free, no strings attached. Some fans even ask in the Steam reviews: “How is this even free?”

Vampire Survivors Fans Take Note

Now live on Steam, HoloCure – Save the Fans has received overwhelmingsupport since its launch. Developed and published by KayAnimate, the game lets you play as VTubers, clearing out armies of mind-controlled fans in a format similar to Vampire Survivors.

Some studios call it “Bullet Heaven” (since the bullets come from you, not enemies), and your job is to take out hundreds of enemies at a time as you progress through each level. The game seems to have plenty of characters to choose from, as well as a town-like hub, and the ability to manage workers and cook food.

Here’s everything you need to know: “Play as your favorite Vtubers from Hololive! Fight, explore, and clear your way through armies of fans and save them from their mind-control in this unofficial free fan-game. This is a free, unofficial fangame featuring the vtuber talents of Hololive and its surrounding community, with gameplay heavily inspired by Vampire Survivors and Magic Survival. Collect powerful weapons and items and experiment with all kinds of character builds to create the ultimate character! Will you be able to save the endless waves of fans, and reach the top rankings?”

Yes, this game is truly free, and you can play it on a variety of machines thanks to its low requirements. It’s a single-player adventure with controller support, so it’s pretty breezy to boot up and get into.

Play HoloCure For Free Now

So far, fans are loving it: “A very good roguelike despite being free, the hololive references are pretty fun to look at too despite not being into hololive myself. The gameplay is way too good; I kinda wish that I could support the developer more for this game development.”

Others love the fact that it’s free: “Let me start by saying… HOW IS THIS GAME FREE!?!?!?! If you are a fan of Vampire Survivors or that buillet-hell style of game you are gonna love this. It has all the depth of VS but with even more depth. There are 3 types of items, Weapons which are obviously the way you kill enemies, items that give you a bunch of different passive buffs and what not, and lastly skills which are unique passive skills for each character. Speaking of every character has a unique weapon and item just for them.”

If you’re looking for a new Steam obsession, HoloCure – Save the Fans might be it. Since it’s truly free with no strings attached, you won’t hit a microtransaction roadblock early in the game, either.
