What is Warhammer Survivors?

If you've played Vampire Survivors, you already know the idea: you move your hero around while their weapons fire automatically, waves of enemies get bigger and bigger, and you pick upgrades as you level up to build a ridiculous, screen-filling arsenal. Each run lasts a few minutes, which makes it perfect for short sessions on a phone or Switch.

Warhammer Survivors brings that formula to both Warhammer universes, Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar, with characters and enemies from each. Reports say there are more than 40 champions to unlock. It's made by Auroch Digital, the studio behind the retro shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, so it's in experienced Warhammer hands.

More Survivors-style games this month

November is a busy month for the genre: Vampire Crawlers, a spin-off from the original Vampire Survivors team, lands on Game Pass on November 4, six days before Warhammer Survivors. If you like one, you'll probably like the other.
