Swarms of enemies, bullets coming from all directions and certain death await in these roguelike survivor games. The good news? The longer you keep fighting, the better gear and skills you’ll score to help you actually make it out alive. The battle never ends, but here’s how you can get started.

Vampire Survivors’ pixelated, retro graphics and easy-to-grasp gameplay say casual game, but its weapons upgrade paths, anything-can-happen levels and character diversity make for hours of fun.

Game creator Habby pours its skill-tree-design expertise into this title, giving you amazing ways to build up power, upgrade weapons and create gear combos to take on the increasingly difficult challenges ahead.

Set in ODIN: Valhalla Rising’s Norse-inspired world, Valhalla Survival pulls together exquisite 3D visuals, rapid character advancement and a diverse cast of warrior, rogue and mage heroes, each with its own equipment and skills. Survive till the end, or just have fun trying out the endless combinations.
