Go Forward Survivors, a 'Survivors-like with a Skill Editor', Launches on Steam

A new contender in the ever-growing 'Survivors-like' genre has just arrived on Steam: Go Forward Survivors. Setting itself apart with a distinctive “Skill Editor” twist, the game promises a fresh layer of depth to the familiar formula of facing endless hordes and incrementally powering up.

The core of Go Forward Survivors revolves around its deep customisation system. Each skill in the game comes with its own unique attack pattern, from spinning slashes to various projectile throws. Players aren't just picking pre-defined abilities; they're actively shaping them. This is achieved by swapping weapons, which alters a skill's appearance, collision range, and attack distance, alongside socketing gems that introduce elemental effects like ice, fire, lightning, or poison. Gems can also modify projectile speed and even targeting logic, allowing for highly personalised playstyles.

This intricate interplay of dozens of skills, gems, weapons, and items is touted to create a vast, almost infinite, array of build possibilities. For fans who enjoy theorycrafting and discovering synergistic combinations in their horde-survival experiences, this system offers a significant new avenue for strategic depth beyond simple stat increases.

Notably, Go Forward Survivors marks the debut project from a solo developer, who expressed a mix of nervousness and gratitude as the game went live. This launch represents a significant milestone, bringing a unique vision to a genre that continues to attract a dedicated player base. Players interested in diving into this highly customisable take on a 'Survivors-like' can find Go Forward Survivors available now on Steam.
