About this game

The castle has been swallowed by darkness, and monsters are pouring in from every direction. Fight your way through the horde and survive until the end!

A survivors-like game, now with side-scrolling action combat.

Castleborne Survivors blends roguelite progression with Metroidvania-inspired elements. Upgrade, enhance, merge, and enchant your way to greater power, until even overwhelming waves of monsters are no longer something to fear.

This is no longer a top-down survivors experience. Move, reposition, and dodge your way through the swarm — or build a weapon setup so powerful that enemies are wiped out before they can even reach you.

Gather coins in each run to buy permanent upgrades and push deeper into the castle on your next attempt.

Synthesize Your Weapons

Synthesize your weapons with passives to create even more powerful weapons!

Enchant Your Signature Weapon

Enchant your character’s signature weapon to give it even more powerful effects!

Two-Player Co-op

Supports local two-player co-op on the same screen. Online co-op is currently in development.
