About the Game

PAY TO SLAY

HOW MANY ROUNDS CAN YOU SURVIVE?

Pay To Slay is a top-down action roguelite where every run pits you against increasingly dangerous hordes. Earn points by slaughtering enemies, unlock new areas, take a chance on the mystery box, and build a loadout capable of wiping entire waves off the screen.

Every round pushes you closer to your limit.

Every choice can change your run.

Every death is a chance to come back stronger.

No two runs are ever the same.

  • Discover new strategies with every attempt.

THE VANGUARD PROJECT

In the early 1980s, humanity turned to automation as its last hope for survival.

Combat humanoids.

CRT terminals.

Disposable Operators.

Then the infection began.

What started as a desperate attempt to save the world became something far worse.

Each run reveals new fragments of the truth.

And the deeper you go, the more you'll realize the enemy was never only outside.

“The unit has been destroyed.”

“Assigning new combat shell...”

Welcome back, Operator.
