About the Game

Battle of Decay: Survival is a casual, arcade‑leaning top‑down wave survival set during the outbreak. Play solo or 1-4 player co‑op, unlock sections, gear up, and hold the line against the infected.

Wave onslaught with optional head‑locking auto‑aim laser

Why BoD:S?

Snappy top‑down gunplay, clear progression through sections, perks, and upgradeable weapons - all at an arcade pace.

Use defensive objects and turrets to hold the position as long as you can

Modes

  • Story (Co‑op): Fight through a hospital, underground areas, and the city. Unlock new sections, find codes, and survive the waves.

  • Endless Survival (Co‑op or Bots): Arena‑style maps with purchasable sections, mystery/merch boxes, escalating waves, placeable defenses, upgrades, and leaderboards.

  • Mods/Workshop: Early Steam Workshop support for community maps.

Open doors, find code notes, and complete quick wiring/code minigames to expand the map

Key Features

  • Infected Variants: Regulars, sprinters, tanks, plus huggers (grabs) and spitters (vision block) with quick counter prompts - with mini‑boss encounters off‑wave.

  • Sections & Economy: Earn points from kills and repairs to buy ammo, open doors, unlock areas, and roll mystery/merch boxes. Gain XP to unlock more guns and features.

  • Upgradeable Weapons & Perks: Power up damage, mag size, fire rate, and more; pick perks like more health, faster reloads, or an extra weapon slot.

  • Loadout, Gear & Placeables: Bring a primary weapon and equipment (grenades, molotov, stun, decoys). Fortify with mobile barricades, auto‑turrets, ammo boxes, and med kits.

  • Vests & Teamplay: Vests boost survivability and team utility (e.g., faster revives).

  • Style & Competition: Leaderboards and a cosmetics shop (skins, laser colors, light‑up shoes, ammo/effect colors).

Upgrade weapons and pick perks to fit your playstyle
