About Achilles: Survivor

Achilles: Survivor poster

Achilles: Survivor is a fast-paced, single-player bullet heaven set amid the myths of Ancient Greece, where your legend grows with every run. You take up the fight as Achilles or one of the legendary souls freed from Tartarus, carving through endless waves of enemies while building deadly structures, evolving your powers, and emerging stronger from each attempt. The framing is blunt and rousing: defeat your enemies, or die trying.

The twist that sets it apart is a structure-building system layered onto the top-down roguelite action. Instead of only shooting, you drop traps, plant healing shrines, and summon allies, tools that can flip a losing run when the horde threatens to overwhelm you. Progression is designed to respect your time, letting you complete challenges, earn Favors, and unlock permanent upgrades so you grow more powerful even in defeat, across difficulties and modes that include normal, short, and endless runs.

There's plenty to unlock, with over 15 legendary survivors, each bringing unique powers and playstyles, and four handcrafted realms inspired by Achilles: Legends Untold, spanning the walls of Troy to windswept Greek coastlines. As an action-adventure PC game, Achilles: Survivor delivers chaotic, replayable battles rooted in Greek mythology.
