Monster Survivors
2D Roguelike Auto-Attack Survival — 20 Characters, 10 Stages, 100 Waves
Game Information
About This Game
Monster Survivors is a free-to-play 2D top-down roguelike survival game inspired by Vampire Survivors, playable directly in your browser. Control your character with pure movement — all equipped weapons fire automatically — and survive waves of increasingly dangerous monsters across 10 themed stages. Choose from 20 unique characters, each with distinct stats and passive abilities, and build your loadout from 35+ auto-attack weapons that evolve through 5 power levels.
Each stage consists of 10 waves of escalating difficulty, featuring a mid-boss at Wave 5 and a massive final boss at Wave 10. Enemy HP scales by +15% per wave and +30% per stage, creating an intense difficulty curve from the peaceful Emerald Forest to the chaotic Chaos Realm. Collect coins to fill your gauge and choose from 3 random abilities — new weapons or stat-boosting buffs — to create powerful synergies that vary with every run.
Between runs, spend Diamonds on permanent upgrades across 8 stat categories, unlock new characters (100–1,000 Diamonds each), and purchase shop-exclusive weapons (100–500 Diamonds). With 20 bosses to conquer, 12 stackable buffs, and an evolving weapon system, Monster Survivors delivers endless replayability in a browser-friendly package optimized for both PC and mobile devices.
