Survivors - it's time to burn it all down.
The battlefield just got a lot more dangerous (and a lot more fun).
Update 0.5 is one of our biggest yet: a mythic new Survivor, long-awaited feature, devastating new powers, divine structures, and more ways than ever to leave your enemies in ruins.
It’s a big one - so grab yourself a cup of tea, and let’s descend into the chaos together.
🏆 At Last: Steam Achievements are here!
You asked for it. We delivered.
Achievements are now fully integrated with Steam - and if you've already unlocked any, they'll automatically sync the next time you launch the game.
New ones are already waiting for you - can you catch them all?
🔥 1 New Character: Burn Them All
The noble son of Iapetus outwitted him and stole the far-seen gleam of unwearying fire — Hesiod, Theogony
He stole fire from Olympus. Now he’s fighting for you.
Prometheus is a high-risk, high-reward Survivor with low health and rapid regeneration. He burns enemies with every hit using his unique Power: Fire Breath.
⚔️ 2 New Powers: Flame and Fury
Fire Breath
Exhale pure destruction. Prometheus’s signature move scorches the battlefield (and your enemies) with a cone of flame.
Souls of Tartarus
Summon the damned. Cursed spirits rise from the underworld, latching onto enemies and tearing them apart with dark energy.
🏛️ 3 New Structures: Wrath, Engineered
Monument of Thunder
A divine turret that channels Zeus himself. It strikes enemies near you, no matter where it’s built.
Dart Thrower
A circle of death. This construct fires high-speed darts in all directions, piercing through enemies like butter.
Spike Trap
Stop enemies dead in their tracks. Lay brutal spike traps - enemies who step on it get a face full of Olympus-grade steel.

🛠️ 6 Various Fixes
