Warhammer Survivors

If you already play Vampire Survivors, the first minute here will feel familiar, and that is on purpose. Auroch built this with poncle. You move, the guns fire, experience drops, you circle so the horde stacks on one side. The part that is actually Warhammer shows up a minute later, when a faction trait turns on and your damage stack stops being the whole plan.

Tyranids are the clean example. A synapse creature, the sort of thing Auroch compares to a Hive Tyrant, drives nearby Termagants and Hormagaunts into a Berserk: faster, and they hit harder. Kill that creature and the little ones drop into a short stunned shock. Spray the gaunts and ignore the synapse, and a tidy run gets loud. Orks are less polite. The screen starts going red. That is the Waaagh. More of them spawn, and the ones already on you frenzy. Skaven punish the circle you were walking: a Ratling Gunner crosses and leaves a hazard lane behind it.

Pickups sit by the faction lights, and they are not all gifts. A Melta-bomb wants you to kite a mob into a delayed blast. The Purple Sun of Shyish will hit you if you stand in the light. Hellfire Ammo is the friendly one: ranged damage up, Poisoned on what you are shooting. Auroch hangs that ammo on Sternguard Veterans and names Malum Caedo in the same post. He is not in the October demo. The two you can pick today are the Legend of Catachan, who starts by throwing Frag Grenades, and Lyssa Ravenya.

The full game is 10 November 2026, at $7.99, £6.39 or €7.49, with 10% off on Steam in the first week. Saves from this demo do not come with you. If you have one evening, play the demo, then read how a run actually goes. The price table can wait.

Read these before the spec pages

The short pages further down are lookups: price, a champion name, one pickup. The three pieces above the fold are where those posts get read together.

• How a run actually goes puts Synapse, the red screen, Skaven lanes, and the nasty pickups in the order you meet them.
• Demo now, November later is the progress wipe, the two demo champions, and who Auroch has named for 10 November.
• Two settings, one screen is Aqshy against a Space Hulk, 40k grenades against Sigmar spells, and the Great Unclean One.

The store still says more than 40 champions and 75 weapons. Four weapons are named in that blurb: Boltgun, Astartes Chainsword, Whirlwind Axes, and a pot of Nuln Oil. Evolution pairs are part of the pitch. They are not in the posts, so they are not in these pages either.
