As developer Dark Point Games continues shaping Achilles: Survivor for its upcoming launch on PC and consoles this summer, today, the team behind the game is releasing a new overview gameplay trailer, narrated by the people crafting this legendary battle. This developer-led trailer highlights combat strategies, character progression, and what players can expect from the full experience— evolved and refined through months of Early Access and community feedback.
In classic bullet heaven fashion, Achilles: Survivor pits you against relentless waves of enemies— but with a twist. The game introduces a unique building mechanic that lets players deploy defensive towers, healing shrines, and deadly traps to gain the upper hand in battle. Choose from a legendary, and sometimes unexpected, lineup of heroes, from the mighty Achilles to a boulder-hurling cyclops or even a fierce rooster god with divine powers. Each character offers a distinct playstyle, encouraging players to experiment with different strategies. Fend off the forces of the underworld across myth-inspired battlefields, including Troy and Tartarus, and level up during each run to transform your hero into an unstoppable force of destruction. Between battles, upgrade your team’s stats and abilities to stand a better chance against Hades’ increasingly ruthless minions and monstrous bosses.
The story picks up after the Trojan War, when Hades resurrects Achilles to fight in his war against the gods. Once his use ran out, Hades betrayed him— casting the legendary warrior into Tartarus for an eternity of torment. But Achilles refuses to be a pawn any longer. He escapes the underworld and begins freeing the very souls he once condemned. Furious, Hades sends his dark legions to hunt down Achilles and the spirits he’s rescued. Take up arms as Achilles— or one of the freed warriors now fighting by his side— and prepare to wage war beyond the veil of death in a final stand against the god of the underworld.
