Leaving Early Access: Q2 2027

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Survivors of Mayhem is made by one developer, but player feedback helps shape where it goes. Early Access gives me the chance to see what builds you discover, what keeps you coming back, and what needs more work.

I want to use that feedback to refine the combat, improve balance, and expand the game while keeping the build variety and chaotic action at its heart. Your experiences and suggestions help me make better decisions as development continues.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I’m currently targeting a full 1.0 release in Q2 2027. That gives me time to expand the game, refine balance, and improve the overall experience with community feedback. This timeframe may change as development progresses, and I’ll keep players updated along the way.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Early Access has helped Survivors of Mayhem grow well beyond its initial release. Here’s what’s already been added and what I’d still like to explore.

Already added during Early Access
  • Endless Wave mode.
  • More than doubled the abilities since EA launched
  • Two additional classes: Cleric and Rogue.
  • More signature ability evolutions.
  • Scripted enemy waves with group spawns, surrounding formations, and coordinated attacks from multiple directions.

Plans for continued development toward 1.0
  • Additional levels: The game launched with three levels. I’d like to expand that to at least five total.
  • More items to discover and build around, possibly an item revamp.
  • I'd like to explore advanced class specialization abilities that give each subclass more differences.
  • More abilities and new combinations to experiment with.
  • Full controller support.
  • Continued balance, performance, and interface improvements.

These are my current development goals. Scope and priorities may change as development continues and community feedback helps shape the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Survivors of Mayhem is fully playable, with three levels, five base classes, and four advanced subclasses for each, 20 advanced classes to explore. Shape your build with more than 100 items of varying rarities, dozens of stat echoes, and over 50 abilities, plus signature ability evolutions.

The current version also includes Endless Wave mode, leaderboards, class mastery progression, dynamic world events, and scripted enemy wave formations. Development continues with new content, balance updates, fixes, and improvements shaped by player feedback.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of the game might increase a few dollars after we launch the full version, but probably not.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are continuously sharing content and feedback with players in our Discord server (https://discord.gg/DR69Pkc59Z). We will also be sharing relevant information and taking part in discussions on the Steam forums.”

About This Game

Build your own brand of mayhem.

Survivors of Mayhem is a fantasy bullet heaven that combines wave survival with classic RPG classes, abilities, and loot. Cut through enemies with spinning blades, rain down fire and lightning, lay explosive traps, or summon allies to fight beside you. Mix abilities, items, and upgrades to turn your survivor into a force of destruction.

Find your class. Shape your build.

Choose from five classes: Warrior, Archer, Mage, Rogue, and Cleric, each with four subclasses. Explore different playstyles, evolve signature abilities, and discover combinations that make your next run feel different from the last.

Build around critical hits, powerful spells, damage over time, summons, or a mix of everything. Choose upgrades as you level, spend your gold between waves, and decide when to strengthen your build or reroll for something better.

Keep growing between runs.

Unlock subclasses through achievements, develop your class mastery, and invest in permanent upgrades. Experiment with a new build, take on higher difficulties, or push your limits in Endless mode.

Features

  • 5 classes and 20 subclasses with different strengths and playstyles.

  • 43 abilities, including melee weapons, archery, elemental magic, poison, traps, and summons.

  • 15 signature ability evolutions that change how your class weapons fight.

  • 100+ items across multiple rarities, with stats and effects to shape your build.

  • Between-wave shops and rerolls to spend your gold and refine your build.

  • Boons with benefits and tradeoffs to change your approach to a run.

  • Dynamic world events and interactable rewards that give you more reasons to explore the battlefield.

  • Class mastery rewards, including new abilities to expand your build options.

  • Achievement unlocks and permanent progression to keep growing between runs.

  • Automatic or manual aiming to suit your playstyle.

  • Multiple difficulty settings to challenge your builds.

  • Endless mode to push your limits.

  • Global leaderboards to compete for your next personal best.

  • Controller support.

Made by a solo developer!

I'm making Survivors of Mayhem because I love survivor games and the build variety of classic RPGs. This is my take on bringing them together: familiar fantasy weapons and spells, plenty of loot, and room to experiment.

Early Access continues to grow through new content, improvements, and player feedback. Thanks for playing and helping shape the mayhem!
