Evaluation

Fantasy Survivors launched on May 1, 2024 and has received a remarkable volume of ongoing development. The news scan shows 13 major content updates across the game's life, supplemented by 28 feature patches and 10 bug fixes — a prolific and consistent output from developer ButtonSoft. Recent major content highlights include: a new map (Beneath The Tides) with three new playable characters on August 24, 2025; Survivor Level 6 with new weapons and systems on December 5, 2025; the Dragonium Tales DLC (new outfits for all characters plus three new maps forming a trilogy) released on June 26, 2026; a new map and playable character (Magma Chambers) on August 7, 2026; an increase to 6-player multiplayer plus a Training Grounds map on September 7, 2026; and two new armor sets on September 19, 2026. The cadence between major updates has been roughly 4–8 weeks throughout 2026, and the most recent developer post is dated September 19, 2026 — just 12 days before today's date. The developer has not made any statement suggesting development is winding down or complete. Development is clearly ongoing and active.

About this game

A bullet heaven for 1 to 6 players, where you must find the exit while mowing down thousands of enemies, leveling up and selecting gear from your loadout.

  • Entering a dungeon, your mission is to explore, find new equipment, unlock more characters and escape using one of the exits.

  • After each run, you can spend the loot to purchase or upgrade equipment, pay artisans to craft, or hire adventurers for the next run.

  • Tweak your loadouts, upgrade your characters and choose new pets and adventurers to follow you into the next dungeon.

  • Play solo or co-op (1 - 6 players).

  • Unlock more weapons, armor and artifacts.

  • Unlock more characters, some by defeating a boss that turns into a character.

  • Fight mini bosses for exit keys and rare materials.

  • Find harvestable, buried and hidden materials for crafting new equipment.

  • Find secret exits that unlock more maps.

  • Every character unlocks its main weapon via damage, allowing other characters to use it.

  • Escape alive to earn bonus gold.

  • Prioritize which weapon stat to level first. Sometimes range comes before damage.

  • Your options switch to gold, food, or the ability to drop an item once you've leveled all of your equipment.

  • Chests contain extra unlocks, so keep a look out for them on the mini map.

  • Armor comes in sets with matching artifacts.

  • Find the exit key in chests or from mini bosses.

  • Find your secondary weapon in a gold chest, then unlock it for all characters via damage.

  • Unlock map-specific weapons, making them available in your loadouts.

  • Weapon status effects can harmonize or cancel out, so select carefully.

We've rolled out over 230 updates, adding features that include:

  • Seasonal events that give special consumables, pets and clothing accessories.

  • Loot monster eggs and hatch pets from them.

  • Enhance weapon damage using 6 types of crystal marbles.

  • Mine crystals and use gem cutting to produce extra marbles.

  • Use followers and adventurers to harvest and fight for you.

  • Use loadouts to select the exact equipment you'll need during play.

  • Quickly test your loadouts in a small arena, then tweak them for increased damage.

  • Use artisans to craft potions, weapons, artifacts and more playable characters.

  • Take missions to rescue artisans or followers, sometimes defending the portal from waves of enemies.

  • We continue to release updates on a regular basis.
