'Soul Survivors' Gets Steam Early Access Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on April 10, 2023 @ 10:36 a.m. PDT

Soul Survivors is a dark fantasy time survival game with minimalistic gameplay and roguelite elements.

Prepare your soul for total destruction as you slaughter hordes of enemies throughout the Lands of Chaos.

Suit up and head into combat against waves of enemies threatening to overrun unprepared champions in the Lands of Chaos. Weave in and out of progressively more challenging foes, auto-attacking to cut a path forward and absorbing souls from felled creatures to level up and acquire powerful new abilities. Cast down legions of shambling zombies, corrupt mages, and giants in tense showdowns across richly detailed pixel-art stages.

Charge into enemy hordes as the powerful Bogatyr, or use the realm’s undead legions as the Necromancer. In Soul Survivors, each character class features distinct active and passive abilities to provide for wildly differing playstyles. Spend hard-earned gold accrued during sessions to unlock persistent Talent Tree upgrades for different characters, boosting stats affording even more firepower in subsequent sessions.

Alter a character’s auto-attack in dynamic ways by spending experience-granting souls. Transform Bogatyr’s standard sword into an AOE-inducing hammer with the Iron Smash ability or upgrade to the Butcher’s Blade to deliver powerful overhead strikes capable of cleaving through waves of deadly foes. Experiment with different character builds across numerous runs to create the perfect champion capable of outlasting thousands of enemies and challenging malicious bosses at the end of each stage, like the hulking Flesh Golem.


Soul Survivors will debut on Steam Early Access on May 3, 2023 and will remain so for about between 9-12 months.

Select from two playable heroes for the Early Access launch, with six total planned throughout development, and progress through two unique dark fantasy environments replete with a myriad of monsters and fearsome bosses lying in wait. March into combat as The Bogatyr, a heroic knight whose heavy armor and short-range attacks can cleave through mobs with powerful force. Or reanimate corpses as The Necromancer to create an overwhelming army fueled by the dark arts.

“We are hard at work building and expanding on Soul Survivors to create a game unlike anything that’s come before it,” said Sterling Selover. “By blending elements of time-survival games with challenging, skill-based action combat, we are confident that Soul Survivors will provide players with hours of entertainment when it comes to Steam Early Access on Wednesday, May 3, 2023!”

“The current state of the Early Access version includes most of the same mechanics we are planning for the finished game. We will have character talent trees, lots of different enemy types and bosses to fight.”

Unlock and Play as one of 6 unique classes, each with their own abilities and progression. Each character plays vastly different:

  • Bogatyr - A fierce knight hardened from countless battles.
  • Pyromancer - A nomad, living life on his sleeve. He leaves a trail of ashes everywhere he travels.
  • Necromancer - Duke of the Undead. A master summoner and seeker of Dark Arts.
  • Ranger - Her shadow casts over the forest, protecting all whom nature deem worthy
  • Fighter - A master of mind, body and spirit. He serves only the pure of heart.
  • Blood Maiden - Scarlet writes her enemies' names in blood.

Unlock and Explore 4 unique environments:

  • Linden Forest - A once green pasture now lies in ruins. The guardians of this forest haunt it from the very graves they built.
  • Usvit Castle - The shining light from the days of old. A demonic presence often heard but never seen, ushers waves of fear throughout the castle walls.
  • Usvit Depths - The old servants' quarters. Now a slime ridden passage where not even the bravest adventurers set foot.
  • Ashendusk Mountains - Rivers of lava run through these scorched lands. Denizens of fire invoke fear and incinerate ill-prepared adventurers.

Soul Survivors is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) in 2024.
