HUDDLE BATTLE key art

Survive the swarm.
Summon your huddle.

A fast-paced survivors-like where you weave through swarms, harvest souls from the fallen, and channel them into ghost allies who fight at your side. Merge units. Reshape the next wave with sigils. Lock in or be vanquished.

What makes it tick

Five systems. One brutal loop.

Every kill feeds the next summon. Every summon shifts the fight. Every sigil rewrites what comes next.

⚔️

Relentless Swarm Combat

Hundreds of enemies at once. Positioning is everything. One mistake and they're on top of you.

🔮

Soul-Driven Summoning

Slay enemies, harvest their souls, channel them into the ghosts of allies who fight beside you.

🜨

Ally Merging

Combine units to evolve them into stronger forms. Stack tribes for overwhelming synergies.

Sigil-Based Swarm Control

Reshape the next wave to suit your build — or tempt fate for greater rewards.

🎯

Deep Tactical Builds

Adapt on the fly. Position your huddle carefully when summoning to optimize their strengths.

FAQ

Questions answered.

When does the demo come out?
Targeting summer 2026. Mailing list subscribers get 24-hour early access before it goes live for everyone else.
What platforms?
PC at launch (Steam). Built in Unity 6, so other platforms are technically possible — let us know on Discord what you'd want.
Is this a Vampire Survivors clone?
It shares DNA — bullet-heaven swarm pressure — but the soul harvesting + ghost summoning + ally merging + sigil system make the loop play very differently. Closer to "Vampire Survivors meets a tactical summoner."
Who's making this?
A solo developer based in Longueuil, Quebec, working on this full-time since February 2026 in Unity 6 with PlayMaker. Previously a Technical UX Designer at a game studio — quit to ship this.
