FAQ

HoloCure - Save the Fans! FAQ

Q1 What kind of game is HoloCure? ▼
A

A free survival-action game based on hololive VTubers. The developer explicitly describes it as a free, unofficial fan game inspired by Vampire Survivors and Magic Survival. Developed by KayAnimate; released on Steam August 16, 2023. Japanese supported.

Q2 Is it really free? Do I need to pay? ▼
A

Distributed as free to play on Steam. For those who are new to the Survivor genre, this is a very easy entry point.

Q3 An official Hololive game? ▼
A

No, it's an unofficial fan game. The developer himself clearly states this on his store page. You can play it even if you don't know Hololive, but viewers will have the added fun of playing with familiar characters.

Q4 How is it different from Vampire Survivors? ▼
A

The main difference is the subject matter and the fact that it's free. As the official cites ``Vampire Survivors'' as an influence, the framework of the game is of the same type. It is also effective to first get familiar with the system with this free game, and if you like it, move on to [Vampire Survivors](/games/vampire-survivors/).

Q5 What should beginners keep in mind? ▼
A

I'm looking for a position that won't get surrounded and a combination of weapons. As a common principle in Survivor games, survival is directly linked to continuing to move in an open direction before the enemy density increases. On top of that, the fun of this work is the trial and error that the official says is ``cultivating the strongest character by trying out various things.''
