Survivor Mercs

Survivor Mercs is a roguelite squad-building game about fighting M.E.G.A. Corp.’s private robot army. You lead a team of armed mercenaries as a disposable Commander clone, whose randomly selected traits shape each run. The battle is about surviving and securing loot, not glory: die and you lose your loot; make it out and you can use your spoils to strengthen your forces.

Lead your squad

Each Commander clone is generated from more than 15,000 trait combinations. Traits can create very different approaches, such as leading an Infiltrator with hawk-eyed and sly traits, fighting solo as a nocturnal, greedy One-Man Army, or playing as a brilliant, vampiric Ninja. Trait combinations bring their own challenges, mechanics and synergies. You can guide your mercenaries with tactical abilities or fight actively alongside them, aiming, shooting and dashing with dozens of twin-stick weapons and abilities.

You assemble a squad from a roster of mercenaries, each with a distinctive loadout, behavior and specialization tree. Call in clone reinforcements, choose specializations for the operation and equip your team with gear to improve its combat effectiveness. Finding the right squad build for each challenge is part of every run.

Run operations

You take the fight to M.E.G.A. Corp. and its subsidiaries across multiple stages and procedurally generated maps. Capture objectives to call in reinforcements, complete missions and collect valuable loot. Enemies grow more numerous and powerful with every minute, so you must reach the extraction point and defend it until your choppa carries you to the next stage. Survive long enough and you face massive bosses and their underlings.

Each operation has different stages, mission parameters and difficulty tiers, along with distinct maps, bosses, elites and enemies. Story Missions introduce your mercenaries, expand your arsenal and bring you into conflict with the secret plans of M.E.G.A. Corp.’s bosses.

Build your forces

Spend loot between operations to hire mercenaries, buy gear, research traits and weapons for Commander clones, and expand your bunker HQ. Building and upgrading rooms unlocks tactical options and permanent bonuses. Gear items can modify and improve your squad during operations.

Co-op for up to five

You can team up with up to four friends, who control mercenaries and fight alongside you as Commander. Couch co-op allows players to join or leave at any time, either together in person or remotely through Steam Remote Play Together.
