Our take on Murim Survival
The short expedition format keeps the focus on repeated combat runs, but limits each session's room for slower exploration or extended narrative development. Progression between runs adds persistence while the timed structure remains central to play.
What is Murim Survival?
Murim Survival is a survival roguelite RPG built around 15–20 minute expeditions against continuous enemy waves.
Players explore a ruined martial-arts world, collect equipment, learn active and passive martial arts, and combine Traits to create different builds. Defeat leads into further progression through equipment, martial-arts Mastery, NPC interactions, quests, and recruitable companions. More than 60 equipment types can be obtained permanently. Each expedition ends with a final confrontation against enemies, while bosses use distinct mechanics and attack patterns. The story follows Sowoon, who seeks a cure for the Madness consuming him. After clearing Normal difficulty, Ascension difficulty becomes available.
