The lack of auto target for like 80% of the playable characters in this game really hurts it in my opinion. To me, I have enough to worry about without having to point my character in a specific direction. I also think that some of the challenges are beyond challenging and are just annoying. Having to get 1500/1800 max health is rather ridiculous. Largely RNG based if you get health boosting upgrades. In my quest to get 1500 health I must have re-rolled a thousand times during runs before I got it. Personally I also don't enjoy that most challenges are just not feasible in quick mode. I enjoy hyper mode in vampire survivors and every other game like it. Most challenges require too much time to be done in quick mode. I do like that you can pick it at the start of the level and don't have to beat it first but again you are basically required to play the regular long game to actually get all challenges done. Hope things improve over time for this game. It's not a bad game by any means b...

About This Game
Your legend grows with every run.
Achilles: Survivor is a fast-paced, single-player bullet heaven set in Ancient Greece. Play as Achilles - or one of the legendary souls freed from Tartarus - and cut your way through endless waves of enemies. Build deadly structures, evolve your powers, and grow stronger with every run. Defeat your enemies... or die trying.
Are you ready for battle?
KEY FEATURES:
Fast-paced bullet heaven in a world of Greek myths. Survive endless waves of enemies in this top-down action roguelite.
Build to survive, not just shoot. Drop traps, healing shrines, and summon allies with a unique structure-building system that turns the tide when things get desperate.
Unlock over 15 legendary survivors. Play as Achilles or one of a growing cast of mythical heroes, each with unique power and playstyle.
Progression that respects your time. Complete challenges, earn Favors, and unlock permanent upgrades - get stronger with every attempt, even in defeat. You can pick different difficulties and game modes (normal, short and endless) in every run.
Return to mythic Greece. Explore 4 handcrafted realms inspired by Achilles: Legends Untold - from the walls of Troy to windswept Greek coastlines.
DEFEAT YOUR ENEMIES... OR DIE TRYING
Achilles has never faced monsters like this - and now it’s your turn. Dive into chaotic, action-packed runs and hold your ground against relentless waves of enemies. Pick from dozens of powers and transform them mid-run in the Forge.
The deeper you go, the tougher it gets. No two runs are the same - and surviving means adapting fast.
BUILD LIKE A STRATEGOS
Place flame turrets, raise healing shrines, or summon Myrmidons to fight at your side. Unlike other survivor-likes, your best weapon might be the map itself. Structures aren’t just defenses - they're tactical tools for crowd control, sustain, and damage that can turn the tide of battle.
But remember - your resources are limited.
Build smart, and you’ll live longer.
WIELD THE MIGHT OF LEGENDARY HEROES
Achilles made a bit of a mess escaping Tartarus. Now the world’s crawling with souls that shouldn’t be here - and you're one of them.
Unlock and master a growing roster of heroes, each with a unique playstyle and signature power. From Achilles' raw melee strength to Paris' precise shots, Pythia’s devastating magic, or Brontes’ brute force - these are just a few of the heroes you can discover in the game.
SURVIVE THE TRIALS OF THE OVERLORDS
Every region throws new horrors at you - venomous beasts, relentless ranged attackers, and bosses that won’t give you a second chance. Learn their patterns, adapt your build, and survive escalating waves until it’s time to face an Overlord.
These bosses don’t wait for you to get ready - they’ll punish weak strategies and reward smart structure placement.
GET STRONGER WITH EVERY RUN
Death isn’t failure - it’s part of your path. Complete challenges to unlock new characters, earn treasures and Favors, and improve your stats with long-term upgrades.
The further you push, the more power you bring into your next run.
EXPLORE ANCIENT GREECE
Return to the world of Achilles: Legends Untold and slay them all!
Battle across mythical realms drawn from Greek legend, such as Troy and the sun-scorched coasts of Greece. Each map features unique objectives, rewards, and mythological threats waiting to be conquered.

This game feels repetitive fast. The skills are bland and lack variety, and the objectives make no sense,like needing 700 gold in one run just to unlock the next map. It turns into a grind instead of a fun challenge.
Im Sorry for the negative review , bur this Survivor its miles away from other similar titles . Devs really should be working on an upgrade . Just to mention a few things .. 1: Weapon and skill variety is non existent . Just a 4 or 5 of them really work as they should fine the rest it is unusable and unfunny to play with . Skills do not evolve or change visually trowgh leveling , Spear atack look the same at level 1 than level 50 2 : Card level system its Dull , unfunny and unconsistent , really generic 3: Meta upgrades are very limited generic and almost unawarded 4 : Very few enemies types and bosses 5: Too few and weightless animations on enemies and characters .just look like manequins walking 6 : FX looks too much generic 7 : Sound and music is generic and forgetable 8: maps Do change but they all look the same with the same props 9: Missions . quest and all other level completion requisities are unconsisten and not fun . 10: No Dashing , running or any oth...
It's a decent bullet heaven game. But it also feels the same as so many others (with maybe a few minor twists). This makes it boring and predictable, even early on in the game. I don't believe this genre was meant for so many copycats. If you've played a couple of survivors-like games, I wouldn't spend my money on this one.
This game is lacking in a lot of areas. It feels like Early Access. The building concept is cool but the fighting is awful. It takes too much before skills do any damage. The leveling system feels unrewarding. You don't gain enough for completing stages either. It needs some more polish and adjustments to the skills.
Came here from the Iron Core: Mech Survivor comments because people were saying this game is better, but after downloading... yeah, not so much. [h1]Terrible Quality, Feels Like a Reskin[/h1] [h2]Awful Animations & Movement[/h2] The game looks realistic in the character selection screen, but that’s where it ends. No attack animations, weapons just float mid-air, and movement feels clunky with no weight. Survivor games can get away with quirks like this if they have charm — this doesn’t. It’s like a lazy reskin using borrowed assets, nowhere near what the trailer promised. [h2]Graphic Scam, Terrible Performance[/h2] Performance is awful. The default resolution is blurry, and cranking up settings tanks the FPS. It looks like a game from a decade ago at best, and the trailer was completely misleading. [h2]Weak Combat[/h2] Combat is lifeless. Hitting enemies just changes their color — no impact, no feedback, just dull. [h2]Boring Level Design[/h2] The map is flat and uninspir...
overall, the game is fun which earns recommend, but its lacking a lot of polish and doesn't have very interesting builds/abilities. tower defense mechanics are cool in theory, but meh in practice.
Just average to bad. There are others games in this category that are more inspired, more fun, with a more meaningful grind, a better (smarter) control on the randomness, a better paced gameplay, better hitboxes visibility, some unique features... At least the price is cheap...
One of the best horde survival games! I like it a lot! The most outstanding feature is probably the ability to build towers on predetermined locations with resources found on the map or even gathered in a mine which is also a building. These are built by standing in their circle for a certain duration after selecting them. There are various ones which can not only do damage but also support you with healing or spawned warrios fighting at your side. Just building also gives you a passive buff, so this is essential for success. There is even more going on on the map with portals, more mines to gather resources, chests, boss waves and more. I like the permanent progression system. I want to highlight that you can only upgrade a warrior class by using the resources you earned with this specific warrior class. I like this a lot, because then I'm not tempted to spend all in one class because it's the best strategy, which is unfortunately not the most fun to do, so I like that I'm getti...
What a wonderful game! I like Vampire Survivors, but this is even better. It's hard to believe that a game that's so enjoyable and balanced is so reasonably priced.
