Our take on Elemental Survivors
Rather than centering combat on individually aimed attacks, the game makes movement and evasion the active task while attacks trigger automatically. Its RPG structure is also folded into repeated survival runs, with towns, shops, party members, and lasting upgrades appearing around wave-based battles.
What is Elemental Survivors?
Elemental Survivors combines auto-attacking combat with RPG progression and roguelite runs.
Move around enemy-filled areas, avoid incoming attacks, collect experience, and let equipped attacks strike automatically. Towns and shops appear at milestones, offering equipment and additional party members with their own attacks and upgrades. Each run contains successive monster waves and ends when the area boss appears at the 20-minute mark. Defeat earns gems for unlocking areas, characters, permanent upgrades, and summons. Areas are randomly generated, while attacks can evolve through elemental combinations. The game is planned for Early Access with updates based on community feedback.
