I'm sure that if this conversation gets going people will mention Roguelites, and that's fine of course, you do you, but what I'm actually looking for are the games that operate more on an arcade timescale and mechanical complexity level. I really love the way the survival mode in that game builds to absolutely unmanageable levels and the way you get to build out your perks and weapon combos along the way, in a much quicker and more compressed cycle than something like a Roguelite. Sometimes I turn to actual games from the arcade era, like Dragon Spirit: The New Legend, Blazing Star, or just straight up Gradius, but recently I've found myself playing a bunch of Crimsonland, a twin stick shooter has mentioned as a personal obsession of his and one that goes great in short survival mode bursts. I love a nice long single player campaign full of story and progression as much as anyone, but I'm also an old school gamer and sometimes I like to turn my brain off and play a simple game for a quick fix of fun.
