About the Game

Solar Survivors distills the deep strategy and progression of an RPG into quick, arcade-like sessions.

Play as an elite pilot, deemed worthy of flying a Heaven class starship. Prove your worth to the High Priests by defending your theocracy and destroying rebel armies. Earn the honor of the gods, but stifle your pride, lest you be whipped.

Build insane strategies using legendary loot

Craft a single uber bullet that weaves between enemies, create a dark matter explosion that fills the screen, or design a weapon that fires bullets uncontrollable in random directions. Every run is different thanks to the 16 build-defining pieces of legendary loot.

Totally unnecessary world building and sci-fi lore

Learn the dark history of a galaxy rapidly conquered by the Theocracy of Eden. Serve your god-emperors as a Faithkeeper, the highest level of star pilot.
