About the Game

You are the “Skull” Survivor of the ancient soul consuming phantoms. Survive the relentless horde with your chosen familiar. How long can you keep your familiar alive? The longer you can survive the move permanent upgrades you will have access to. Each time you brave the dark realms you will have access to increasingly powerful upgrades. Could you eventually control more of those who attack you?
Skull survivor is a survivor "Bullet Heaven" style rogue like auto-shooter with a twin stick melee style twist! Move around your avatar while swinging your melee weapon around the screen at the same time. All abilities are auto shooter, and you will be able to place your melee weapon on auto pilot for the option of a true auto shooter experience!

What is a “Twin Stick Hack n’ Slash”?

Control the movement of your familiar with the movement controls (Left Stick or WASD), and control your physics-based weapon with the slashing controls (Right Stick or Mouse Position)!

Right Stick to Slash!


Mouse to Slash!

Slash through tons of enemies yourself

They just keep coming but fear not, their souls are yours for the taking. The souls fund your countless upgrades!

Take Down Epic Bosses

Survive long enough to get to the bosses for an other-worldly encounter!

Can you become a soul glutton!?

Use the souls to upgrade both your weapon and your familiar, to strategically improve your build. Focus on auto-shooter style upgrades or choose to improve your weapon for heavy hits and physics-based action. If you do not want to focus you can always create a highly effective hybrid build in the process.
