What is Pokemon Survivor Burst?
Pokemon Survivor Burst is a free fan-made Pokémon game by ClessioTV, played in the Vampire Survivors style. The game is a separate download, not a browser game. This page covers what it is, where to find it, and how it differs from Poke Survivor, which you can play on this site right now.
Who made it and what is it built with?
ClessioTV made Pokemon Survivor Burst, a free, non-commercial, unofficial Pokémon fan game first released on August 23, 2026. Its full name is Pokémon Survivor Burst, with an accent. People also type Pokemon Survivors Burst, and both names mean the same game.
The game is built with RPG Maker XP and Pokémon Essentials. It runs as a standalone app, so it needs no base ROM and it is not a ROM hack.
How does Pokemon Survivor Burst play?
You pick one Pokémon and steer it yourself while its attacks fire on their own. The game has you dodge enemies, collect experience, and choose a new attack or passive skill whenever you level up. Your Pokémon can evolve in the middle of a run, and each one has its own Burst Attack, a signature big move.
The game adds several systems on top of that loop: Passive Skills, Multiple Attacks, a Form System, Bonus Reroll and Ban for upgrade choices, a Kecleon Shop for permanent upgrades, an online leaderboard, and Star Piece achievements. You unlock more Pokémon by finishing set challenges. Classic Mode asks you to survive 15 minutes, and Rush Mode arrived in version 2.0.
How big is the game?
A developer post from October 2026 lists more than 88 playable Pokémon in the game. It launched with 25 Pokémon from generations 1 to 3. Version 9.0 added generation 9 Pokémon, new bosses, equipment, and Seasonal Challenge Mode.
The game updates often, and it changed many times in its first month. Treat any roster number as a snapshot that will move with the next version.
Where can you get Pokemon Survivor Burst?
Get the game from its developer, not from this site. This site has no download for it and cannot run it in the browser. Look for ClessioTV's release posts on Eevee Expo and PokéCommunity, or the itch.io page, and download only from those.
The game targets Windows and macOS. The macOS version may need extra tools such as Wine. A mobile version exists, but the developer says it is not fully tested and may not work on every device. Handhelds that run emulators, such as Anbernic devices, cannot run it.
Pokemon Survivor Burst vs Poke Survivor
The two games share the same survive-and-level-up idea, yet they are different games. Poke Survivor runs in your browser at pokesurvivor.com, and this site embeds it. The other is a download you set up yourself.
