Wolpertinger Games and indie label Wandering Wizard are kicking things into high gear with a brand-new free demo for their upcoming tactical roguelite Survivor Mercs, now live on Steam. The full version of the game is locked and loaded for release this summer on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, with more horde-survival action than ever.
This isn’t your typical auto-shooter. Survivor Mercs puts players in command of a clone commander and a growing squad of mercenaries, taking on procedurally generated maps teeming with deadly robots controlled by the ruthless M.E.G.A. Corp. You’ll dash, shoot, and loot your way through bullet hell chaos—all while the clock works against you.
New demo now available
The new free demo offers a solid slice of what to expect at launch. You’ll get access to a hand-picked selection of mercs, equipment, Bunker upgrades, and traits. It’s a great way to get a feel for the twin-stick gameplay, rogue mechanics, and strategic squad-building that define Survivor Mercs.
Expect active combat with full twin-stick control, dash dodging, and hands-on mayhem. If you’re looking for a deeper roguelite experience with tactical decisions and high replay value, this is one to check out.
