Cast Out Colony has been described by its players as a blend of Animal Crossing, Cult of the Lamb, and Vampire Survivors. It fuses roguelite gameplay, bullet-heaven action, and intricate town-building components to craft an entirely distinctive experience, redefining the survival genre. The meta-progression is located within the colony itself. The larger you grow your colony, the higher your character's stats become.

Choose from a variety of OVER 50 active and passive skills as you level up and fight your way through the never-ending hordes of beasties and baddies.

Build your own colony and increase its inhabitants, some of which will help you in your survival! Growing your colony provides bonuses, both permanent and temporary, meaning the stronger you build your colony, the stronger your character can become.
