Home / Warhammer Survivors Guide
Warhammer Survivors is the Warhammer take on the survivors-like formula: hordes, auto-firing weapons, and run-long builds, set across Warhammer’s settings. This hub links the pages we complete at launch — a beginner guide, the character list, weapon evolutions, and a tier list.

Announced stages and demo availability
Auroch Digital’s original demo announcement named Imperial Bastion and The Great Parch. Other revealed stages include Ork Stronghold, Hammerhal, Gallowdark and the Hobby Table. A revealed map is not automatically playable in the current demo; Hobby Table access has not been verified here. See the stage guide for the distinction.
What the press says
- PC Gamer (10 hours with the demo): praised heroes, themed maps, recruitable followers and boss fights; flagged intense early difficulty. Steam Deck performance reported good.
- IGN: called it a celebration of both settings rather than a straight clone; criticised slow repeat openings and unclear evolution requirements.
- G2A News: praised progression, pixel art and companion-summoning weapons; found character-rescue objectives frustrating.
What the demo has
The October demo features Malum Caedo, Trooper Kozlowski and the Legend of Catachan in Warhammer 40,000; Neave Blacktalon, Ulgromthier and Lyssa Revenya in Age of Sigmar. Catachan and Lyssa are the two newly introduced champions. Some characters need in-game unlocks. See the demo guide and Auroch Digital’s October 19 roster update.
Named characters so far
