Go Next!

Go Next! is a third-person horde survivor for up to four players online. Your weapons fire automatically, while you control movement and try to survive as hundreds of monsters approach from every side. Run along walls, climb them, and chain dashes, slides and bunny-hops to keep moving.

Movement and combat

The 11 worlds include fortress ramparts, pyramid walls and city rooftops that you can use as routes. Wall-run, climb and vault over walls; link dashes, slides and dive-slams; and time your jumps to gain speed with bunny-hopping. An earned double jump lets you get over the crowd. Standing still puts your run at risk.

Each level-up offers three cards, and you choose one. You start with one weapon and can carry up to four weapon slots. Weapons level up to 50 and can advance further at the anvil; they come in 11 rarity tiers, from Common to Galaxy. The game has 71 weapons, including a Solar System that orbits up to 30 planets around you, Zeus Lightning, a pocket Black Hole, a Wheel of Fortune, Heads or Tails, Mjolnir, a Goblin Catapult and a Dragon Egg. Its 131 items span 10 tiers, from Common to Galaxy.

Maps and challenges

Maps offer reasons to move and interact with the environment. You can chase, defend or overcharge totems; trade HP for gold at shrines, gamble on a capsule machine, or advance the clock by a minute and pocket the kills. Cursed chests offer better loot and are guarded by elites. Other map features include kill altars, parachute airdrops, a wandering merchant and the anvil.

Each world and its monsters drop resources that you can harvest and spend to unlock weapons and items. Every world has its own bosses, and some have a superboss. At 10:00, regular enemies stop walking and fly straight at you; they can also swim, so water is not safe. On the Extraterrestrial Base, a black hole starts eating the planets, one per minute.

Characters and progression

Choose from 22 playable characters, each with a unique passive, strengths and weaknesses, and a signature starting weapon. The roster includes a gangster who settles everything with a coin toss, an 80s gym-rat Zeus, a plague doctor, a game-show host with a wheel on his back and a scientist who carries a black hole. Any character can find any weapon.

Armour consists of a hat, ring, belt and trousers. Armour cards level up these pieces, elite drops rank them up, and your armour follows you from map to map. Between runs, spend world resources in the Upgrade Tree, where each world has a branch that unlocks weapons, items and 52 passives. In Unlocks, you can browse your collection and keep weapons and items out of your runs.

Online and ranked play

Online co-op supports up to four players through Steam lobbies, which can be public or friends-only. Leaderboards track solo, duo, trio and squad runs, and ranked seasons progress from Bronze to Grandmaster.
