What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I'm a solo developer doing everything myself and I want to develop Survivors of Mayhem with the community in mind to be the best game I can deliver. Being in contact with our players during our early access development is key to make the best game possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I hope to complete the development of the game in 2026, it may go longer based on feedback and input from the community. I definitely want to make the best game possible.”

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

“I plan to add the following features:

  • Evolving Dungeon cards: Dungeon evolution cards can change the dungeon as you play for a fun unique playthrough each time allowing for new routes to new rooms and areas to open.
  • Three total levels for the EA launch version, plans on adding at least two more (Glacial Expanse and Burning Depths) with their own unique enemies.
  • Addition of dungeon traps for harder difficulties
  • Endless Wave mode *FINISHED*
  • Lots more items
  • More Classes! (Cleric, Rogue) *FINISHED*
  • Advanced Class Specialization Abilities (more than just stats)
  • Another 20+ abilities
  • Full controller support
  • More signature ability evolutions *FINISHED*
  • Level Challenges/Masteries
  • More Card options: Banish, purchase all, etc

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access is a full playable version, with 3 levels to explore, 3 characters and 4 sub classes for each, and more than 100 items of varying rarities, dozens of stat echoes of all rarities and 26+ abilities.”

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

“The price of the game may increase a few dollars after we launch the full version.”

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!
