Achilles: Survivor

Released: 7/29/2025

Your legend grows with every run. Achilles: Survivor is a fast-paced, single-player bullet heaven set in Ancient Greece. Play as Achilles - or one of the legendary souls freed from Tartarus - and cut your way through endless waves of enemies. Build deadly structures, evolve your powers, and grow stronger with every run. Defeat your enemies... or die trying. Are you ready for battle? KEY FEATURES: Fast-paced bullet heaven in a world of Greek myths. Survive endless waves of enemies in this top-down action roguelite. Build to survive, not just shoot. Drop traps, healing shrines, and summon allies with a unique structure-building system that turns the tide when things get desperate. Unlock over 15 legendary survivors. Play as Achilles or one of a growing cast of mythical heroes, each with unique power and playstyle. Progression that respects your time. Complete challenges, earn Favors, and unlock permanent upgrades - get stronger with every attempt, even in defeat. You can pick different difficulties and game modes (normal, short and endless) in every run. Return to mythic Greece. Explore 4 handcrafted realms inspired by Achilles: Legends Untold - from the walls of Troy to windswept Greek coastlines. DEFEAT YOUR ENEMIES... OR DIE TRYING Achilles has never faced monsters like this - and now it’s your turn. Dive into chaotic, action-packed runs and hold your ground against relentless waves of enemies. Pick from dozens of powers and transform them mid-run in the Forge. The deeper you go, the tougher it gets. No two runs are the same - and surviving means adapting fast. BUILD LIKE A STRATEGOS Place flame turrets, raise healing shrines, or summon Myrmidons to fight at your side. Unlike other survivor-likes, your best weapon might be the map itself. Structures aren’t just defenses - they're tactical tools for crowd control, sustain, and damage that can turn the tide of battle. But remember - your resources are limited. Build smart, and you’ll live longer. WIELD THE MIGHT OF LEGENDARY HEROES Achilles made a bit of a mess escaping Tartarus. Now the world’s crawling with souls that shouldn’t be here - and you're one of them. Unlock and master a growing roster of heroes, each with a unique playstyle and signature power. From Achilles' raw melee strength to Paris' precise shots, Pythia’s devastating magic, or Brontes’ brute force - these are just a few of the heroes you can discover in the game. SURVIVE THE TRIALS OF THE OVERLORDS Every region throws new horrors at you - venomous beasts, relentless ranged attackers, and bosses that won’t give you a second chance. Learn their patterns, adapt your build, and survive escalating waves until it’s time to face an Overlord. These bosses don’t wait for you to get ready - they’ll punish weak strategies and reward smart structure placement. GET STRONGER WITH EVERY RUN Death isn’t failure - it’s part of your path. Complete challenges to unlock new characters, earn treasures and Favors, and improve your stats with long-term upgrades. The further you push, the more power you bring into your next run. EXPLORE ANCIENT GREECE Return to the world of Achilles: Legends Untold and slay them all! Battle across mythical realms drawn from Greek legend, such as Troy and the sun-scorched coasts of Greece. Each map features unique objectives, rewards, and mythological threats waiting to be conquered.
