What is Azeroth Survivors?

⚔️ Auto-cast combat

Your abilities fire themselves at the horde. You control movement — wide circles, tight lanes, and never getting cornered. Easy to learn, hard to master.

🃏 Choose every upgrade

Each level-up offers a choice: a new ability, an upgrade to one you own, or a passive like Blessing of Might (+10% damage). Six actives and six passives max — choose a build.

⏰ The boss clock

Each zone runs its own boss clock. The original's Elwynn Forest: 3:00 Hogger, 6:00 Mother Fang, 9:00 Rhahk’Zor, 12:00 Mr. Smite — final Edwin VanCleef 16:00 (verified on v0.123.0). The rebuild's battlegrounds run six bosses on a 2:15 cadence instead.

Pick your class

Every class starts with a unique attack and unlocks a signature mobility spell at level 5 (cast with F). Full ability tables and build tips in each guide.

How a run works

1 · Pick a hero and a zone

Class, race and battleground — from Elwynn Forest to Naxxramas. The original unlocks 13 zones in a chain; each rebuild battleground has its own monster roster and six bosses.

2 · Move — your spells auto-cast

WASD to move, that's the whole job. Abilities fire at the nearest threats on their own cooldowns.

3 · Level up, shape your build

XP gems drop from kills. Every level offers upgrade cards — take new abilities or deepen the ones you have (up to level 8).

4 · Beat the clock and the bosses

Two clocks: the rebuild's zones put a boss every 2:15 (2:15 through 13:30, win at 15:00); the original's Elwynn runs 3:00 / 6:00 / 9:00 / 12:00 with a 16:00 finale.

Frequently asked questions

What is Azeroth Survivors?
A free, fan-made roguelite inspired by Vampire Survivors, set in a lovingly recreated classic Warcraft world. Your character attacks automatically — you focus on movement, positioning and choosing upgrades. Runs are short zone defenses: the original game unlocks 13 zones in a chain, and the starter zone's boss clock ends with a 16:00 finale.
Is Azeroth Survivors free?
Yes — the browser version is completely free, and so is the Windows build. The game is a fan project by Aethus; you should never pay for it or enter your Blizzard account credentials anywhere to play it.
Do I need to download anything?
No. The game runs directly in a WebGPU-capable browser (current Chrome, Edge or Safari). A Windows download also exists if you prefer a native build or the browser version is rate-limited.
Which classes can I play?
Nine: Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Shaman, Mage, Warlock and Druid. Each starts with its own signature attack and unlocks a unique mobility spell at level 5. See our class guides for ability tables and build tips.
How long is a run and how do I win?
It depends on the version. The community rebuild (the data on our maps and class pages): survive to 15:00, a boss every 2:15 — six per run — with the horde growing from about 14 enemies to 220. The original game (verified on v0.123.0): Elwynn Forest runs 3:00 Hogger, 6:00 Mother Fang, 9:00 Rhahk’Zor, 12:00 Mr. Smite — final Edwin VanCleef 16:00, and 12 more zones unlock after it.
Is this game affiliated with Blizzard?
No. Azeroth Survivors is a fan-made game by Aethus — not affiliated with or endorsed by Blizzard Entertainment. This guide site is independent too, and hosts no game files.
How is Azeroth Survivors different from Vampire Survivors?
Same genre, different games. Vampire Survivors is a paid Steam hit in its own dark-fantasy universe; Azeroth Survivors is a free fan-made browser game set in a classic Warcraft-inspired world. It gives you nine WoW-style classes with signature spells and mobility casts, a zone-boss gauntlet with permanent boss-dropped gear, and talent points that persist between runs.
Can I play Azeroth Survivors on mobile?
Partly — and mind the controls. Android: Chrome 121+ ships WebGPU on many recent devices, and flagship phones run it well. iOS: recent Safari supports WebGPU, but performance varies heavily by device. The game expects keyboard movement (WASD), so desktop Chrome, Edge or Safari remains the reliable path; if a mobile run stutters, the Windows build is the smoother option. Full compatibility matrix in our browser support guide.
Does Azeroth Survivors save my progress?
Yes, on the copy you are playing. The browser keeps that progress in that browser. The Windows build keeps it on that Windows copy; Export Save writes a file into that copy’s Saves folder, and that file is the current progress, not the hourly backup list. It does not follow you to another browser or computer until you import that file on the other copy. Importing replaces all progress there. Bosses still drop permanent class gear (60% roll per piece, tracked in the Armory), and runs still pay talent points. The steps are on the save backup page.
Is Azeroth Survivors multiplayer?
Yes — there is online co-op. On the main menu, pick Co-op ("Play with friends"): you can host a room, join by code, or browse public lobbies, and parties hold up to 5 players. Everyone in the party enters the zone together, and the lobby marks whether a room is password-protected. Zone unlocks are tracked per class on your account — a lobby for a zone you have not unlocked with that class shows a note. Solo play is unchanged: hit Enter and run alone. (Verified on v0.123.0.)
Why does it say "Too many people are playing"?
The game’s free server has a daily capacity limit, and when it is hit the game shows that message instead of loading. Wait a while and reload, or use the Windows build, which skips browser rate limits entirely. The Discord server is the best place to catch server status.
Why do I see a black screen?
Almost always a WebGPU issue. The game needs a current Chrome, Edge or Safari — older browsers and most mobile browsers cannot render it yet. Update your browser, try another one from that list, or work through our browser support guide for fixes.
