Warhammer Survivors: build a squad against the swarm

Pick a champion, build a loadout

Choose a character with its own starting weapon and stats, fight through enemy waves, and combine weapons with power-ups to unlock stronger forms. Between attempts, collected gold buys upgrades; paint pots unlock character variants and secrets. The advertised full game includes more than 40 characters and over 75 weapons, not the contents of the smaller demo.

A weapon can bring a teammate

Characters and weapons have keywords. If your champion cannot wield a weapon you acquire, an eligible follower joins to use it instead. In its October 21 explanation, Auroch Digital says followers neither take damage nor collect items. Weapon choice can therefore shape a small squad as well as add an attack. If you enjoy experimenting with combinations and watching a modest loadout grow into a screen-filling assault, this is a reason to try the demo.

Start with the demo

Checked November 1, 2026: the Steam demo is available, and the full game remains planned for November 10. Use the Steam link to open the store page and select the demo download. Steam lists Windows and English/Simplified Chinese interfaces. Auroch Digital warns that progress from the previous demo does not transfer to this demo, and demo progress will not transfer to the full game.

English demo wiki

The English demo wiki covers character starts, eleven weapon evolution pairs, forty-eight unlock goals and squad mechanics. Demo file facts and video observations are kept separate, with unresolved level and compatibility rules identified in the guides.
