Join the Battle Between Life and Death as Achilles: Survivor Launches into 1.0 Today on Steam and Consoles

Today, you must take up your arms, heroes, for Hades and his minions must fall

TORUŃ, POLAND, July 29, 2025 — After six months of continued development in Steam Early Access, today Polish publisher Dark Point Games is proud to release Achilles: Survivor into 1.0 on Steam alongside the first-time launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Fans of the mythological action roguelite can expect the battle for Ancient Greece to come to Nintendo Switch later this year. Achilles: Survivor takes the bullet heaven genre to new heights with its building mechanic, allowing players to erect powerful structures to help fend off foes, provide healing, or summon allies to the battlefield to turn the tide of war in their favour. Throughout the Early Access journey, the team has incorporated community feedback to implement a plethora of updates, including new survivors, enemies, bosses, powers, achievements, realms, structures, and game modes, adding three difficulty levels, short mode, and endless mode, plus additional quality of life improvements, bugfixes, balancing, and more.



Achilles: Survivor will place players in the shoes of the eponymous hero or one of several other survivors as they battle Hades and his army of the underworld. Following his demise at the end of the Trojan War, Hades resurrected Achilles to serve his nefarious plans against the other gods; however, once Achilles had served his purpose, Hades cast him back into Tartarus, damning him to an eternity of torment. Refusing to accept this fate, Achilles broke free, saving the souls of many others during his escape, including several who had died by his hand. Enraged by this subversion, Hades has sworn vengeance against the hero, vowing to return him and the other survivors to the depths of the underworld.

Now, Achilles and his unlikely allies must rise up to defeat Hades and his legion as they wage war across Troy, Tartarus, and other battlefields to avoid the threatening damnation. Using a variety of weapons, abilities, spells, and offensive and defensive structures, these heroes must grow their power as they face the battle between life and death.

GAME FEATURES

Survival bullet heaven with building mechanics: Expand your arsenal with traps and fortifications.
Diverse characters: Choose from numerous heroes, each with unique combat powers.

Achilles: Survivor is out now on Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. A Nintendo Switch version is planned for Q3 this year. Players can join the Dark Point Games community Discord for support and updates.
