Developer and publisher Stingbot Games brought together a roguelite skill-based showdown called Soul Survivors. Drawing inspiration from time-survival games, souls-like, and highly replayable roguelikes punctuated by taxing boss fights and ruthless enemy encounters. The title builds upon its familiar framework established by games you know and love by adding a robust combat system familiar to action-RPG fans to create a rewarding experience that encourages mastery and experimentation.
Players will fight to stay alive in an array of different stages while being bombarded by waves of foes. You will need to make micro-decisions during the peak moments of battle to prepare for the boss showdowns that arrive at timed intervals. Face the Flesh Golem in the Linden Forest and take a swing at the hulking skeleton deep below a fallen castle. But be wary, even the defeat of the boss doesn't bring victory. It merely throws heroes into Cursed mode which will ramp up the carnage and bring forward near-impossible levels of enemies.
The early access version of Soul Survivors will launch with two playable characters to start with six total planned during development, each bringing their own unique combat experiences. Stand as the stalwart Bogatyr, an armored knight equipped with earth-shattering hammers and an empowering horn. Or command legions of the undead as the Necromancer while controlling the ark of the dark sorcerer's spiked flail.
Soul Survivors is available now for Steam Early Access and Deck Verified, currently for $3.99. You can watch the Early Access Launch Trailer below.
