SurvivalScape

SurvivalScape is a co-op survival auto-shooter for 1 to 4 players. You choose a hero, enter an arena and hold out as enemy waves grow; your hero attacks automatically, while you decide where to stand, which upgrades to take and when to push your luck. Reaching max level brings the boss. Skill determines your score, with no grinding required.

Heroes and abilities

There are 12 heroes, each with five unique abilities. The Knight spins maces and throws shields, the Archer rains arrows and lays traps, and the Wizard calls lightning and starfall. You unlock the other heroes by clearing maps and winning runs.

• Knight
• Archer
• Wizard
• Valkyrie
• Swordmaster
• Hunter
• Priest
• Rogue
• Beastmaster
• Shaman
• Druid
• Omniscient

Upgrades and Obelisks

Each level-up offers three cards. You can take a new ability or add to a stat, with a rolled rarity ranging from common to legendary. Rerolling costs health. Capturing an Obelisk of Power grants a level immediately, but you must stand still while capturing it.

Maps and bosses

The game has six maps, each with its own enemies, mechanics and boss. Clear a map to unlock the next:

• Dungeon
• Sewer
• Volcano
• Desert
• Arctic
• Garden

Game modes

Boss Rush starts you at max level and puts the boss in front of you; beating it quickly earns a higher score. Endless sends waves without a boss or an ending. In the Weekly Challenge, everyone plays the same run with the same map, hero and seed. Rerolls, health potions and Obelisks are disabled, and solo players and teams compete on one leaderboard.

Multiplayer

Play solo or online with up to three friends through Steam lobbies. Levels are shared across the team, and players can revive one another. Built-in voice chat is open-mic in the lobby; in the arena, you hear teammates according to how close they are, with push-to-talk also available.

Run-based progression

There are no permanent stat boosts, and every run starts on the same footing. Twitch integration lets your chat vote on your upgrades.
