HeroTail: Survivors

HeroTail: Survivors is a roguelike game where you lead a growing line of heroes through enemy-filled runs. You control the squad like a living snake, moving through levels as its members automatically attack. Slashing enemies, gathering coins and climbing the global leaderboard are central to each run.

Recruit and combine heroes

Choose one hero to begin. Each time you level up, recruit one of three followers to add to your line. The game has 15 unique heroes, each with different stats, attacks and abilities. Combining heroes from different sets unlocks bonuses with multiple tiers: Holy improves stuns, Tech spawns more powerups, Soldier increases damage, and other sets offer further bonuses.

Fight through the biomes

Battle distinct enemies across the Forest, Castle, Volcano and Ice biomes, each with its own atmosphere, foes and challenges. Enemies include web-spinning spiders, fiery slimes that leave burning trails, hulking golems that block your path and skeleton archers that strike back. Between waves, choose one of three upgrades, such as extra HP, increased movement speed or bonus melee, ranged or magic damage.

Upgrade between runs

Collect coins to buy permanent upgrades that strengthen future runs. Hero XP also contributes to meta-progression, so each run can build on the last. A wrong move can bring down your whole line, making each decision and recruit matter.

Leaderboards and features

The game includes a Steam leaderboard, achievements and cloud saves.
