I take it, that you never played vampire survivors?

Its pretty much a kind of game genre that has popped up last year or so. Most weapons are like in that game and the idea is, that those secondary weapons get more and more powerful if you level them up
I have played VS, put quite a few hours into it in fact and still play it every now and then.
Here's the thing, weapons in VS aren't just "lolrandom", a lot of thought, care and playtesting has gone into making them worthwhile and fun to use.
Except for the cats, they're random as fuck and every time they're offered to me, I regret not having quit out of that character's run early.
Compare the Holy Water in both games for example, you might think VS's version is random, but that's only partially true.
It's based on the amount of bonus projectiles you have, with 1-4 (IIRC) the first vial always impacts close to your character.
A random spot, yes, but close enough that it'll hit enemies nearby or you can guide them into it.
The remainder do hit sort of at random in a certain area around you, but in VS that isn't such a kick in the nuts, as out of bounds zones aren't a constant thing (unless you want them to be) and after 2-3 minutes, there's enough enemies coming from everywhere that even those random impacts usually hit something.
With 5 or more projectiles (again IIRC), it switches to a circle pattern at a fixed distance away.
Here's what that looks like later on:
Looks kind of spiral-ish, but that's due to the evolution moving toward your character.
Other "random" weapons target a random enemy, so unless everything in that direction dies before the projectile arrives (unlikely, since there's a constant stream spawning off screen), they will always hit something.
Other weapons follow a clear pattern and can be guided onto the target, if there's not enough of them that they'll hit anyway.
And that's as random as it gets.
Meanwhile in the Isekai Frontline crapshow?
Holy Water? Random as fuck.
Grenades? Random as fuck.
Drones? Random as fuck.
Out of bounds zones? All over the place.
Amount of enemies after five minutes of play? Pitiful.
Boxes that take ~45% of your health for no reason other than lolrandom? Fuck off.
There's a reason VS still is fun to me after hours of play, while I deleted this game after less than 15 minutes.
Adding bobs and vagene does not make this weak attempt at copying VS's gameplay interesting or fun enough that I'm willing to put up with it.
