HoloCure (ホロキュア, Horokyua) is a free Hololive fan made game developed by Kay Yu. The game draws heavy inspiration from Vampire Survivors and Magic Survival.[1] The game became so popular, such that the development team had to turn off the leaderboards.[2]
Plot
Set in the year 20XX, virtual idols have won the hearts of many on the internet. However, one day, an evil force brainwashes the fans and turns them into mindless minions. Hololive talents must now work to "cure" the fans and save them.
Gameplay
The gameplay is similar to Vampire Survivors. Players must move characters in an infinite 2D space, while swarms of mobs come on screen from all directions. As players kill mobs, they drop items. Most commonly, they drop experience points in the form of the Hololive logo. The experience points level up the characters, which give them access to a number of choice power ups to be selected upon each level up.
Two modes of gameplay are available: Stage and Endless. In stage mode, players must defeat the final boss to mark completion. In endless mode, players must survive the game as long as possible, while accumulating score.
Characters
The following are playable characters in-game. Each have their own unique set of power ups and special ability. The first five characters from Hololive English -Myth- are available as default characters. Additional characters must be pulled via the game's gacha system. More characters are planned to be added in future updates.
Power ups
The game offers a large number of power ups for the characters. Each character has their own exclusive set of power ups. The rest are made available for all characters, and some have particular references to All members. All can be upgraded a number of times, while some can actually be combined as "collaboration" for additional power.
