Medieval Survivor

About

A fast little arena-survival game made in PICO-8.
Pick a hero, level up, stack upgrades, and try to outlast the horde long enough to fight the boss.

Features

• 3 playable classes: Knight, Archer, Mage

• Level-up choices with randomized upgrade picks

• Multiple weapons/items (sword, bow, flame, throwing star, meteor, cloak pulse)

• Swarming enemies + escalating waves

• Boss intro cutscene and a final boss fight

Controls (PICO-8)

• Arrow keys / D-pad: Move

• ❎ (Z / C): Start / Confirm (menus)

• 🅾️ (X / V): New game / Back (depending on platform)

Tips

• Staying mobile matters more than max damage early.

• Luck can spike your XP gains—risky, but funny when it pops.

• Meteor and cloak are great “get off me” tools when the screen fills up.
