Warhammer Survivors on PC. Click to open it full size.
Warhammer Survivors is a bullet-heaven action game for PC from Auroch Digital, available on Steam and GOG. You pick a champion and survive endless waves of enemies. Your weapons fire on their own, so your job is to move, collect upgrades and stay alive.
It mixes two Warhammer worlds in one game. You can play as over 40 champions from both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Each one starts with their own weapon and stats, so no two runs feel the same.
It came out on November 10, 2026, made in partnership with poncle, the studio behind Vampire Survivors. It runs on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11, supports controllers, and is also on PC Game Pass.

What Is Warhammer Survivors?
Warhammer Survivors is a survivors-style game, also called bullet heaven: the screen fills with hundreds of enemies, and you fill it right back with bullets, blades and magic. You only steer your champion. Every weapon fires on its own, so the skill is in where you move and which upgrades you pick.
Each run starts small. Enemies drop experience, and every level-up offers a choice of new weapons or power-ups, so a lone champion turns into a screen-clearing build. Pair the right weapon with the right power-up and it evolves into a much stronger form.
A Tyranid swarm closes in on a tank and its Imperial Guard escort.
The Warhammer part goes deeper than skins. Every stage has its own enemy faction, such as Tyranids, Orks, Skaven or the Gloomspite Gitz goblins, and each faction has traits taken from the tabletop game. Survive long enough and huge bosses show up, like the Ork warlord Ghazghkull Thraka.
Champions and weapons carry keywords. If you pick up a weapon your champion cannot use, a follower joins you and fires it for you. Followers cannot take damage, so a run often ends with a small squad around you. Between runs, the gold you collect makes your champions stronger, and paint pots found on the map unlock new character forms.
One stage is set on a hobby painting mat, a nod to the tabletop side of Warhammer.

Our Take
🎮 Our Take
Warhammer Survivors does not try to reinvent the survivors formula, and that is mostly a good thing. With poncle involved, the core loop of moving, leveling and stacking weapons until the screen melts works the way it should. What Auroch Digital adds is the Warhammer flavor, and it is more than a reskin: the follower squads, faction traits and the sheer number of characters give it its own feel, and the pixel art and in-jokes clearly come from people who know the hobby. The honest catch is that it is still a survivors game. If you have played dozens of them, the moment-to-moment play will feel familiar, and there is no co-op to share it with friends.
If you like Warhammer, survivors games, or both, buy it: at $7.99 it is an easy call, and it is already in PC Game Pass if you subscribe. If you have never tried the genre, this is a good first one, since it explains itself in a minute. If you are tired of survivors games or only want co-op, skip it.
System Requirements
Warhammer Survivors is a light game. The minimum spec is a dual-core processor, 4 GB of RAM and a GeForce GTX 750, so most PCs and laptops from the last ten years can run it. The developer has not published a recommended spec.
Late in a run, hundreds of enemies and effects share the screen, so a faster processor keeps the frame rate steady when it gets busy. Thinking of a new gaming PC? See our Best Gaming Desktops guide.
Tips for Beginners
Keep moving
Standing still is how runs end. Circle around the horde and pull it into a line, so your weapons hit the enemies chasing you.
Plan for evolutions
Weapons evolve when paired with the right power-up. Once you know a combo, pick both parts whenever they show up.
Use followers on purpose
A weapon your champion cannot use brings a follower who cannot be hurt. Picking those weapons is an easy way to add damage.
Save pickups for emergencies
Items near the light sources on each map can clear a crowd or heal you. Leave them until you are surrounded.
Spend gold between runs
A failed run still pays out gold. Put it into upgrades, then go back stronger, and grab every paint pot you see to unlock new forms.
