  • An update on the status of Runic Survivor - 1 January 2024

    Hi, As many of you probably know, Runic Survivor has been in early access since it's release about a year ago. When I released the game I had plans to expand on it, but shortly after it's release, I suddenly found myself in a new career (Runic was not enough to pay the bills) and a few other life-events happened at the same time, and Runic took a back seat. As time passed, the pressure of not having made any updates for the game started adding up, creating a spiral of anxiety keeping me from working on it. I fully understand the accusations of vapour-ware in the various reviews, but I truly had every intention to update the game with more features. With all that said, I have decided to take the game out of early access. Again, I had hoped to do this along with a large update to the game, but again the anxiety got in the way. I am hoping with this post and the move out of early access I…

  • Update 0.16 - 2 November 2022

    Hello again! This update is yet another small bug-fixing and optimization update. I had originally intended for this update to include new runes, as well as an endless mode, but those inclusions have been pushed to next update. • Summons should now be more consistent in their target selection. • Optimized the summon spell. • Remnants of the Destroyer will no longer kill bosses. • Limited how many enemies can exist at any given time. • Fixed a bug causing brightness and other settings not loading till the Settings menu was opened. • You can now hit Space to unpause after leveling up • Buffed the following runes; - Flash Frost - Former Gift - Large Summon

  • Update 0.15 - Bugfixes - 16 October 2022

    Thanks for the feedback on the last update! On top of the fixes listed below, I implemented a small change in how the code handles the Torch trinket. Hopefully it helps with some of the issues people have been having, but since I still struggle to reproduce that bug on my own setup, I can't guarantee that is has removed the issues. Fixes • Fixed damage numbers not showing up on subsequent rounds. • Gnomes & Gnomeking no longer also benefit from the Mirror Shard • Fixed an issue causing the middle trinket to be difficult to select • Shields can now no longer be reset by re-equipping them. Additionally, the shield will only count towards it's regeneration while equipped. • Fixed exploit allowing players to pick 2 runes on level up rather than 1. • Druidic Staff now works properly.

  • Update 0.14 - Varius bugfixes, new spell colour & accessibility! - 15 October 2022

    Not in my wildest dreams had I imagined that this many people would be playing Runic after just two weeks. The game has gotten to the point where most of the bugs people are experiencing are very situational and often impossible for me to reproduce. I'll do my best to address these issues, but fixes might not actually work, and being a single developer with another full time job, it might occasionally be quite a while between updates. That said, I love all the constructive feedback you guys are giving and I cannot wait to get Runic to a point where I can start focusing more on new content rather than the endless fight against bugs! • Player spells are now a purple-pinkish colour. Hopefully this makes it a bit easier to see what is going on. • The issues people were experiencing with Aura's and the Torch trinket should hopefully be fixed. This is one I struggled to reproduce, so let me k…

  • 2nd Hotfix for Update 0.13 - 7 October 2022

    Fixed the issue with spells breaking after the first run. Also put summons back to there original size. Hopefully the game is back to a playable state again.

  • Hotfix for Update 0.13 - 6 October 2022

    A minor bugfix for some new issues introduced in 0.13 stopping progress after the first boss.

  • Update 0.13 - Toggle Screen Effects & More Optimization - 6 October 2022

    Thank all of you so much for your constant feedback! It is incredibly useful as I constantly battle bugs and poorly optimized code. Hopefully this update will help even more with the immense lag some of you are experiencing. • Added an option to disable the screen effects • Fixed Necromancer's Hand & Mirror Shard persisting through runs. • The Crown now correctly adds 2 gold for each minute survived. • More optimization.

  • Update 0.12 - Optimization and Video Settings - 4 October 2022

    I've looked through the discussions and reviews and fixed some of the more pressing issues. Keep the feedback coming! • Objective arrow is now always displayed infront of enemies • Fixed the damage scaling bug when using the Double Swords • Various optimizations that should hopefully alleviate some lag during late-game • Fixed wrong descriptions on upgraded Movement speed runes. • Added a small menu for adjusting video settings. Will likely get more complex options in the future. • Character hitbox reduced slightly in size

  • First round of fixes and improvements! - 1 October 2022

    Hi! It's great to see people are enjoying the game already. As expected, you have already been busy at work finding issues, so here's the first round of fixes. A proper settings menu and accessibility features are in the works, and will show up in a future update. • Double Swords now correctly double the damage of AoE spells.. • Some minor typos and icon improvements • You can now no-longer overwrite your rune selection by upgrading • Summon spells now pierce enemies correctly • Your character selection is now loaded from your previous selection • Added a small delay to the buttons when levelling up to avoid accidental clicks

Short description

Combine Runes to craft unique spells! Survive the endless hordes of monsters as you work to break the four Runic seals! Runic is a casual horde shooter with rogue-lite elements and a charming retro aesthetic.

About this game

Survive the Onslaught! Fight through hordes of monster to break the seals and defeat the guardians before it is too late! Craft Custom Spells! In this game you do not unlock weapons or skills as you progress, instead, you unlock powerful arcane Runes. Runes can be used to craft spells on the fly and can be changed and modified to your hearts content! Craft a spell shooting fiery bolts that split off into massive explosion every time they light an enemy on fire. Or an aura that knocks any enemy that approaches you back, at least until the hordes of enemies overwhelm you. The only limit is your creativity... and your mana. Unlock new equipment! With every death you get stronger, earning gold that can be used to purchase passive abilities and bonuses to increase your chances next time.. And when you get a hang of it, increase the difficulty and face even stronger foes!

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 3, 2026 to Oct 3, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $2.99
  • Highest observed: $2.99

Runic Survivor's USD price history spans from Oct 3, 2026 to Oct 3, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $2.99, the highest is $2.99, and the first visible tracked price is $2.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Runic Survivor's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99, from Oct 3, 2026 through Oct 3, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99. The latest run records $2.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $2.99
  • Current list price: $2.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Runic Survivor at $2.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
