Pokémon Survivors: a free Vampire Survivors-style Pokémon game

Pokémon Survivors is a free, unofficial fan game that mixes Pokémon with Vampire Survivors. It is an action roguelite (bullet heaven) that runs in your browser and on your phone, with no download and no sign-up.

How to play

Pick your starter Pokémon, walk around the map and let it attack on its own. Survive 15 minutes of wild Pokémon hordes, collect experience, learn moves, equip held items and evolve mid-run. At the end, face Mewtwo. Then keep going in endless mode until Arceus comes hunting.

Features

• 27 starters from every region, Kanto to Paldea (Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Piplup, Froakie, Fuecoco, Sprigatito and more), each with its full evolution line.
• Eggs that hatch with the steps you take in runs: bosses, chests and rifts leave eggs that unlock 54 more playable Pokémon from every type and generation (Pikachu, Eevee, Gastly, Magikarp, Riolu, Gible, Bagon, Deino, Dreepy and more), with a 1% chance to hatch shiny. And Munchlax, which evolves into Snorlax, only hatches from the Friendship Egg: 82 playable Pokémon in all.
• Invite friends with your link: whoever signs up through it gets a Friendship Egg, and you get Mystery Gifts for every friend who really plays: another Friendship Egg, the Ambassador title with an exclusive card frame and, at 10 friends, a shiny Munchlax.
• 32 moves and 25 held items: max out a move with the right item and it evolves (Ember + Charcoal becomes Flamethrower).
• Type matchups, burn, poison and paralysis, plus a special attack for each of the 18 types such as Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, Bolt Strike and Draco Meteor. Agile lines like Treecko, Riolu and Gible dash in chains from foe to foe, and Aegislash swaps between Shield and Blade Forme.
• 415 wild Pokémon from all 9 generations, Dragons included, with Kanto, Johto and Hoenn complete (every species but the legendaries and mythicals), in 5 tiers: every run draws a different cast, from basic Pokémon early to evolved ones late, leaning towards each biome's types.
• Legendary bosses: Onix, Snorlax, a legendary trio drawn every run (the birds Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres, the beasts Raikou, Entei and Suicune or the Regis Regirock, Regice and Registeel) and Mewtwo, sometimes joined by a rare mythical: Mew, Celebi or Jirachi. Each boss has until the next one arrives or it flees; Mewtwo, at the end, blasts the horde away for a duel.
• Five biomes per run (Route 1, Viridian Forest, Mt. Moon, Mt. Silver and Lavender Tower) and weather that shifts type matchups: harsh sunlight, rain, sandstorm, snow and fog.
• Enemies with personality, at most one per stage: Chansey heals the horde, Bronzor and Bronzong shield it, Nidoqueen calls in reinforcements, Voltorb, Electrode and Drifloon explode, Magnemite and Vikavolt fire beams and Hitmonlee and Lokix leap over the horde.
• Legendary rifts: step into the arena of Lugia, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Dialga, Latias, Latios or Deoxys, each with its own terrain (shallow water, pillars, a rising tide, lava, a crumbling edge, an island ringed by surf, a meteor in space), for rare rewards.
• Mega Evolution: beat a rift legendary to get the Mega Stone, then Mega Evolve at the final evolution for 20 seconds. There are 37 Megas across 33 lines, each with its own stats, special and ability: Venusaur, Charizard X and Y, Blastoise, Raichu X and Y, Alakazam, Gengar, Dragonite, Meganium, Feraligatr, Tyranitar, Sceptile, Blaziken, Swampert, Gardevoir, Pidgeot, Gyarados, Ampharos, Scizor, Houndoom, Aggron, Manectric, Altaria, Banette, Glalie, Salamence, Metagross, Staraptor, Garchomp and Garchomp Z, Lucario and Lucario Z, Emboar, Chesnaught, Delphox and Greninja. Lines with two Megas pick their stone.
• Endless mode after Mewtwo: the horde never stops and Arceus, the reaper, hunts you from 20:00.
• Three difficulty levels, all open from the start: Normal, Hard and Nightmare, with brutal hordes and half the healing.
• Rankings by time survived on each difficulty, for today, this week and all time, filterable by Pokémon and by friends. With an account you get a public profile with a shareable link and can follow other trainers.
• Wild shinies and shiny starters, Poké Dollars and permanent upgrades in the Poké Mart, including the Shiny Charm, which doubles the shiny odds.
• Today's outbreak: every day one wild species takes over every run, the same for everyone, and its shiny shows up about twice a run.
• Daily Challenge: one run a day that is the same for everyone (same seed, Pokémon and difficulty, no upgrades or items). Only your first finished run counts on the challenge ranking, and everyone who takes part earns a gold (top 10%), silver (top half) or bronze ribbon.
• A Poké Mart with three shelves: permanent upgrades, today's counter (Lure, Incense, an egg for sale and a daily deal, with a daily stock) and Style (Poké, Great, Ultra and Master Ball frames and backgrounds for the card you share, wallpapers for the PC Box).
• An in-game Pokédex of 572 species: log every one you see and defeat, and catch the shinies you defeat, the Pokémon you hatch and every form you play.
• Daily and weekly missions and 55 achievements with bronze, silver and gold medals, some with titles to show off, like Shiny Hunter. Some weekly missions and every gold medal also give an egg.
• Map events: buff altars, healing fountains, locked chests guarded by an ambush, traps that hurt the horde too and a fleeing Meowth full of coins.
• Pokémon Mystery Dungeon-style pixel art, in English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
• Works on phones with a touch joystick and installs as an app.
