Version 0.5.0 - The Ranger is here!
Hello, fellow adventurers!
Exciting news awaits in the realm of Soul Survivors! We’ve just achieved a major milestone in our Early Access journey with the arrival of version 0.5.0. This update brings you an all-new character class: The Ranger. If you thrive on lightning-fast heroes armed with rapid-fire skills, then the Ranger might be for you.

Our character classes are akin to those found in classic RPGs like Diablo, each boasting a distinctive play style. No sharing abilities, mechanics, talents, or stats between characters.
Unlike the Bogatyr and Necromancer, the Ranger operates by an entirely different set of rules. As a seasoned archer, she relies on maintaining a safe distance from her foes due to her relatively lower health and defense. Attempting to wield her like a Bogatyr would only lead to imminent defeat. However, when played to her strengths, the Ranger becomes an unstoppable force of nature.
Swift and fearless, the Ranger moves with unparalleled agility, deftly evading danger while laying traps and peppering enemies with an unrelenting barrage of arrows. With her unique attack style, she tactically positions herself to engage foes from afar, ensuring precision and distance as she obliterates her targets.
Unlock a plethora of talents that elevate your gameplay experience, such as the ability to track down marked targets and take them out for a temporary cooldown boost.
Embrace the thrill of the hunt as the Ranger takes Center stage in Soul Survivors. We look forward to seeing what you all think about our new class. Feel free to discuss in the forums, or join our Discord server and never hesitate to reach out to us. We read everything and do our best to respond to everyone.

There’s a lot more to come in version 0.5.x moving forward, including the Merchant/Items system, new Curses, new features, and lots more requests. We plan to continue to release at least 1 new build every week. If you have already made a request to us, please understand we have noted it. There’s been a lot of requests and we’ll work things in as we continue development in Early Access. There’s much more to come and we’re excited to build Soul Survivors, together!
