About this 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.

Greetings star pilots! It's been a long journey, but we're finally here. Release Highlights Asteroid Launcher This new weapon fires a massive, physical projectile that deals crash damage. Master this weapon to unlock a legendary capable of adding crash damage to any weapon (and yes, bullets trigger Explosive Armor).

Don't go too deep into virus upgrades until your healing can keep up. Shields Shields completely block damage, and grant bonuses while you remain untouched.

Watch out for invincible rebel ships, raised from the dead by a Spectromancer. Kill the source, and they all die. Fashion Deck out your ship in ultra-rare fashion equipment, as well many new ship bodies and engine trails. Fashion equipment is only available to players who complete the toughest challenges. Challenges Master the game by completing a new series of challenges, on both stages and loadouts. The harder ones are linked directly to Steam achievements. Can you beat the Stage 1 boss in 7 seconds? Probably not.
