About the Game

In Big Band Survivors, you play as a musician battling hordes of strange monsters in 4 different arenas, designed by the alien orchestrators as a gladiatorial spectator sport.

Everything adapts dynamically to the music, changing depending on choices you make in game. In true roguelite fashion, each run is unique mechanically, but also unique in its soundscape!

  • Fight the aliens, collect XP, level up your character. Doing so will let you upgrade or pick new instruments, improving your odds and attacks, but also affecting the music being played.

  • Keep an eye out for care packages sent by adoring fans as they can give you just what you need in a given moment, but be careful to stay clear of their landing zone.

  • Defeat one of the game's 10+ bosses to be rewarded with a relic, granting strong and often synergistic new abilities to your character.

After each run, win or lose:

  • Get rewarded with roses

  • Spend them between runs on powerful upgrades to help you survive longer

  • Get closer to earning 47 in-game achievements with exciting rewards!
