Our take on Nomad Survival
Instead of requiring manual attack inputs, this roguelite centers on movement and automatically used abilities. Timed waves and level-up choices replace a more direct combat rhythm with repeated runs built around changing character setups.
What is Nomad Survival?
Nomad Survival is a time-based roguelite where the player controls character movement while abilities attack automatically.
Enemy waves arrive from all directions, with enemy types and behavior changing by minute. Experience gained during a run allows new abilities or upgrades to existing ones. Non-passive abilities can reach level 10 and gain extra effects at levels 5 and 10. Each character has an exclusive weapon skill with branching evolution paths, while heritage choices further change the run.
The game includes 4 maps, each with unique events and 4 boss encounters, along with 2 challenges per map. Its listed content includes 3 characters and 6 unlockable characters, 17 active abilities, 19 passive abilities, 1 heritage and 8 unlockable heritages, 5 pets with skill trees, more than 100 achievements, and over 20 upgradeable stats. Game speed is modifiable.
