Doom Survivor: Horde Rush

Doom Survivor: Horde Rush is a bullet hell survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world. You play as a hero fighting zombie hordes and mutated bosses while protecting humanity’s last hope. Positioning, combinations of weapons and talents, and resource management shape each battle. Across 18 progressively challenging difficulty levels, you collect gold and gems to unlock heroes, weapons and talents.

Heroes

The game has five heroes, each with a distinct mechanic and talent direction:

• Ada: The starting hero, with high movement speed. She works especially well with attack speed, projectile count and ricochet.
• Leon: Ada’s boyfriend. Every third shot fires a fireball that deals 3 burning damage per second to enemies. Fire skills support a sustained burn build.
• Alice: A clone hero. When an enemy dies, she fires a homing skull bullet that deals 5 damage to nearby foes. Summon-enhancing skills support her summoner playstyle.
• Wesker: Ada’s colleague. His bullets deal an additional 3 lightning damage on hit, and lightning skills complement his attacks.
• Code:6B: A mass-produced AI. After dashing, Code:6B leaves a phantom that wields a giant sword and deals damage equal to your bullet damage to nearby enemies. The hero suits dash-focused weapon builds and impact skills.

Weapons

There are 11 weapons, each with its own attack method and preferred heroes. Combining a weapon, hero and talent creates different battle styles.

• Pistol: The starting weapon, balanced across its attributes and suitable for any hero.
• Shotgun: Fires at short range with a wide area of effect, making it useful for close-range crowds.
• Crossbow: Its bullets pierce one enemy. While you stand still, bullet damage increases over time and resets when you move.
• Fire Gun: Bullets deal 3 burning damage per second to enemies hit; it pairs with Leon for a sustained burn build.
• Dual Pistols: Fire two bullets at once and have high burst potential.
• Dragon Lance: Fires homing bullets shaped like dragons that scale with summon damage bonuses; it is suited to summoner builds such as Alice’s.
• Grenade Launcher: Fires grenades that explode and deal area-of-effect damage.
• Bow: Arrows stick into the ground, then are automatically retrieved after a while and damage enemies on their return flight.
• Laser Gun: A ranged weapon whose powerful beam pierces through everything.
• Vacuum Blade: Rapidly fires sword waves that deal area-of-effect damage at both melee and ranged distances.
• Alien Rifle: Fires bullets that pierce enemies and bounce off the edges of the screen.

Masks and wings

The fashion system includes six masks and six wings, which provide stat bonuses as well as different effects.

• Bat Mask: Increases Luck, which raises the chance of item drops from oil barrels. Exploding barrels deal massive damage to zombies.

• Assault Mask: Increases pickup range.
