Megabonk
- Developer: Vedinad
- Release date: September 18, 2025
- Platforms: PC
Megabonk[1] has all the hallmarks of a meme game, but there’s actually a lot of fun to be had in this 3D take on Vampire Survivors. It borrows heavily from Risk of Rain, too, in that your objective for each map is to find and summon the boss from a portal. Upon defeating it, you’ll move on to the next stage or trigger the endgame, depending on how far in the current map’s tier limit you reach. Characters range from a high-looking wizard fox to a skateboarding skeleton, and even “Megachad”. Each one has their own unique traits; the fox gains luck per level up, the skeleton increases speed over time and loses half of it when hit, and Megachad can ‘flex’ to ignore an attack.
As you finish quests to earn achievements, you’ll also unlock the ability to buy new items in each run, just like in Vampire Survivors. Tonally, it’s just as bizarre as Poncle’s smash hit, but visually quite primitive in a charming way that really reminds us of Runescape with a hype soundtrack that is perfectly suited to its chaotic gameplay. It may take you a while to fully get to grips with Megabonk, particularly when it comes to fighting its colossal-sized monsters, but with more maps, weapons, characters, and items on the way, as well as multiplayer promised by the developer Vedinad, it’s no surprise that it was selling as well as it did on launch.
