Let loose as the Legend of Catachan and Lyssa Ravenya
Warhammer Survivors, Auroch Digital's take on injecting the bullet heaven popularised by Vampire Survivors with characters you can buy little figures of, finally has a release date. It's out next month, and has a new demo to fill the gap between now and then.
November 10th's the date to circle in your calendar as outlined by the trailer above. It'll cost £6.39 / $7.99 / €7.49 or equivalent, the devs revealed in a Steam post, adding that there'll be "a 10% discount on Steam from the first week when the game launches".
Auroch have swapped the old demo for a new one, which you can grab from the game's Steam page. It offers the chance to try out two new champions, the Legend of Catachan and Lyssa Ravenya, with fresh weapons, abilities, and improvements inspired by feedback on the lasat demo also chucked in.
The full game promises over 40 warhammerers to take the reins of and add to your squad as you fight the screen-filling hordes that define these sorts of 'shoot and stab in many directions until things calm down' games.
"I've only played an hour of the Warhammer Survivors demo so far," our Julian wrote after giving the previous one a go ahead of chatting to lead designer John O'Donnell. "But it already feels like an adoring tribute to both Vampire Survivors and Warhammer. The pixel art is detailed and grungy, the power build in each run is a challenge to keep pace with, and the squad mechanic at its heart does bring something meaningfully new to the genre. It's not a drastic change, but it's something I feel could make a tactical difference if I can master it."
If, on the other hand, you've not dipped your toes into any bullet heaven yet, here's our Vampire Survivors review.
