Ever wondered what it would be like to play a Vampire Survivors style survival game, but also be able to relax, farm, and build a base? If so, you should definitely check out this game from Indonesian developers Antitesa Studio and Hafidz Ihza Pratama. Meet Isle of Pochimoon, a game that boldly combines two addictive genres into one, wrapped in stylized 3D graphics!
Bullet Heaven, Life Sim, and Creature Collector Meet!
Essentially, Isle of Pochimoon is a bullet heaven game where your primary objective is to survive increasingly challenging enemy attacks. However, this is where it becomes unique. Amidst the intense action, you are also required to engage in a life simulation. This game successfully incorporates the best elements from various genres and combines them on one mysterious island.
Not Just Surviving, but Also Building

To survive, you don’t just need weapons. This game provides a fairly complete base building system. You can build a Woodcutter for wood, a Mine for metal, and even a Workshop for crafting items. Not to mention, you can also farm and fish. Interestingly, you can sell all your harvests and materials at the convenience store to keep your economy running.
Monster Taming & Fusion Are Key to Victory

Well, here’s the star of the show, Pochimoon! You’re not alone on this island. You can tame these cute creatures, just like in a creature collector game. But Isle of Pochimoon offers a much more interesting mechanic, namely Pochimoon Fusion. You can combine two different Pochimoons to create a unique new species! They will be your companions in battle against enemy attacks, so experimenting with fusion is the key to finding the strongest build.
Ready to Explore Pochimoon Island?
However, with the fresh combination of bullet heaven action, life sim tranquility, and monster taming excitement, Isle of Pochimoon is clearly one of the local indie games to look forward to in 2025. This game offers a complete package for those who may be bored with the same old genres and are looking for a new experience.
