About Boosted Survivors
Boosted Survivors is a sandbox rogue‑like where each run presents fresh challenges. Players battle successive waves of enemies, collect upgrades, and confront a final boss while customizing every numeric aspect of their hero, weapons, and abilities.
The game offers twelve distinct starting weapons and spells, a large pool of upgrades—including legendary upgrades that add new boosting possibilities—and a global leaderboard that tracks the top survivors. It supports full controller input, DualSense features, and family sharing for single‑player sessions.
01 / THE GUIDE
Boost Mechanic
Boosting lets you increase or decrease any value of your hero, weapons, and abilities, giving you complete freedom to reshape each run. This system applies to the values of your hero, weapons, and abilities, which can be increased or decreased.
The boost mechanic encourages experimentation. Players can create high‑damage, low‑defense builds or ultra‑fast movement with reduced health, making each decision impactful.
- Adjust one stat at a time to see its direct effect before layering additional changes.
- Record the outcome of a boosted weapon versus its unboosted version for later comparison.

Starting Arsenal
The game provides twelve unique starting weapons and spells, offering a variety of playstyles. Each serves as the foundation for your boosted builds.
A large number of upgrades are available for these tools, allowing you to evolve the initial choice throughout a run. Legendary upgrades add new ways to boost your hero, expanding the customization space.
- Try a weapon and a spell early to discover how their boosts interact.
- Note which starting tool feels comfortable before committing to extensive upgrades.

Enemy Waves & Final Boss
Players face an intimidating gauntlet of enemies that grows increasingly challenging, ending with a final boss encounter. Surviving each wave requires strategic boosting and effective use of upgrades.
The wave progression tests the limits of your customized hero, making each stat change critical for advancing. The final boss serves as the ultimate test of your boosted build.
- Prioritize survivability boosts when early waves feel overwhelming.
- Reserve some upgrades for damage boosts to help in later battles.

Leaderboard Competition
A global leaderboard records the highest‑scoring survivors, encouraging players to refine boosting strategies for better scores. Climbing the leaderboard is a secondary objective beyond mere survival.
Because each run is unique, leaderboard positions reflect both skill and creative use of the boost system, rewarding innovative approaches as well as efficient play.
- Review top scores to identify common boosting patterns among leading players.
- Consider run time as a factor; speed can be as valuable as raw damage.
