Our take on Malignant Survivors
The bounce point arrives when build variety becomes the main progression system. Players who do not want to sort through 800+ item definitions and 30+ random modifiers may find the loot-driven hero development difficult to engage with, even though individual sessions are short.
What is Malignant Survivors?
Fight large groups of malignants in a 3D rogue-like action game set in a dark fantasy world.

Progression is structured around quick gameplay sessions rather than requiring long play periods, while the vendor states more than 50 hours of progression through loot acquisition.
