About Flock of the Seraphim
Flock of the Seraphim is a horde‑survival roguelite where you face waves of demons that become stronger over time. You level up, collect loot, and recruit gun‑wielding angels to keep pace with the growing threat.
Runs finish quickly—about ten minutes to the boss—while higher difficulties extend the session. Earned currency can be spent between runs to upgrade holy power and angels, and unlocked angels remain available for future attempts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Core Gameplay Loop
Each run pits you against successive demon hordes that increase in power as the match progresses. Survival depends on leveling, gathering loot, and adding new angels to your squad, creating a loop of fight‑grow‑fight that repeats until the boss appears.
The design encourages short sessions: a typical run reaches the boss in ten minutes, though selecting a higher difficulty lengthens the encounter. This pacing supports repeated attempts and gradual mastery of enemy patterns.
- Track how enemy strength rises and adjust your angel lineup before the next wave.
- Use the brief run length to test different angel combinations without long time commitments.

Angel Units and Weapons
The game offers unique, upgradeable angels that wield a range of weapons such as bows, rifles, and RPGs. Each angel provides a passive ability and stat growth that can improve fire rate, reload speed, damage, pierce, or health recovery.
More than twenty weapon‑type angels can be unlocked, and their designs are customizable. Once acquired, angels persist after a run, allowing you to build a lasting roster that can be strengthened over multiple attempts.
- Compare passive abilities to discover synergies between angels.
- Experiment with different weapon types to see how fire rate and damage affect wave clearance.

Run Length and Difficulty Scaling
A base‑difficulty run typically ends at the boss after ten minutes. Choosing a higher difficulty extends the run, presenting longer waves and tougher enemies, which naturally lengthens the overall session.
Higher difficulty extends the run with tougher enemies, giving you more time to gather loot and currency for later upgrades.
- Start on the base difficulty to learn enemy behavior before increasing the challenge.
- Observe how longer runs affect the quantity of loot and currency collected.

Meta Progression and Currency
During each run you collect a currency that can be spent outside the crusade. This currency is used to strengthen holy power and to upgrade angels, influencing your starting strength for future runs.
Meta upgrades persist across attempts, meaning each new run can begin with a higher baseline of power and a more capable angel roster, reinforcing the roguelite progression loop.
- Balance spending between overall holy power and individual angel upgrades to see which yields better performance.
- Prioritize upgrades that affect multiple angels for broader impact on subsequent runs.

Platform Features and Support
Flock of the Seraphim runs on Windows and includes full controller support, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Steam Leaderboards, and Family Sharing. The game is single‑player only, focusing on solo progression.
These features provide ways to track progress, compare performance with others via leaderboards, and share the game with family members, while controller support offers an alternative input method.
- Check the leaderboards to gauge how your run times compare to other players.
- If you prefer a gamepad, use the full controller support to navigate menus and control angels.
