Symphorix

Symphorix is a roguelite survivor game where music shapes combat. Choose from over 200 included instrumental and lyrical tracks, or import your own songs. Each track carries bonuses and synergy effects, so your choice affects how you build your fighting setup. In the endless void, beings born of raw energy feed on one another, and your Core must fight, consume and adapt to survive.

The Core and its nodes

The Core is a living engine of energy, with sixteen sub-nodes that determine how its attacks take shape. You configure it with two types of nodes:

• Exhaust Nodes: Fixed points that unleash attacks such as projectiles, sprays, lasers and mines.
• Orbital Nodes: Turrets that orbit the Core and automatically face the nearest enemies, or detach as drones to chase enemies across the arena before returning to formation.

Each beat drives the Core, while each note determines when its energy is released. Moving the Core generates Kinetic Energy, which powers kinetic attacks and slow-motion, giving you time to dodge or strike precisely amid the action.

Songs, synergies and upgrades

You can align beats with nodes to create synergies. Bass synergies link distant nodes, mid-tone synergies connect neighbors’ neighbors, Treble synergies form between direct neighbors, and Orbitals can sync when aligned. Synergies multiply effects and enhance damage, working alongside the bonuses carried by your chosen song.

You can apply speed, damage, range and other stats to the Core and its Exhaust or Orbital Nodes. Collect energy globes during a match to earn coins and unlock new nodes, notes and permanent upgrades, expanding your options from run to run.

Energy globes also level up the Core and offer a choice of three random upgrade cards: Common, Rare or Legendary. Cards can improve stats or unlock new effects, and rerolls let you seek different options. At the end of a match, your collected energy becomes coins to spend on unlocks for future battles.

Enemies and waves

Each of the twelve notes spawns a distinct enemy type, with its own attacks, movement and death effects. Enemies include cannibal swarms, healers and retreating units. They arrive in escalating waves that grow more intense until the music unleashes a powerful boss.

Run through the void

Choose a song or build a playlist, configure your Core with nodes, stats and synergies, then enter the battlefield. Adapt with upgrades, defeat enemies and survive waves of bosses; earn coins and unlock new options as you grow stronger from battle to battle.
