Blending Path of Exile with Vampire Survivors, mythological ARPG hits 1.0

The lure of mythology has long been popular amongst game devs, and ARPG Achilles Survivor is the latest to take on the rich world of Greek folklore. Blending Path of Exile's action and the fast-paced bullet heaven style of the popular Vampire Survivors, with a dash of strategic structure building for good measure, this ARPG is grounded in the world of Ancient Greece; wield the mighty blades of legendary heroes against Hades, and beat back his leagues of minions to emerge triumphant. And if that isn't enough to intrigue you, it's finally reached a big milestone: 1.0.

After a successful short period in early access and 'very positive' reviews on Steam, Achilles Survivor has now launched into 1.0, and you can now dive headfirst into this mythological battlefield - and cut through as many ancient Greek enemies as your heart desires.

Like all the best roguelikes, death is only the beginning in Achilles Survivor. With every failed run through these epic battlefields, there are plenty of weapons, upgrades, and abilities to be earned to help you power up and grow the strength of Achilles and his motley crew of heroic allies. It's a stellar cast of legendary characters joining the hero in his battle against Hades; from Paris' sharp-shooting to the mighty strength of the Cyclops.

In Achilles Survivor, Achilles has broken free from the depths of Tartarus to challenge Hades and his minions and win back his freedom from the god who damned him. In true roguelike ARPG fashion, you'll need to wage war against endless waves of enemies across Tartarus, Troy, and other battlefields to defeat the god once and for all.

Thankfully, you and your army don't have to do it alone. What sets Achilles Survivor apart from games like Vampire Survivors is that you can also build powerful structures that provide all kinds of back-up. Everything from flame turrets, to healing shrines, or even structures that can summon powerful allies to help you turn the tide in your favor. As someone who usually prefers to go in guns blazing, it's an intriguing twist.

Achilles Survivor 1.0 is out now on Steam for $5.59 / £5.59, thanks to an introductory 20% discount. You can check out the Steam page here.
