Devlog #3
Hello Survivors!
We’re working tirelessly to fine-tune the gameplay and polish every detail. This means adjusting powers and their transformations, as well as cleaning up the menus to ensure everything is clear and intuitive. Today, we’ll give you an overview of how the game works and what you can expect when we officially move into Early Access in just one week!

You’ll start the game with only Achilles unlocked, and as you play, you’ll complete specific achievements to unlock more characters. During Early Access, you’ll have a roster of 11 unique characters (with plans to expand this in the future), each featuring their own starting power.
Powers can be improved infinitely with level-ups, but at levels 5, 10, and 15, a power can be transformed to better suit your current build. Visual cues will indicate when a power is eligible for transformation. To unlock these, you’ll need to construct a Forge, a special structure that can be built in designated areas on the map.
Transformations can provide bonuses such as increased damage or reduced cooldowns. Sometimes they’ll be straightforward upgrades, while other times you may need to sacrifice one stat to significantly boost another.
They also introduce special effects, like adding status damage, altering projectile behavior, or adding knockback. Experiment with these to create an unstoppable build as you play.
Each time you level up, you’ll choose from one of four Improvements to enhance your run. If none of the options suit your build, you can spend gold to reroll for new choices—so it’s a good idea to keep some gold on hand!
Improvements can affect Powers, Structures, and Player stats in different ways, ensuring that every run feels fresh and exciting.
The minimap is your best friend! It shows areas where you can build Structures, marks those you’ve already built, and highlights resource locations. You’ll also see where you can construct mines and find treasures scattered throughout the map.
From fiery turrets that wreak havoc to support Structures that aid you in battle, Structures are a key feature of "Achilles: Survivor". They don’t just deal damage or heal—you’ll also gain passive bonuses to further empower your Survivor.
Structures can help you outmaneuver tougher enemies, acting as terrain that lets you keep your distance while striking safely. They can also be upgraded by selecting specific Improvements during gameplay and boosting them further through Favors between battles.
