Cats Survivors
About Cats Survivors
Cats Survivors is a survivors-style action roguelite where you play as a cat warrior fending off endless waves of monsters. The weapon fires automatically — movement and perk choices drive every run. Enemies grow nastier the longer a run lasts, and each session ends with gold and crafting materials carrying over regardless of outcome.
Between runs, a hub area holds everything needed to grow stronger: the Forge, the Armory, the Incubator, the Pet Zone, the Upgrade Table, the Elemental Board, and the War Table. One scene in the hub shows a red carpet stretching from a large blue cat-shaped structure toward a pile of gold coins. In another moment, a line of small white skeletons with black eye sockets encircles the play area in a grid-like formation.
How to Play Cats Survivors
Each run drops you into a stage where enemies pour in without pause. Kills drop experience gems, gems level you up, and every level offers a choice of three perk cards. Take the same perk enough times and it evolves into something far stranger and stronger. Elites, bosses, chests, power-ups, and angel and devil bargains appear during runs. Gold and crafting materials return home with you at the end of every run, win or lose.
