Achilles: Survivor news & patch notes

Hello, Survivors!

In Greek myths, going home is rarely straightforward. There is usually a god, a curse, a monster - or all three - waiting on the way.

Update 1.6 follows that tradition quite faithfully.

This time, we bring you two things we are especially happy about: Odysseus joins Achilles: Survivor in a new FREE DLC, and Tartarus opens as the biggest Realm we have added since launch.

So let us begin where all good trouble should begin: with a hero.

Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story of that man skilled in all ways of contending, the wanderer, harried for years on end.

\ New Survivor - Odysseus, the King of Ithaca

Some heroes win by strength.

Odysseus prefers a plan that goes wrong for everybody else first.

Fresh from the Odyssey and the world of Greek mythology, Odysseus joins Achilles: Survivor as a swift Marksman with high mobility. He is a great fit for players who like keeping enemies at a distance - and making sure they regret chasing them.

There is time for many words, and there is also time for many arrows. ~Homer, probably

His Power, Odysseus’ Bow, fires a strong triple shot - one main arrow and two supporting arrows - letting you punish anything bold enough to approach you.

His Talent, Marksman’s Trap, rewards movement by leaving behind a deadly turret trap once its bar is charged.

He is free for all players, and we really recommend trying him out - with his short cooldowns, he feels refreshingly dynamic on the battlefield.

\ The Realm of Hades

Escaping the Dungeons and defeating Hades was apparently not enough.

He has returned in his usual underhanded style and pulled the Survivors into a dreadful new Realm now fully under his control.

Old contender, will you not yield to the immortal gods?

This is the biggest content addition we have made since launch, and if you were hoping for a calmer summer holiday destination, we regret to inform you that Greek mythology has disappointed you once again.

Tartarus brings a darker, harsher stretch of the journey, with 5 locations and an Endless version, along with new enemies and bosses.

New Bosses and Mid-Bosses

The new Realm introduces new encounters, bringing threats that may feel familiar from Achilles: Legends Untold into a much less forgiving environment.

Among the Mid-Bosses, you will face:

• Griffin and Cyclops, returning in harsher forms from the world of the dead

The Realm also features two major boss encounters:

• Phobos and Scorpion King, now reborn in a fearsome underworld form

So yes - if you had unfinished business with either of them, fate has kindly arranged a rematch.

There will be killing till the score is paid.

🔊 Ambient sounds added to all Realms

All Realms now start with ambient background audio to make each location feel more distinct. Ancient Greece should sound a little more alive - especially when it is trying to kill you

By hook or by crook this peril too shall be something that we remember.

💥 Explosive enemies deal slightly less damage

Your favourite explosive enemies are still dangerous, but their blasts should now feel a bit less punishing.

You still should not stand next to them on purpose. We feel this is important to clarify.

From Toruń, with love

We really hope you enjoy this Odyssey-themed update.

A few more things are happening on our side too:

• Brightfall just got a new trailer revealed by IGN! It still feels a little unreal, and of course we recommend you watch it. But we might be biased.

• Achilles: Legends Untold received a small but heartfelt update…

• and Achilles: Survivor is now getting this, our biggest update in quite a while.

But most importantly, our entire team is going to see the Odyssey in less than two weeks!! τέτλαθι δή, κραδίη: καὶ κύντερον ἄλλο ποτ᾽ ἔτλης.

Thank you all for being here -and if you are going to see the Odyssey, tell us on our Discord

See you on the battlefield,

~Dark Point Games Team

Hello, Survivors!

Update 1.5 is here, and this one brings a bit of everything: a new optional DLC Survivor for players who enjoy summon builds, three new Powers available to everyone, two new Structures, a brand-new attribute for ally-focused playstyles, and a much less stubborn path to Rebirth.

And since many of you have been sharing feedback about the early game, we also wanted to give you more interesting choices right from the start.

Let’s begin with the optional part - and then move straight to the free additions for everyone else.

\ A new Survivor joins the roster

For those of you who enjoy spellcasting, summon builds, and the general fantasy of solving problems by arriving with your own army, we’ve added a brand-new playable Survivor: Skeleton King, the Cursed Necromancer.

He is built around commanding the dead - and letting his loyal subjects do the dangerous part of the job.

His Power, Necromantic Pulse, lets him raise skeletal allies during battle, so the longer the fight goes on, the less alone he is. His Talent, Necromantic Shield, turns that growing army into defense as well - surrounding him with spinning bone shields based on the number of summons he controls, pushing enemies back and boosting his survivability.

If you decide to pick him up, that also helps support our studio and lets us keep making more updates like this one, which we appreciate more than any undead monarch ever will.

If summon builds are not your thing, no worries - the rest of Update 1.5 is for everyone.

✨ Three new Powers for everyone

We’ve seen a lot of feedback that the beginning of the game can sometimes take a little too long to properly start being fun. So with Update 1.5, we wanted to give the early game a bit more diversity. That is why all three new Powers below are available right away from the start.

⚔️ New Power - Shards

For once, hesitating may improve your odds.

As you move, cursed blades build up. The moment you stop, they fire in a volley at the nearest enemies - one blade per target, up to a base maximum stack of 10. It gives you a new reason to think about positioning and turns every short pause into a sharp little counterattack.

Available from the start of the game.

⚔️ New Power - Thanatos’ Scythes

If death himself cannot join your run, he can at least lend you the equipment.

Thanatos’ Scythes summons deadly scythes around your Survivor. They orbit you, spiral outward, and deal damage on contact, giving you a strong new option for players who like close-range pressure and constant movement.

Available from the start of the game.

⚔️ New Power - Wall of Blades

This one is exactly what it sounds like, which is part of the appeal.

Wall of Blades creates a circular fence of swords around your Survivor. It’s a practical solution for enemies with boundary issues. Each sword damages the first enemy it touches and then shatters, which means the wall slowly opens up and creates gaps. It gives you strong protection at first, but it does not stay perfect forever.

Available from the start of the game.

🏛 New Structure - Shrine of Resurrection

Sometimes a run goes badly. Now you get one second chance.

Shrine of Resurrection grants a one-time revival if your Survivor falls, bringing you back with 50% Health. Once it saves you, it is destroyed for the rest of that run, so this is not immortality - just a very welcome piece of insurance.

🏛 New Structure - Soul Well

If you enjoy killing enemies and then profiting from it, we have good news.

Soul Well is a sacrificial structure. Defeat enemies around it to fill the circle, just like you would do with a chest, and once it is complete, the Well destroys itself and spits out rewards - including, if fortune smiles on you, a powerful allied mid-boss for a short time.

You can now earn yourself some very large friends.

New Attribute - Summon Damage

Summon-focused builds now have a proper stat to grow into.

Summon Damage is a brand-new attribute dedicated to allies and summons. New level-up cards can increase it during runs, and you can also buy those upgrades in the Workshop. In short: if your build relies on minions, they can now hit much harder.

🛠 Rebirth improvement

We have made Rebirth much easier to reach.

From now on, Rebirth unlocks after maxing out 5 Favours instead of all of them. That means significantly less grind and a much faster path to this endgame system.

🛠 Rebirth achievement fix

We also adjusted the achievement tied to Rebirth.

It is now awarded after you actually use Rebirth, rather than when the option merely becomes available. That should make the requirement much clearer and more consistent with the other achievements.

PS: our game designer claims this is the final version of the Rebirth changes. Are we choosing to trust him? Jokes aside, we apologise for multiple changes - sometimes it takes time to find a good solution. We hope these adjustments finally make the mechanic feel much more rewarding without asking for quite so much patience first.

Hello from Toruń, city of gingerbread

As always, thank you for playing, thank you for leaving feedback, and thank you for being honest with us when something feels great - or when it very much does not. A lot of these changes you see in our announcements start exactly there.

Spring has fully arrived here in Toruń, which means... it's cold and surprisingly rainy. We, meanwhile, are here adding skeletons, scythes, and second chances to the game.

Which feels like a fair use of May.

Let us know what do you think about new Powers and Structures - we’re curious which one will be the most popular

See you on the battlefield, ~ Dark Point Games Team

...

If you’ve read this far, Pythia offers you a small reward: a glimpse of what awaits in the next update. A new (and free) Survivor is coming - and yes, you already know his name.

Hello, Survivors!

It’s time for the most important holiday of the year*.

We’re wishing you a calm Easter weekend - and a mildly cursed April Fools week!

🥚 To celebrate for the next week, regular chests might behave… strangely. We won’t spoil it. Just open a few and see what our local Chick… Rooster God has been up to.

🐣 There is one “treat” we can reveal: chests can now roll a Poison Cloud effect - and this one is staying in the game even after the event ends.

🐥 And a small but important change: one of the achievements no longer requires you to actually use Rebirth. From now on, it’s enough to meet the requirements to perform Rebirth (for those of you who prefer to keep your progress intact or just don’t find the mechanic appealing).

IMPORTANT:

🐔 If you get a chest surprise that made you smile, please let our design team know in the comments. They had a lot of fun coming up with ideas and would love to see your reactions!

Happy Easter, and happy April Fools!

All the best from Toruń from yours truly ~Dark Point Games team

*Based on a rigorous study conducted on a research group consisting of exactly one Alectryon.

\ New Survivor - Become the Beast of the Labyrinth

Minotaur is a Warrior built to stay in the middle of the fight. His kit rewards you for standing your ground in the melee instead of running away.

• His unique power, Heavy Stomp, allows him to slam the ground and crush nearby enemies with the full weight of his hooves.

• Thanks to his talent, once you defeat 150 enemies using melee powers, a furious spectral echo is summoned, charging forward and trampling everything in its path.

• His bonus stats: +450 Max Health, +25% Melee Damage, +20% Critical Damage make him even more formidable fighter.

If you’re in the mood to try something different from your usual runs, the Minotaur is a fun excuse to do it. He’s our biggest Survivor yet - literally! - a towering wall of muscle and horns that changes the feel of melee play instantly. If that sounds fun to you, the DLC is now available on Steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4315660/Achilles_Survivor__The_Beast_of_the_Labyrinth/

New stuff for everyone in 1.4

🏛 New Structure: Daedalus’ Labyrinth

🪓 New Power: Minotaur Axe

🛡️ New Pickup - Minotaur Armor

✨ New Transformation for Battering Ram: “You Shall Not Pass”

🗺️ New Languages

• Traditional Chinese

• Turkish

⚖️ Balance changes

• Rebirth now feels better, faster with new improvements:

  • New Powers after Rebirth now appear earlier during the run.

  • After Rebirth you now gain a permanent +10% EXP bonus, helping you to level up quicker.

• Hermes’ Sandals now also increase Dodge chance (on top of movement speed), allowing you to avoid enemy attacks.

• Bosses gained partial resistance to Poison, as Poison was melting them too fast.

• Structure damage scaling over time has been reduced - turret-style builds were scaling too hard in longer runs.

🛠️ Quality of Life

• Improved damage feedback so hits are clearer and easier to read in the chaos.

• Pandora’s Box event now has a short delay before champions spawn after you enter the circle, giving you a moment to reposition.

• Rebirth achievement reward description now clearly mentions the extra Power slot reward.

• Manual Aim support added for Paris’ Talent “Arrow in the Heel”.

💝 Some final notes

Survivors,

🗝 Rebirth, now improved

• each round lets you pick 1 out of 4 Improvements for your existing Powers

🎯 Mouse controls and smarter aiming

• You can now play using mouse controls if that is your preferred way to survive the hordes

• Most Powers also gained an option to auto target the nearest enemy, which makes aiming smoother and more accessible, especially for new players

• if auto aim is enabled, letting go of the analog stick now turns auto aim off, so you can instantly switch back from the manual precision when you need it

🇮🇹 New language: Italian

🛡 Structures, crits and balance

• Structures now gain HP over time and with difficulty Your defenses toughen up as the run goes on, so they are not instantly deleted in the late stages.

• Critical Hit Chance now has a cap Crit chance can no longer reach 100%. High end builds should still feel powerful, but there should always be some risk.

🛠 Quality of life improvements

• Nezha’s Power now starts in the direction of the nearest enemy instead of straight ahead, which makes his opening moments much more reliable

• Pythia’s Power has been strengthened so it feels more useful early on rather than “good later, if you manage to survive weak now”

• Post run summary flow was cleaned up

  • first tap on Space shows the stat screen

  • second tap returns you to the main menu No more accidentally skipping your summary because you pressed Space too fast.

• Rebirth button is now easier to see and understand, so you do not miss it when you are ready for a fresh start

• Highlighting Hard difficulty now clearly explains that this mode is where you earn Divine Crystals, which was one of the most common questions

• When you reach the maximum level for a class, the game now makes it clear, so you know you squeezed every drop of power out of that Survivor

🤝 You are in the game

🌒 Somewhere far, far away from Tartarus…

Survivors,

The air feels different this week. Perhaps it’s the chill of autumn sweeping through Toruń, or perhaps it’s the wind from Tartarus itself creeping through the cracks between worlds. The fires burn lower, and the scent of smoke and carved pumpkin mixes strangely with ash.

We’d call it a seasonal bug, but no. This time, it’s definitely a trick by Hades himself.

To celebrate mortals’ curious habit of mixing fear with laughter, the Lord of the Dead has twisted the Basements into a grotesque parody of harvest cheer. What once hid secrets of the underworld now brims with pumpkins - foul, grinning things that spitting at anything that moves.

Fear not, though. The spell will fade in a week’s time, and the pumpkins will return to whatever corner of the Underworld they escaped from.

Yet not everything will vanish.

In his strange generosity, Hades has allowed a few of his servants to stay. These skeletons, risen from Tartarus and crowned with pumpkins in place of heads, have decided to fight for you instead of against you. You can find them in the Workshop and enlist them to aid you in your next run.

Consider it a treat from the God of the Dead himself.

🕯️ Your Halloween Checklist

• Explore the pumpkin-filled Basements before they disappear next week.

• Recruit your skeletal allies and let them rattle beside your Myrmidons.

• Enjoy the eerie calm while it lasts… The dark never stays quiet for long.

Whether you are fighting the undead in Tartarus or watching the mist roll over the river here in Toruń, we wish you a hauntingly good Halloween.

Stay warm, Survivors. It's so cold here ːzoteː

~ The Dark Point Games Team

Hello, Survivors!

We’ve been hard at work these past few weeks, combing through your feedback and chasing down the most reported issues. Update 1.2 is a smaller patch, but it brings something for everyone: a new endgame feature, a golden new structure, and plenty of fixes and quality-of-life tweaks.

✨ New Endgame Feature: Rebirth

For those of you who already maxed out the Favour tree, there is now a new challenge. You can sacrifice all that progress in exchange for an extra Power slot, opening up new build possibilities and pushing your late-game runs even further.

🏛️ New Structure: Midas Statue

What’s better than gold? More gold! That’s why our new structure, Midas Statue, can transform enemies into gold… and make them drop Gold when slain.

🛠️ Quality of Life Improvements

You asked for more clarity and smoother play, so here’s what we added:

• Kamikaze enemies now play a distinct sound effect. They are easier to notice and a bit more fun to dodge.

• Hold time shortened when using reroll, so you get back to action sooner.

• Added new on-screen tips to help explain options and mechanics, so new and returning players learn faster.

• You can now leave the Workshop with ESC, which makes navigating menus quicker.

⚖️ Balance Changes

• Dodge cap introduced: Player Dodge has been capped to preserve challenge. Say goodbye to your immortal builds…

• Shield Throw buffed: Higher damage and longer duration make the Power more comparable with the rest.

• Scaling adjusted for Locus of Repulsion so it remains useful without overwhelming other tools at high levels.

• Status Strength improvements are now available for Pronomus’ Power from the start.

• Blades of Madness upgraded: Starts with 3 blades (up from 2), with higher damage and a slightly longer duration for stronger crowd control.

• Reduced Wrath of Ares cooldown so the Power feels more dynamic during fights.

🐛 Bug Fixes

And of course, plenty of fixes to make your runs smoother:

• The Workshop no longer breaks after very long sessions.

• Enemies killed by Myrmidons spawned from the Trojan Horse now properly count toward the “enemies killed by buildings” objective on Greece Map 4.

• Fixed cases where some attacks collided with incorrect objects in The Chambers of Bridges.

• Corrected French localization for clearer UI and descriptions.

• Removed the Rift circle objective element. This now matches how event-spawned Rifts behave, improving consistency.

• Fixed uneven ground on one location that could cause movement issues.

• Corrected Medusa Statue category color to Support, matching its true category.

• On ultrawide monitors, the event countdown seconds no longer overlap the minimap.

One last note for our console players:

the PlayStation and Xbox updates are almost done cooking. Once testing and store certification are complete, those versions will jump straight to 1.2, bringing all the content from Updates 1.1 and 1.2 in one go. We are also wrapping up work on the Nintendo Switch, which will launch directly with 1.2 so everyone starts on equal footing.

💬 How are you all doing?

Beside working on updates, we’ve been sneaking in some time with Silksong ːsilksongː. Team Cherry did it again, "just one more try on this boss... One more, I promise..."

\

ːshermaː

Thank you for being here with us. We can’t wait to see you all on the battlefield, no matter where you play. It’s getting very autumn-y here in Poland, but of course your support keeps us warm. 💙

~Dark Point Games Team

Survivors,

In just over two weeks since release, you’ve carried Achilles: Survivor further than we could have alone. Hotfix 1.01, Hotfix 1.02, Crash Fix, and Update 1.1: The Gift of Midas were all built from your feedback, your bug reports, and your determination to make every run better.

Some of you have asked for a way to support our games beyond just playing them. That’s why we made this small Supporter Pack - an optional DLC inspired by King Midas himself.

Disclaimer: it’s purely cosmetic. There will be no P2W in our games, we’re strongly against it.

So, what do you get?

• Your Survivors can wear gold. Every Survivor has a Midas‑touched version you can choose to look more stylish in battle.

• You can switch looks instantly in the character select screen, swapping between gold and your usual appearance whenever you feel like it.

• Your main menu shows a unique supporter badge that quietly says I was part of building this - a small signal other Myrmidons will recognize.

And the most important perk:

Your support helps us keep updating Achilles: Survivor, move our next project forward, and bring new worlds from our little studio in Toruń to your screen ❤️

Whether you pick it up or not, you’ve already given us something more precious than gold: your trust. It’s the one thing we can’t mine, craft, or forge.

So thank you all for being here with us. ~ Dark Point Games Team

Survivors -

we didn’t want you waiting long.

It’s been just over two weeks since the full release of Achilles: Survivor, and you’ve already filled our Discord, reviews, and inboxes with feedback. Some of it was praise (thank you 💙), some was bug reports (thank you, too!), and plenty was “can you please fix this now?”

The answer is “yes, of course, we will try our best!”

So we rolled up our sleeves, grabbed a pot of molten gold from King Midas’ vault, and forged Update 1.1 as quickly as we could. Almost every change you’ll read here comes directly from your comments and ideas.

✨ New Power: Tears of Midas

Fire golden projectiles from both sides of your Survivor, slicing through enemies with style worthy of a king’s treasury.

King Midas was said to turn everything he touched into gold - an extraordinary gift that became his curse. In Achilles: Survivor, his tears fell heavy, each drop carrying the weight of his regret, and the power to destroy what they touched. Those tears take form of bright, golden projectiles from both sides of your Survivor, cutting through enemy ranks.

Their radiant arcs make them perfect for sweeping aside entire groups and keeping the battlefield clear on every flank. This power is available for all Survivors.

🌍 New Language: Portuguese

Now fully supported in menus, UI, and gameplay - welcome to the battlefield, Survivors from Portugal and Brazil!

🛠️ Quality of Life Improvements

Our first priority was to address the most frustrating, game-breaking moments - like getting stuck in buildings or dealing with those kamikaze enemies you’ve told us so much about.

• Added a Pause Menu “Unstuck” button so you can instantly free yourself if you get trapped by buildings or terrain.

• Made Kamikaze enemies easier to spot and reduced their damage so they’re still dangerous, but no longer punishingly unfair.

• Gave mid-bosses a small chance to drop the Magnetic Harp, making those fights more rewarding.

• Added a progress bar for timed events so you know exactly when the next one will start, plus a toggle in settings if you prefer a cleaner screen.

• Made event and stone deposit icons on the minimap flash briefly when they appear so you can react faster.

• Added a “How to Play” reminder popup before your first run so new players know where to find tips - shown only once, so it won’t annoy you.

• Added controller vibration when you take damage so hits feel more impactful.

• The Basement and Rift circles caused too much confusion, so we replaced them with timers so you instantly understand how those mechanics work.

• Added E and Q keyboard shortcuts to scroll tabs left and right, so you can navigate menus faster without touching the mouse.

🛠️ UI Improvements

Many of you told us the UI made it harder to play than it should be, so we’ve cleaned it up and made key information easier to find at a glance.

• Added a visual marker to Favours that are ready to be claimed, so you’ll instantly know when a new one is available.

• Reordered pause/summary screen stats so the most important info is easier to find.

• Added an option to let you check your current Powers directly from the improvement or transformation selection screens, helping you make better upgrade choices.

• Improved visibility of Power tags (Range, Strike, etc.) so you can compare abilities more easily.

• Added clear seconds indicators to Structure Invulnerability so you know exactly how long the effect lasts.

• Revealed the titles of locked Survivors so achievements make more sense and both Achilles variants are easier to tell apart.

• Moved event start popups to match boss warning placement so they’re more noticeable.

⚖️ Balance Changes

• Objective tuning: Lowered requirements for some of the most demanding objectives so they still require effort, but less luck.

• Forge: Increased durability so it will last you longer in battle.

• Statue of Medusa output: Increased cooldown, with further increases for each additional Statue built, to keep resource gains balanced over time.

• Agamemnon’s Wrath: Reduced cooldown from 15s to 11s so you can use it more often.

🐛 Bugfixes

• Fixed an issue where Myrmidons could get stuck and stop fighting. They now work as intended and will support you in battle instead of slacking off.

• Fixed collision in the Medusa Statue that could trap players.

• Corrected names and icons for several Steam achievements (Conquest of Endless Troy, Conquest of Endless Dungeons, Conquest of Endless Mountain Fortress).

• Fixed incorrect first-level value for the Enchanter’s “Greed of Enchanter” Favour.

• Fixed Magical Overload for Enchanter so it properly increases your cooldown speed.

• Damage numbers above 2.1 billion now display correctly.

• Changed Medusa building category from “Turret” to “Support” so it’s listed properly.

• Various language fixes in Polish, Chinese, and French.

A Golden Thank You 💛

Thank you for the incredible launch, for every comment, and for sticking with us through the bumps along the way. In just two weeks, you’ve helped shape Achilles: Survivor more than we could have alone.

With Update 1.1, we’re also introducing the Supporter Pack - a small, purely cosmetic DLC forged in the spirit of King Midas. Just as his touch turned all it met into gold, this pack gives every Survivor a shimmering golden skin and places a unique supporter’s badge in your main menu.

And the most important perk:

Your support helps us keep updating Achilles: Survivor, move our next project forward, and bring new worlds from our little studio in Toruń to your screen ❤️

If that’s not your thing, that’s perfect too - your trust already means more than gold to us.

Keep telling us what works, what frustrates you, and what you dream of seeing next. Every run you play helps us make the next one better.

See you on the battlefield, Survivors! ~ Dark Point Games Team

Hi Survivors,

We finally have good news for everyone who’s been running into crashes with the latest Nvidia drivers - and a working solution!

You can now launch Achilles: Survivor using DirectX 11 to bypass the issue.

To do this:

Hello Survivors,

We’ve just released a second hotfix to improve your experience after the 1.0 launch. Today’s changes focus on clarity, performance, and those elusive achievements:

✅ Determination VIII & IX - Fixed for 0.6 saves

If you’ve continued from an Early Access save, these two achievements should now track properly.

✅ FPS limit

To help people that reported their GPUs overheating, we set the FPS limit to default.

You can of course adjust it freely in settings!

✅ Ray Tracing Toggle

More graphic settings: Ray Tracing can now be turned on and off in the settings.

✅ Clearer Side Objective Description

We’ve updated the confusing challenge text: “Build a forge and transform any power” to “Raise any power to level 5 and build the forge.” Clearer. Hopefully less frustrating.

✅ Spelling & Description Fixes

No more “Enchaters” in your menus - we’ve corrected a bunch of minor typos and weird phrasing across UI elements.

🔧 For those experiencing crashes

We’re still actively working on a fix for the crash issue affecting some players, especially those using the latest NVIDIA drivers.

If this is happening to you, we’d be incredibly grateful for your help:

👉 Join our Discord https://discord.com/invite/H7HEfABP9U and ping or DM Roni in this thread - Discord - Group Chat That’s All Fun & Games - we’re gathering logs from affected players in a private crash channel. Every report helps us move faster.

In the meantime, turning off Ray Tracing might be worth a try while we work on the proper fix.

💬 Final Words These fixes wouldn’t be possible without your feedback - thank you to everyone who left a review, message, or bug report this week.

At the end, we want to give a special shoutout to one person in particular:

Huge thanks to Exo from our Discord. From the very start, they reported the Determination achievement bug, kept us updated, and even shared their save file to help us test the fix.

Your help made a real difference - thank you for being a part of our journey 💙

~Dark Point Games Team

Hi, Survivors! A bit of good news today - we’ve just released Hotfix 1.0.1 to tackle some of the biggest issues reported after launch.

Here's what it addresses:

✅ Save loss issue is (hopefully) fixed With this update, your saves should now safely sync with Steam Cloud, even if the game closes unexpectedly.

And remember - if this has happened to you, we are here for you! Come by our Discord and we’ll recover your save: Steam Community .

✅ No more getting stuck in buildings

You can no longer get trapped inside a structure if you're standing in its preview (ghost) form while it's being built.

✅ Determination VIII & IX achievements These should now track progress correctly for everyone.

✅ Anti-aliasing option now works Disabling anti-aliasing in the settings now correctly takes effect.

✅ Manual Aim label removed We’ve removed the “not recommended” tag next to the Manual Aim setting - it’s working well enough now that we’re confident in letting you decide for yourself. (It’s cosmetic only, nothing about the system changed.)

✅ Credits added We’ve updated the in-game credits and want to sincerely apologize to our team members whose names were missing before 😅 Thank you for your work - and your patience.

What’s next?

• We’re actively working on a fix for the crash issues caused by the latest NVIDIA driver update. Thank you for your patience - we know how frustrating this is. In the meantime, you can find a temporary workaround here: Steam Thread: Fatal Error after updating drivers

• We’re also gathering feedback on what you’d like us to focus on next. Balance changes? New content? More QoL improvements? We want to hear what’s important to you!

We hope this hotfix makes your experience smoother 😊 Let us know if the game works better for you now!

~Dark Point Games Team

Hi Survivors,

Wow, what a week it’s been.

We’re aware of the issues you’ve been reporting - and we wanted to give you a little update on what we’re doing about them, and assure you that a fix is coming soon...

But before that, there’s something else we need to say:

THANK YOU

We honestly have no words for the sheer amount of support, feedback, and love we’ve received over the past few days. We’re just a small indie team from Toruń, (Poland), and while it might sound cheesy, we genuinely didn’t expect this kind of response.

Let’s start with a few highlights:

Our all-time concurrent player peak jumped from 341 (during Early Access launch) to 1357. That’s a 300%+ increase!

For comparison, our previous game, Achilles: Legends Untold, had a peak of 470. We’re not saying we could storm Troy together now… but we might have the numbers.

We’ve also received a lot of love from streamers - just look at the difference compared to our previous updates!

And our reviews? Absolutely lovely:

Even Steam reviews stayed very positive until dipping slightly over the weekend. (We absolutely understand why - more on that below.)

Last but not least: we showed the game at ChinaJoy! Yes, we brought Achilles to Shanghai. That’s... quite far from Poland.

That’s not to mention all the social media comments, Steam discussions, Discord messages, and reviews all over the internet ❤️

Here’s a real-time photo of our team processing everything:

Compared to other games, it might seem small - but to us, every record we break means the world. We believe in getting better with each day (and each update).

At the same time, we want to assure you: we’re listening, and we’re working on the hotfix. Every issue you report is looked into, and we’re doing our best to fix them all as soon as possible.

We’re a small team, so some things take a little longer - but we’re on it.

🐛 Known Issues & What We're Doing

Here’s a quick rundown of the bugs you’ve reported and what we’re doing to fix them:

⚙️ Lost progression (Steam Cloud conflict)

• This is our top priority. The issue seems to happen when Steam Cloud syncs incorrectly after a crash or forced shutdown.

If this happened to you, please join our Discord and ping Remek (Remigiusz Starzak) - he will help you retrieve your progress ASAP!

We’ll help every single person who reports lost progress. The fastest way to do so is to share your achievements with us.

⚙️ Achievements Determination VIII and IX not unlocking

These may not register progress made before version 1.0. They will be addressed in the next hotfix.

⚙️ Nvidia driver 580.88 crashes Some players reported crashes after updating their drivers to version 580.88. This is affecting multiple games, not just Achilles.

If you haven’t updated yet, hold off a bit. If you already did - you can find a workaround in this thread: Fatal Error message after updating graphics drivers :: Achilles: Survivor General Discussions

⚙️ Getting stuck in structure preview

If you’re standing in the ghost (preview) version of a structure while it’s being built, you may get stuck. For now, avoid standing in the blueprint zone while confirming construction.

Other:

• Myrmidons have gone rogue. They may attack random buildings instead of enemies.

• We are aware that the anti-aliasing option cannot be disabled in the options.

• There is a small chance that the game may become unresponsive on the improvement/transformation/pause menu selection screen.

We sincerely apologize for these issues. Our team is investigating each one and doing our best to fix them as quickly as possible - most of them are already confirmed to be in the upcoming hotfix. If you find more, please visit this thread and let us know:

\ Official bug thread | KNOWN ISSUES :: Achilles: Survivor General Discussions

🔧 What’s next?

We’re working on a hotfix to address the most urgent bugs, including lost saves, progression issues, and Nvidia crashes.

If all goes well, it will go live tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on test results.

We're also working on balance changes, especially to the endless mode - they will be coming after our Discord competition ends (next week) to make it fair to all participants.

Stay tuned for any future announcements!

~Dark Point Games team

Survivors!

You thought you could escape my wrath.

You fought your way through scorched coastlines, blood-soaked battlefields, and cursed fortresses - each run a desperate step toward freedom. But every path, every escape, always led you back to where it all began -

- to me.

And now, there’s nowhere left to run.

Descend into the Depths of Tartarus and face your greatest challenge yet.

No more second chances.

Will you let the gods define your fate… or make a last stand against the one who started it all?

We're in the Endgame now.

🎉 Achilles: Survivor leaves Early Access today.

Version 1.0 brings more changes than all previous updates combined: you’ll face new horrors in a twisted realm, test your strength in Endless Mode, gain new powers, and unlock four powerful new Survivors - each with their own unique playstyle.

Read on to discover what’s waiting for you in version 1.0. And maybe grab a jug of tea - or ambrosia - because it’s a lot.

🌍 New Realm: Dungeons. Explore the Depths of Tartarus.

Venture into the darkest corners of the underworld in our brand-new fourth realm.

Dungeons are no ordinary prison - the souls of condemned bandits and terrifying creatures roam among the ruined structures, allowing no Survivor to escape without a fight.

You’ll face new, terrifying enemies, deadly midbosses, and powerful Overlords in six narrow, labyrinthine locations that leave little room to run… and nowhere to hide.

What lies in wait within the Depths of Tartarus?

🛠️ New Feature: Endless Mode. Prepare for Endless Pain

Your adventure with Achilles can now last forever… Or at least as long as your skills allow.

Every realm now has its own Endless variant, perfect for pushing your build to its limits. Survive as long as you can (and let us know your best time 💙)

🛠️ New Feature: Talents. Unlock a unique ability for each Survivor

Each Survivor has gained a unique Talent - a passive ability that differentiates them from other characters.

It’s one of the biggest changes in 1.0, designed to make each run feel more distinct, and each Survivor more… themselves. For example, Diomedes - king of Argos, said to have founded ten cities before he died - gains bonus building speed with each completed structure and recovers some missing health.

🛠️ New Feature: Favors rework.

The Favour system has been overhauled! You’ll now experience more meaningful build variety as each class feels more distinct - with new specialization paths and modifiers.

🛡️ New Characters:

Achilles - the Kingslayer

→ Fast striking speed, high mobility and dodge chance. An assassin who strikes from the shadows.

A silent killer forged in the fires of war.

Achilles was once the shining hero of Greece - commander of the Myrmidons, unstoppable on the battlefield, and a demigod whose name echoed across the Aegean. But that man died in Troy. What returned from the underworld is something else entirely.

Now wearing the very armor in which he slew Agamemnon, Achilles no longer leads legions. He moves alone - fast, deadly, and unseen until it’s far too late.

They call him… the Kingslayer.

Agamemnon - The Conqueror of Troy

-> High armor, heavy damage, low mobility. Commands the battlefield through brute force.

A heavy-armored warlord delivering devastating melee strikes.

Agamemnon was never just a king - he was the king. Ruler of Mycenae, supreme commander of the Greek forces during the Trojan War, and the man whose word brought fire and ruin to the walls of Troy. His brother Menelaus may have had the grudge, but it was Agamemnon who turned it into war.

Don’t expect elegance - his movement is slow, and his strategy relies on overwhelming force.

Feared by his allies, hated by his enemies, and too proud for the gods themselves, Agamemnon led through dominance and blood. Now, ripped from the underworld and clad in iron heavier than his conscience, he returns as a force of pure aggression.

His thirst for power has only grown.

Steropes, the Mighty Smasher

→ Slow movement, high power, high armor. A walking tank who turns the battlefield into a demolition site.

A living relic of the old gods.

Steropes is one of the Elder Cyclopes - the children of Gaia and Uranus, ancient blacksmiths who once forged the thunderbolts of Zeus. In the depths of Hephaestus’ forge, he shaped weapons that would shatter mountains. Now, he brings that same force to the battlefield.

He doesn’t move fast. He doesn’t need to.

As a tank, he trades speed for overwhelming strength and heavy armor. Every strike lands like a forge hammer - slow to wind up, but absolutely crushing.

He has one eye. Two fists. And zero patience.

Nezha - The Third Lotus Prince

→ High mobility, high crit chance, lower shooting damage. A fast, unpredictable fighter who blends martial skill with magical trickery.

He’s not part of this pantheon - but he wasn’t going to let that stop him.

Nezha is a legendary hero from Chinese mythology - a rebellious celestial warrior born of a lotus flower, known for defying divine orders and rewriting his own fate. Armed with enchanted relics and impossible speed, he’s outpaced demons, dragons, and now even death itself.

On the battlefield, Nezha is a blur. He strikes with a fire-tipped spear, controls crowds with his Heavenly Sash, and moves like a storm on his signature Wind Fire Wheels. He may lack long-range firepower, but when it comes to close-quarters combat, few can match his precision and flair.

Most heroes try to escape Tartarus. Nezha ran straight in - not to join the fight, but to stir it up.

🌀 New Power: Poseidon’s Fury

Call upon the Lord of the Sea to unleash a mighty wave.

Poseidon sends a powerful surge forward, knocking back enemies in front of the Survivor. Great for creating breathing room - or wiping the battlefield clean.

🏛️ New Structures

Spin Blades

This structure lashes out at nearby enemies with two rotating axes that extend and spin at regular intervals. Deals damage and applies light knockback - perfect for crowd control.

Statue of Medusa

One glance and your foes freeze. You get paid. Enemies that die to this cursed statue have a chance to turn to stone - and be converted directly into bonus Stone for your run. Build it smart, and let the Gorgon's gaze fund your construction empire.

⚔️ New enemies and adjustments

Prepare for very different nightmares, as new Overlords \, Midbosses \ and normal enemies join the battlefield.

What’s more, cyclops and spider Midbosses gained some special attacks - now all the Midbosses in the game have them.

🏆 50 New Achievements Added

Plenty of new challenges to chase down.

To make your life easier, we also introduced achievement filtering in this update.

⚔️ Balance changes

• Lowered building and mining times in Short Mode to improve pacing and lower frustration.

• 3 new improvements and tags were added: related to distance, melee, magic.

• Bosses in Hard Mode now deal less damage, making it more probable to survive… But never certain.

• Critical Hit Chance improvements were nerfed, as they were too powerful. The Trojan Horse structure received a minor nerf (now it grants 3% crit chance). Monument of Thunder was adjusted too.

• Several characters were rebalanced and received changes to their passives.

• Stone Golems now drop more Stone, befitting their name.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Graphic settings now save properly between sessions.

• “Kill inside circle” objectives now only depend on whether you’re actually inside the circle, instead of being based on enemies' placement.

• Manual Aim now works correctly in the Lava realm.

• Ranged enemies and their projectiles are now easier to spot in combat. Same for the Myrmidons.

• Summary screen now includes damage caused by statuses.

• You should no longer get stuck on power transformation screen.

• Fixed a rare bug where you could get stuck inside structures. There is no place to hide now.

And much more!

📜 The Road So Far

There’s always a bit of fear in releasing a game into the world. You never know what players will love, what they’ll demand with each update (Endless Mode was a long time coming…), or what will quietly crash in the background while you sleep during the release (broken saves on day one, anyone? We hope no one here remembers).

But over the past months, you’ve helped shape Achilles: Survivor into something we’re truly proud of.

During Early Access, we:

• Got rid of 863 bugs,

• Added Survivors, realms, powers, game modes, and more than a few spiders to the game,

• Survived reading thousands of comments, reviews, and Discord messages (thank you!)

What’s next? Well, that’s a question for another day. Today, we celebrate (and stay ready in case something breaks. Gotta love working in gamedev).

Thank you for being here with us. We hope you enjoy 1.0 - and everything still to come.

All the best from Toruń 💙

~Dark Point Games Team

PS: If you’ve read this far… we’ve got a challenge for you.

To celebrate version 1.0 and the arrival of Endless Mode, we’re running a Discord competition.

Your mission: 🎯 Survive as long as you can on Endless Greece Coastline and post a screenshot in the right channel.

Winners will earn a digital copy of one of our games, for any platform.

▶ Full rules in the #survivor-news channel on Discord! Good luck - and don't die too fast.

Survivors,

It’s time.

The armies of the underworld are rising. From the sunlit shores of Greece to the deepest dungeons, the drums of war echo once more.

Even the Fates seem lost - unable to see where this endless fight might lead.

And then… What’s this?

A familiar name appears on your calendar. Your meeting with an old enemy is long overdue.

⚔️ The date is: July 29.

Catch a glimpse of what’s coming in our brand-new trailer:

You will be able to join the fight on Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

But don’t worry - we know this fated meeting wouldn’t be possible without your endless support and love for the game. You’ve helped shape Achilles: Survivor into what it is today.

To honor that, we’re sending new allies to join your fight. They’ll stomp a few bugs along the way, and bring tales of spinning blades and statues that turn enemies to stone. Old heroes are awakening to powers once thought lost.

And we’ve pleaded with the gods to grant blessings to each class - just in case.

Thank you for being here with us.

Are you ready to return to the battlefield?

~Dark Point Games Team

Hi, Survivors!

It’s quiet… Too quiet.

We all know the storm is coming. But for now? We wait.

To ease the pain of that wait, we’re back with the second entry in our How’s Achilles Doing? dev diary series - this time with a fresh look at what’s brewing deep beneath the surface.

🎬 Watch the New Gameplay Trailer

If you’d like to refresh your memory or hunt down that one second of unreleased footage, check out our brand-new gameplay trailer with commentary from amazing Kat:

Drop by and say hi if you feel like it - we really appreciate your support 😊

👀 A Small Sneak Peek

If you haven’t watched the trailer yet, this might be a tiny spoiler.

At one point, we casually mention:

“Each class comes with its own specialization path.”

Not a throwaway line. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been cooking up:

Every class will soon gain access to its own unique specialization path, unlocking new passive bonuses as you play.

🕳️ Welcome to Hades' Beautiful Dungeon

What in Oblivion is that? The corridors are tight. The walls are closer than you’d like. And the enemies? Let’s just say they don’t believe in personal space. Decisions? Better make them fast!

After all, this is the place where Hades keeps his darkest secrets and deadliest weapons under tight guard.

We are working on five new handcrafted maps (or maybe more? ), each with new enemies, unique mechanics, and bosses. Every map forces you to approach fights differently.

Sometimes it’s better to stay near the walls, sometimes it’s worth risking a dash through the middle. One big challenge will be the tighter space. Less room to dodge, more ways to die. Should be fun?

💬 For our Chinese fans

你好! We’ve seen a growing number of Chinese fans joining us lately, and we’re so happy to have you here. Since many of our usual platforms aren’t available in China, we’ve opened accounts on Heybox and Bilibili. Updates will be shared there in Chinese so you don’t miss anything important.

We’re not sure if you’re reading this post here, but we hope it helps all the same!

Back to being Suspiciously Quiet about New Updates

That’s all for now. Nothing to see here. Certainly no major updates, new game modes, or boss fights hiding in the shadows.

Simply: thank you for being here with us 💛 ~ Dark Point Games Team

Hi, Survivors! Quick hotfix today with a few improvements based on your feedback:

🗺️ Difficulty-based map completion markers

You’ll now see which difficulty you’ve cleared each map on - perfect for tracking your achievement progress.

💥 Critical strike objective fixed

This now correctly counts both physical and status-based powers (poison, fire, etc.).

📈 Final rewards scaling per difficulty now works correctly:

🎮 Achilles: Survivor is coming to consoles!
