What kind of game is Warhammer Survivors?

It’s a survivors-style roguelite made in partnership with poncle, the studio behind Vampire Survivors. You steer one champion through endless waves while weapons fire on their own, stacking weapons and power-ups until the screen fills with bolter rounds and magic. Weapons evolve into stronger forms when you combine the right items.

The arsenal holds more than 75 weapons, from the Boltgun and the Astartes Chainsword to a pot of Nuln Oil, the Warhammer paint. Gold you collect makes you stronger for future runs, and paint pots found on the battlefield unlock new character forms and secrets.

Champions, enemies and stages

You choose from more than 40 champions across both universes:

  • Malum CaedoThe Ultramarine from Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun;
  • Commissar Sebastian YarrickAnd Trooper Kozlowski, defenders of the Imperium;
  • Neave BlacktalonA Stormcast Eternal from Age of Sigmar;
  • the Legend of CatachanA fast guerrilla fighter who starts with frag grenades.

A keyword system decides who can use which weapon. Pick up a weapon your champion can’t wield, and an ally joins your squad to use it for you; followers can’t take damage, so the squad grows into a moving wall of firepower.

Nearly every stage has its own enemy faction, from the ashen plains of Aqshy to the corridors of a Space Hulk, while the Hobby Table stage throws several factions at you at once. You fight Tyranids, Orks, the Death Guard, Skaven, the Gloomspite Gitz and the Blades of Khorne, with screen-filling bosses such as Ghazghkull Thraka, Vizzik Skour and the Great Unclean One.

Demo, Steam Deck and features

A new free demo has been on Steam since Oct. 6. Demo progress doesn’t transfer to the full game. The game is Steam Deck Verified, and the minimum PC specs ask for Windows 10, 4 GB of RAM and a GTX 750.

On Xbox, it’s optimized for Xbox Series X and S and supports Xbox Play Anywhere, achievements and cloud saves. On Switch 2 and Switch, it plays in TV, tabletop and handheld modes with cloud saves for Nintendo Switch Online members. The ESRB rates it Everyone 10+ for fantasy violence and mild blood. For more console launches, see our upcoming Switch 2 games and upcoming PS5 games lists, and for a bigger Warhammer project, our Total War: Warhammer 40,000 page.
