Entropy Survivors News

Hello, frog-and-robot fans! We’re excited to announce our first major update for Entropy Survivors is out today: The 1.1.0 Holiday Auto-attack Update.

We’ve been listening to your feedback these last two weeks and working extra hard to put together your two most requested features:

- Additional options for configuring how you control your attacks/switch characters.
- More holiday cheer, decked halls, boughs of holly, etc.


First and foremost, this update makes classic survivors-style controls possible with additional auto-attack options. We know many of you expect to be able to play a game like this with fewer inputs and are doing our best to give everyone the bullet heaven experience they expect without altering the core of the game.

In 1.1.0, enabling auto-attack allows for two new options:



One option lets you swap between melee and ranged modes at a click of a button, rather than pressing or holding. The other option will automatically switch to ranged attacks whenever ammo is available, letting you skip the button press entirely!

Some additional presents: Keyboard players can now select upgrades using the 1,2, or 3 keys to make the game easier to play without a mouse. Controller players using auto-aim can temporarily override it at any time by moving the right analog stick, giving you instant control whenever you need it.

On the non-control front: it’s time to celebrate Winter in outer space (don’t think about it too hard). Until January 1st, Entropy Survivors is running a Winter holiday event. For a limited time, enjoy some festive decorations in the hub and main menu (if this is all humbug to you: yes, it can be disabled in the settings menu).


The Winter event also features two limited-time unlockable dyes with holiday flare. Get them now and and show off these candy-coated ensembles all year long:






And of course this patch comes with other smaller changes and fixes. For the full patch notes please look below. We can’t wait to show you what else we’ve been cooking up in the new year!

UPDATE: Added a special event for the winter solstice with decorations and two unlockable dyes.

UPDATE: Added multiple new auto-attack options.

UPDATE: Controller players can use the right stick temporarily override auto-aim

UPDATE: Keyboard players can choose upgrades using the 1,2, and 3 keys. Prompts are shown for these when using auto-aim, but they also work even if auto-aim is disabled.

UPDATE: On-screen pick-ups (XP, Gold, etc) at the end of a mission are evenly split between players in a co-op game so as to not skew multiplayer awards.

FIX: Added a check to automatically reposition players who are "stuck"

FIX: Updated the description of the Fog of War Assassin perk to better convey that it triggers on enemies *inside* the smoke, rather than the player being inside the smoke.

FIX: Players who go off-screen during multiplayer should no longer be teleported into a bad position

FIX: Added extra safety checks to the Paladin's Cleansing Shield

FIX: Enchanter projectile boosts no longer apply to an entire convoy of trash trucks.

FIX: Turrets ignore invulnerable or hacked units.

FIX: Added an extra accessibility option to make some text larger.

BALANCE: Shogun class skill now applies to bosses

BALANCE: Increased aiming speed default value to 50% of normal move speed from 45%.

BALANCE: Bubbled enemies no longer have collision with player abilities.

FIX: Reload duration can no longer go negative, breaking ranged weapons. This was most likely to happen with the Enchanter class and a highly levelled-up skill tree.
FIX: Turret, Army, and other projectile visuals optimized to reduce GPU overhead and make the game less likely to aggravate bugs in GPU drivers.

BALANCE: Rocket launcher sidearm perk does significantly more damage

- BALANCE: Added more challenges/rewards to the start of the game.
- BALANCE: Rocket launcher unlocks sooner.
- BALANCE: Power-up spawn order reshuffles less often, making it less likely to get the same power-up (rapid fire, roll em up, etc) twice in a row.
- BALANCE: Stunned enemies stopped being stunned upon being hacked

- UPDATE: Pause menu shows the current mission

- FIX: Hack ability damage now shows in the advanced damage table
- FIX: Statue dialogue less likely to overflow its borders in the hub

Just an FYI for you Deck-heads: Entropy Survivors is fully playable on the Steam Deck! While we wait for that official Steam Deck Verified status, we can confirm that you can jump into the action and enjoy the game without any issues.



If you encounter any problems on Steam Deck or have suggestions, please let us know. We’re constantly working to improve the game and ensure you get the best experience possible.

Thank you for your support in this first week of launch, and happy Surviving! 👾
