Press release:
El Dorado Hills, CA. – April 10, 2023.
The El Dorado Hills-based (CA, the US) indie games publisher and developer Stingbot Games today announced with great excitement and delight that their dark-fantasy time-survival roguelite “Soul Survivors” is coming to PC via Steam Early Access on May 3rd, 2023.

Cut through thousands of foes in a skill-based, time survival game blending roguelike runs with challenging combat and meta-game progression. Select from two playable heroes for the Early Access launch, with six total planned throughout development, and progress through two unique dark fantasy environments replete with a myriad of monsters and fearsome bosses lying in wait.

March into combat as The Bogatyr, a heroic knight whose heavy armor and short-range attacks can cleave through mobs with powerful force. Or reanimate corpses as The Necromancer to create an overwhelming army fueled by the dark arts.

Earn experience by defeating enemies to unlock powerful abilities that dramatically alter each character’s skillset. Improve auto attacks to add devastating effects like the overhead Butcher’s Blade and spend hard-earned gold to unlock permanent talent upgrades, such as the Necromancer’s Soul Reaver, which grants pets the ability to collect souls. Master an array of character builds due to each class’ diverse playstyle and create the ultimate killing machine.

Explore dangerous locales like the haunted Linden Forest, a ruined pasture filled with restless spirits and corrupted flora, as enemies race to cut heroes down. Encounter rare area-specific enemies with stage-changing rewards and scour environments for Sacrifice Altars where brave warriors can trade health for ability upgrades.

Survive long enough in each stage to challenge area bosses like the hulking Flesh Golem and Chancellor Autlaic, a massive skeleton lurking deep underneath a fallen castle. Each stage is endless, and if a player manages to defeat all bosses, they will enter Cursed Mode, which begins the ultimate challenge of survival.

Soul Survivors combines the breakneck pace of time-survival games with the skill-based systems of hardcore action RPGs and Souls-likes to create a rewarding and engaging experience designed around highly replayable sessions.

“We are hard at work building and expanding on Soul Survivors to create a game unlike anything that’s come before it,” said Sterling Selover.

“By blending elements of time-survival games with challenging, skill-based action combat, we are confident that Soul Survivors will provide players with hours of entertainment when it comes to Steam Early Access on Wednesday, May 3, 2023!”

Soul Survivors will launch on Windows PC via Steam Early Access for $3.99 USD with English-language support. For more information, visit the official website, follow Stingbot Games on Twitter, and wishlist Soul Survivors today.
