Warhammer Survivors Out Now on XBOX Game Pass! Defeat the Gloomspite Gitz With These Tips

Big news – Warhammer Survivors is out now! 

If this is your first time hearing about Warhammer Survivors, buckle in for addictive bullet-heaven survivor gameplay set across the battlefields of the 41st Millennium and the Mortal Realms. You might know us, Auroch Digital, from our other Warhammer game, Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun. We’ve teamed up with poncle and Warhammer to create an officially licensed Warhammer Survivors. 

Following the green theme of our previous entry, we’ve prepared a primer for you to take on the fungus-festooned Gloomspite Gitz! 

Who are the Gloomspite Gitz? 

The Gloomspite Gitz are a rabble of different cave-dwelling grots that worship the ‘Bad Moon’, a deity they believe will bring about the Everdank, an era of perpetual twilight. This calamitous cohort of crazed Gitz includes several enemy types, each with their own unique attacks and movement patterns you’ll need to learn to have any chance of survival! 

Prepare for lots of Gitz… 

Moonclan Stabbas are the foot soldiers of the Gloomspite Gitz, swarming the battlefield in tremendous numbers, stabbing wildly at everything in their path. Moonclan Stabbas try to overwhelm with sheer number of bodies and sharp, pointy objects – and while they may not be the scariest, look out for the company they keep… 

…And the stampeding forces of the Squigalanche! 

Squig Hoppers are grots that have bravely decided to mount feral Squigs and have somehow survived the process. These enemies bounce across the battlefield in unpredictable movements due to the nature of their wild mounts, and their attack damage will be bolstered by any nearby Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig who – you guessed it – also moves unpredictably! 

Boinggrot Bounders, on the other hand, are veteran Squig-riders who have survived at least one battle (the life expectancy of a grot is low). For their prowess, they’ve been rewarded with lances, charging with precision toward the player.  

Stampeding at the head of this Squigalanche are the wild and gargantuan Mangler Squigs. These two boisterous balls of fury are so ravenous they’ve been chained together. The beasts rampage across the screen, pulled taut by the chain that binds them together. Watch out for both the teeth of Mangler Squig and the chain as each can damage the player. Mangler Squigs always come in pairs, but when one dies, the remaining giant Squig becomes frenzied – deadlier than ever before! 

Resilient, lumbering Troggoth allies 

If you can survive the pointy blades of the Gitz and the sharp teeth of the Squigs, then you may encounter an even greater threat… Troggoths! 

Rockgut Troggoths lumber toward the player, and while they may be slow, they’re tough and have regeneration properties, making them tricky to bring down. Our recommendation? Get yourself a pair of Maleneth’s Poisoned Daggers and whittle them down from afar. 

Should you survive all that, then we’ve got news for you: it doesn’t get better! 

Beware the Troggoth King 

Trugg the Troggoth King is the mightiest of all troggoths, a towering mass of strength with an ill temper. He carries an arcane keystone of ancient design on his back which unleashes unpredictable bursts of elemental magic… 

If you somehow manage to be strong enough to face this foe, he’ll begin the fight by swiping at you with his humungous Ironshell Club, which creates wide, telegraphed impact zones. If you’re hit, you’ll be sent flying. Trugg. You’ll also have to contend with that keystone of his, avoiding wild barrages of elemental projectiles. Getting hit by one of these stray projectiles will inflict your Survivor with negative status effects such as burning, poisoning, or bleeding. 

As an Extremis-level threat, not just anyone, or any weapon, will be able to take down the Troggoth King. You’ll have to discover what his weakness is or face certain death! 

If you want to see all of this (and more!) in action, check out the latest trailer now! 

We’ve had great fun creating the sprites and animations of the fungus-addled Gloomspite Gitz. Warhammer Survivors has been a passion project for us, and we can’t wait to get the game into your hands!
