New Survivor: Hafgrim - Demo Update v0.3.0

New survivor!

The Ragnarök was no match for Hafgrim, all these years of experience made him survive with ease. Every element resides within him. He may seem old, but fire, thunder, and ice have never failed to answer his calling.

Hafgrim has his own unique Constellation, different from Axeldör’s and Thyra’s.
  • Fjölkyngi Staff
  • Inferno Codex
  • Thunder Orb
  • Glacier Quartz


With this new Survivor, a new feature has been added to the game: Status Effects! Check his Constellation to find how to Paralyze, Freeze and Burn your enemies!
Hafgrim has unique stats that make his gameplay completely different yet more challenging than other Survivors. He has 100% Cooldown reduction and 25% increase in Status Effect Probability for all the weapons he wields.

More features!
  • Weapons such as Thyra’s Poison Bomb can now Poison, Axeldör’s Brann can Burn and the Electric Rune has a probability of Paralyzing enemies.
  • Constellation Passive effects have been nerfed. They had too much impact in the game and although we want them to be useful we thought they were too powerful.
  • Thyra’s Poison Bomb was also too strong as it now applies Poison, so we have reduced the Duration upgrades. Don’t worry it’s still really powerful 😊
  • Chests have now a small probability of upgrading global stats such as Damage, Area, Duration… instead of a random equipment upgrade.
  • New Artifact: Heart Locket
  • Last but not least, 2 new Reliques have been added to the Altars!
Some upgrades!
  • In the endgame panel you can now see how many Chests you’ve opened and Rerolls you’ve made.
  • Added a basic tutorial for novice Survivors.
  • New option added to the Settings panel to remove Status Effects Texts to improve the performance in case you need it.
  • Twitch feature upgraded: you will now be able to select over which enemies your Chat names will appear (over minions, only bosses…).


The Gods are watching us… I forebode dark energy coming North… He may be here sooner than we thought…

New Survivor: Thyra - Demo Update v0.2.0

New survivor!

Thyra has survived the Ragnarök and has come to hunt down every enemy she faces. No prey will escape her arrow. She wanders enchanted woods like a nomad, always alert, always searching for her next target.



Thyra has her own Constellation with 4 unique weapons and abilities!
  • Uncanny Bow
  • Revna
  • Daggers
  • Poison Bomb


Every survivor has unique stats that make the gameplay completely different from each other. For example, Thyra shoots 1 extra projectile with any weapon she wields and has an initial boost in her movement speed.

More updates!
  • We have extended the Midgard map up to Wave 4 and added new enemies! How far will you get?
  • Artifacts: A new kind of item will drop from enemies and to give the survivors a single use effect. Check them out!
  • Enemies can now drop special XP orbs that will give you an extra boost.
  • Elites and Bosses now drop either a chest or an extra large XP orb.
