R.I.P. — Reincarnation Insurance Program is a top-down roguelite shooter that its Steam page describes as merging the bullet-heaven barrage of Vampire Survivors with the gear-driven progression of Diablo. You play an employee of the titular programme, clearing screen-filling zombie tides with Divine Tech and farming gear to build the strongest loadout you can assemble.

Chart credential: R.I.P. — Reincarnation Insurance Program sits at #35 on Steam 250’s 7-day chart, down 7 places, on a rank score of 7.37 from 2,975 reviews at 77% positive — comfortably the largest review base among this week’s new entries here. Released 15 September 2026. Position read 19 September 2026.

Key features

Loot depth inside a bullet-heaven shell

Steam promises hundreds of weapons and tactical gears, recasting, and set collection. Bullet-heaven games normally reset you to zero every run, which caps how invested a session can feel. Bolting an ARPG loot economy onto that structure gives failed runs a payout, and it is the clearest reason this one has pulled thousands of reviews in a week while most of the genre does not.

Elemental weaknesses instead of one optimal build

The store page lists Burn, Freeze and Shock effects used to exploit enemy weaknesses, across SMGs, tactical shotguns and heavy rocket launchers. Damage typing is what stops the loot pile collapsing into a single best weapon — when enemies resist differently, swapping gear stays a decision rather than an upgrade.

No cover, by design

The description is blunt that there is no cover, only overwhelming firepower. That is a genre statement: positioning in bullet heavens is about crowd shaping rather than safety, and removing cover entirely keeps players moving through the horde instead of retreating from it.

Where to find it

R.I.P. — Reincarnation Insurance Program is on Steam at $10.49. Single-player, with Steam Achievements, Steam Trading Cards, partial controller support, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. Developed by WarmCore Studio, published by 2P Games.

The honest caveat

At 77% positive, this is the weakest reception of any game in this week’s set — and unlike the small-sample scores elsewhere on the chart, 2,975 reviews is enough that the number is unlikely to move much. A mixed-leaning-positive score on a loot game usually points at grind pacing or balance rather than at the core loop, so read recent reviews before buying.
