How to play Poke Survivor
Poke Survivor is a short, easy-to-learn survivor game, and the whole loop fits in three steps. You pick a starter, move around the arena while your attacks fire on their own, and level up to grow stronger. Your only jobs are steering and choosing upgrades, so new players can pick it up quickly. The three steps below explain the loop, and the sections after them cover tips, where to play and what this page offers.
Pick a starter
You start every Poke Survivor run by choosing a starter, and each one fights a little differently. Pick one that suits how you like to move, then play a full run with it. Because every Poke Survivor run begins with this choice, you can try a different starter next time and compare how each one handles the waves. The <a class="link" href="/builds">builds and starters guide</a> covers which starters work for beginners and how to build around your pick.
Move, the attacks are automatic
In Poke Survivor you only steer. Your moves fire on their own, so positioning is the whole game. Keep moving so the waves of enemies cannot corner you, and watch the open space around your character. Each Poke Survivor run comes down to where you stand when the next wave arrives, so a run can end fast once you stop moving.
Level up and survive
You level up in Poke Survivor by grabbing experience, and each level lets you choose an upgrade. Those choices add up over the run, so your character gets stronger while the waves keep growing. Pick upgrades that suit your starter and the way you like to move. Then see how long your Poke Survivor run lasts.
Tips for a longer Poke Survivor run
The best tip for Poke Survivor is to treat movement as your main skill. Stay in open space when you can, and avoid drifting into spots where waves can surround you. Choose upgrades that match your starter instead of taking the first option you see. If a run ends early, start another one, because Poke Survivor runs are short and each attempt teaches you something about positioning.
Play Poke Survivor in your browser
You can play Poke Survivor free in your browser, with no download and no install. The game runs right here in the window at the top of this page. If the game does not load, press the Open Poke Survivor in a new tab button under the window. A desktop browser with a keyboard gives smoother movement, while a phone browser loads the game but can feel cramped.
Who Poke Survivor is for
Poke Survivor is for anyone who wants a quick Pokémon-themed action game in the browser. If you already like survivor games with automatic attacks and growing waves, Poke Survivor follows the same formula with Pokémon-inspired starters. If you have never tried the genre, Poke Survivor is an easy first pick, and short runs make it easy to play in a few minutes.
