Warhammer Survivors is out now, and if you pay for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass it's included at no extra cost from launch day.
Developed by Auroch Digital, the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, in partnership with Games Workshop and Vampire Survivors creator poncle, it landed on November 10 on PC, Xbox Series X|S and PS5, and both Push Square and Pocket Tactics list Switch versions too. If you're not on Game Pass, it's £6.39 on Steam, or £5.75 with the 10% launch discount that was running when we checked this morning.
Grimdark, but make it bite-sized
If you've played Vampire Survivors you'll know the drill, as you wander around a map while your weapons fire automatically, hoovering up experience gems and stacking upgrades until the screen is more explosions than floor. The twist here is that the hordes, and your heroes, come from Warhammer, with more than 40 champions to unlock across Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar, according to the Steam page.
Xbox Wire has already published a survival guide for one of the Age of Sigmar factions, the Gloomspite Gitz, which covers everything from bouncing Squig Hoppers to regenerating Rockgut Troggoths (Xbox Wire suggests poisoned daggers for those), and a boss called Trugg the Troggoth King who throws out burning, poisoning and bleeding projectiles. It's PEGI 7, so the violence is of the pixel-art variety (with plenty of very angry mushrooms).
So, is it any good?
The early reviews are mostly glowing, with Push Square giving it 9/10 and calling it two games in one, praising the addictive progression, the soundtrack and how much it leans into the tabletop hobby, while warning that it takes a little longer than Vampire Survivors to reach full chaos.
Pocket Tactics gave it 8/10 on Steam Deck, saying the boss fights feel more dramatic than Vampire Survivors' but grumbling about boss fights that need specific weapon evolutions and a few grindy objectives, while TheGamer went for 3.5 out of 5, saying the squad mechanic is fiddly and the early game leans heavily on Vampire Survivors, but that it becomes a moreish sandbox once it gets going.
| Outlet | Score |
| Push Square (PS5) | 9/10 |
| Pocket Tactics (Steam Deck) | 8/10 |
| TheGamer | 3.5/5 |
If you enjoyed Auroch Digital's last trip into the 41st millennium, our Warhammer 40K: Boltgun review is still worth a look while you decide which champion to unlock first.
Well, in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only one more run before bed.
