- MDM Surprise Release! - 14 June 2025
New Restock Keyword Since the release of Mayor Lindr⚡️a few months ago, two particular effects (Human Shield and Mayor Lindr) have occupied our imaginations. Both of these cards add new ones to the shop, similarly to other tokens generators, but there is a hidden flaw of unlimited copy creation. The act of adding the same card over and over (Rally, Conversion, Dr. Daisy) requires heavy commitment from the beginning of the match, which is risky and boring at the same time. Peak game design...❤️ Packaging this multiplication functionality in a new Restock keyword has opened an enormous number of possibilities. We no longer have to rely on Double and Triple effects, that while fun are a bit clunky, because the total price of cards has to be doubled or tripled. With this solution we can divide the large upfront cost⚡️⚡️⚡️ into a few smaller chunks ⚡️+⚡️+⚡️making the deckbuilding experience…
- Hybrid Cards + Sister Senn Release! - 26 April 2025
Hybrid cards were in our plans since the very beginning of the game, awaiting their movement alongside Sister Senn. We are very happy to finally awaken them from deep slumber. While at first glance the new card type might seem underpowered, it absolutely makes up for it with their extra versatility, DOUBLING the possibilites!!! 🖤❤️💜💙 How do they work!? It's very simple and elegant design! Players can purchase Hybrid cards by dragging them to either top side of the screen (as Invade card for enemy) or to the bottom side (as Basic card for their own deck) This truly innovative change will be a permanent feature that allows us to pack more SUR5☢️ into SUR5☢️ Sister Senn Release Guide Sister Senn can be unlocked for 4320 🟨 credits or 825 💎 crystals. Cards she brings to the bood stained table works very well on their own, but are most efficient when paired with other Life Gain ❤️ Surviv…
- Braindead Release! - 29 March 2025
Third month - third release! Braindead is waiting for you to be unlocked! This Expert Tier character (4320 🟨 credits) with Economy-Unity traits breathe fresh garbage air to the game, unlocking potential of many waste combos that were previously not possible🔥🔥🔥 Substituting missing brain tissue with social-media based hardware was partially successful. Braindead was alive, but his mind could be easily influenced by populist viewpoints. The battle against Lindr tyranny not only left him physically scarred, but also replaced his virtues with loose morals. Braindead🧠 speciality is generating and utilizing high amounts of waste. His ability may not look like much, but when timed correctly it can provide exactly what you need for the combo. All trash is welcome thanks to the mid to late game effect of Segregation♻️ When facing Scavenger its removal should be absolutely prioritized. While…
- Quick Start Bundle - 14 March 2025
Dear Rebeliants❤️ We have just released a new special item called Quick Start Bundle, dedicated to both new and advanced players who would like to speed up their SUR5☢️ progression; immediately unlocking thousands of exciting Survivor combinations and synergies to explore! Instant access to almost all cards also gives more strategic options to compete during Brawl events. Survivors Inside the bundle there 20 Survivors form 4 difficulty categories that will expand hundreds of play styles and counter many problematic situations caused by the enemy.

Beginner 720🟨 Gog & Magog 720🟨 Captain Tadelsh 720🟨 Yamakamzamazashi 720🟨 Darius the Moderator 720🟨 Leeki Wiks 720🟨 G.U.I.D.E Advanced 2160🟨 Forge Master 2160🟨 Father Redwood 2160🟨 Dr. Daisy 2160…
- Phoebe Release + New Defence Type - 14 February 2025
Barrier The small things are often overlooked, but sometimes they are the most important. Barrier mechanic is much simpler than many of you expected! It was designed to resolve the hidden issue with the basic Armor🛡️, but what's the problem? Armor can stop both Direct Damage💀 and Life Loss💔 from invade strategies. We artificially limited this effect to a handful of cards because it can resolve both of the threats leading to unfun "turtling" gameplay. With this new experimental effect we can stop invaders without relying on destroy cards, opening completely new deck archetypes. Armor stops direct Damage Damage ignores Barrier Barrier soaks Chemical Damage Chemical Damage outwaits Armor Phoebe Release We hope you enjoyed your time with the TRX release last month, because we already have the next Survivor for you! For 4320 🟨 credits you can unlock a very versatile character Phoebe, who…

- February Tier Update - 1 February 2025
Since the release of the game from Early Access we are focusing on increasing the production speed of new Survivors. We believe that a greater number of combos will reduce repetitiveness therefore improving players' experience. These characters were waiting for a veeery long time. In the case of TRX it was more than 2 years! Phoebe Spoilers SUR5 :radioactive: next Survivor is Mayor Lindr right hand - Phoebe that can be recognized from Story Missions. Her subordinates nicknamed her "blackhand" because of rotten arms she hides under white gloves. This character is bringing a very important game mechanic for long term health of the game: Barrier. Can you guess how it works before the release? Difficulty System Thanks ShadowFTL for suggesting implementation of the tier system! It's important to acknowledge that all Survivors are equal in power level and it often may be tempting to compare m…
- FREE Survivor TRX - 18 January 2025

In addition you will receive special SCP themed skin to make him look extra cute!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Hundreds feets underground, in a secret waste management facility genetic experiments take place.

After the promotional code expires the SCP skin will be available for purchase in store page. TRX Quick Start TRX can give a strong advantage early on because it can clog the enemy deck. Comeback effect unfavourably stacks cards while triggering small chunks of damage💔. Th…
- SUR5 Release - 5 January 2025
6 years ago our journey with SUR5 ☢️ started. Today we would like to share our 6 reasons why it began in the first place... 6 Reasons Gambling Epidemic Every year more and more games or even other products include lottery elements, loot boxes or boosters. Even when you buy pasta in a store there is a chance to win a luxury cooker. This is not how we remember the world. It became a new norm that prays on the compulsive behaviours of the weakest. This false sense of control creates society that "hopes" something will change their lives instead of taking action. Economic Crisis "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer". A story as old as the world, but taken to the extreme in 2025. By no means we are not opposed to accumulating wealth, but extracting every penny in order to satisfy insatiable investors has gone too far. Our small game made by just 2 people is an inexpensive refuge for…
- New Year Update - 30 December 2024
Weekly Quests Today we are releasing the long awaited Weekly Quests system with a goal of improving Rebelliants experience! Some of them are very easy and will be completed almost automatically. Some will require a hefty amount of grind! There are huge number of new customizable options, way too many to be listed that can be found randomly. The system rotates every week (as expected) and hopefully will make your adventure a bit more pleasurable. We can't wait to hear your opinions! QoL and Bug Fixes Added new texts for Tome of Brilliance, Tome of Justice and Tome of Warfare. Added 6 new descriptions to all Waste Rewerses. Fixed error where the Trample card was showing 2 energy instead of 3. Added tons of new items for the Weekly Quests experience. Fixed announcer volume adjustments error. Fixed bug where information about "time running out" was displayed at the end screen. Improved scal…
- Level Cap Increased to 50! - 14 December 2024
Nathan Williams - Current Master of SUR5 We would like once again to congratulate to🏆Nathan Williams 🏆 for defeating all the competitors during last weekend Classic Brawl (7-8.12.2024). We really appreciate everyone who attended and their hard work put into creating this amazing community. Hope we can grow much larger, but it will happen faster with your support! Share the news, follow and like SUR5☢️profiles so we can create a big home for everyone! ❤️ Twitter Instagram Facebook Reddit Youtube Announcer Update Many players have already heard SUR5☢️newest "angelic voice" narrator 🤣🤣🤣 With this change we wanted to make the game experience more rewarding, because we often take for granted how difficult understanding and executing all the high-end combo is. Safeguard Wildcard Accumulating a lot of debt makes you think about selling your organs and permanently ruining your health... We…
- SUR5 Classic Brawl Tournament! - 26 November 2024
We would like to invite you to play in the upcoming SUR5 Classic Brawl Tournament. If you are new to this game mode and have not participated before don't worry! Winning games is actually not the most important thing, because Credits and valuable Atomic Coins can be obtained just by simply participating and enjoying a few games. No pressure needed! First Place Rewards 5 x Atomic Coin 2000 x Credits Brawl Trophy Dark Ages Gog & Magog Skin Western Stickers Master of SUR5 Title and eternal glory We can't wait to see what strategies players will come up with using our latest survivors: Werwent and General Nur ad-Din. Both of these characters use highly reactive gameplay that reward careful observation and tempo control therefore increasing game interactivity (as intended). There is also one t Thanks for reading and see you in the game! Team SUR5
- General Nur ad-Din Release - 16 November 2024
From time to time we get some interesting comments and our posts are often deleted. We welcome all constructive criticism and reasonable opinions. It's important to remind ourselves where unnecessary censorship can lead: biased worldview, lack of empathy towards other perspectives and ultimately hatred... While SUR5 is far from the perfect game to discuss difficult topics other companies often avoid them under the pressure of monetary gains. Freedom of speech is a core value and without it there will never be justice. Now let's have some fun with our most controversial Survivor (yet) General Nur ad-Din!!! General Nur ad-Din Guide Assassination attempt obliterated half of General Nur ad-Din's body, but didn’t break his will to survive. Encased in a bulletproof glass coffin his undead remains still continue to give orders to the army. Promising to his people total extermination of all pes…
- World War III Update - 18 October 2024
Another barrage of Mini-Nukes launched by superpowers has just begun… Air begins to fill with mind-numbing crystal dust from constant bombardment making it seem like a fever dream. Even the deadening sound of explosions can’t end this nightmare. The winner can be only one… 18-20 October 2024 we are launching a SUR5 new event called Battle Rage! After the game's release it will be repeated once every two months so there will be plenty of chances to gather all the rewards. This is a main source of Ashes of Destruction that can be crafted into Rods of Destruction. New type of item called "Molds" has been added in this update. Functionally they work almost the same as Blueprints, but these slabs can be used an unlimited amount of times. This change was made to improve players' experience by removing repeated farming of the same plans (you still need to get crafting materials!) Blueprints wi…
- Purchase Suggestions - 31 August 2024
Purchase Suggestions Will this remove all decision making skill from SUR5 changing it into hopelessly brain dead gameplay for the mass audience? No, the system doesn't use cutting-edge, multi-layered neural network artificial intelligence to guide your life choices. Instead it uses a weighted algorithm that will help new players with their first deck building experience. We are well aware that knowing all SUR5 cards from the beginning is a challenging task and this functionality should help in learning them all! The suggestions change over time, prioritizing economy in early stages and damaging in late game. Cards are are now grouped under five tooltips: Damage - this tag suggests purchasing cards that can deal damage (normally or through combo). Defense - describes cards that can help with managing direct damage or invade damage. Economy - prioritizes energy and destroys effects. Trash…
- Werwent Release - 25 August 2024
Werwent Local stories say that deep in the forest shadows lives a treelike cryptid nicknamed Werwent. They claim that the beast escaped from a nearby botanical laboratory. No one knows the truth, but one is for sure: whatever haunts people during the night does it for its own twisted pleasure… Waste combos are the bread and butter of SUR5 game design. This integral part is definitely not going anywhere and the number of possible combinations is still increasing at exponential rate. While we want to promote creativity as much as we can, we would like to provide some counter measures to stop the most broken playstyles that can deal 7+ damage every turn! This is how Werewent was born with its hallmark card - Regenerate. It's definitely not the easiest to use, but it can counter crazy combos two times per game. We believe that this universal Survivor with expensive late game cards can provi…
- Major Update - 4 August 2024
Story Missions In this big update we have released 5 new story missions we were working on hard during last months. They feature new characters (some of them may become playable!), conclusion to the story arc, difficult challenges, multitude of new cards, unique rewards and more! We hope that you will enjoy our world-building efforts! Please let us know how you liked the experience on social media or Discord. We have a lot of things prepared for you so stay tuned! Werwent Spoilers Human-tree hybrid Werwent is lurking deep in the forest shadows, watching unsuspecting victims every step. Witness testimonies who survived the attack state that no weapon was able to harm the beast... 🕵️ 🐾 🌙 Upon further investigation it seems that this malicious beast haunts nearby areas and torments locals for no other reason than its own cruel entertainment. ☠️ ☠️ ☠️ Werwent is our next playable survivo…
- Leaderboards Update - 14 July 2024
Dear rebeliants! We have just released a new update that contains an important feature - Leaderboards. It's a list that summarizes players' progress as they reach higher levels of enlightenment, but it's also a foundation for other systems planned ahead. Our long-term goal is to reward exceptional achievements with special skins, invitations to tournaments and more. Menu can be accessed through the button underneath the player portrait with the number of Total Player Power. Total Player Power The exact formula for Total Player Power is very complex and measures three main aspects: Exploration takes into account mission completions (including difficulties levels), Steam achievements and Tutorial status. Rivalry Power Takes into account participation in Casual Games. Brawl Games and Hall of Fame position. Collecting Power Takes into account all kinds of unlockable things like Survivors, W…
- Scavenge Market - 8 June 2024
Symbol Renaming Hello players! As you might have seen in the announcements all over our social media we decided to rename Symbols to a more appropriate keyword: Waste. In the upcoming updates we will be slowly replacing all references to the new name. We feel that it's much more appropriate to the SUR5 overall brand and helps to explain why cards leave things behind them. Unit💛 Plastic used for packaging of food Action💚 Glass of shattered windows at the time of riots Event🤍 Wood destroyed during forest clearing Structure💙 Concrete rubble of demolished buildings Vehicle💜 Rubber from used car tires. Item🧡 Metal scraps of manufactured tools Scavenge Market Next weekend (15-16 June 2024) we are launching an event called Scavenge Market for the first time. It was created to help players exchange surplus items for something more useful. This event is intended to be recurring once every…
- Double Modificator Brawl - 15 May 2024
Double Brawl 25-26 May 2024 17:00 CET we are launching our first Double Brawl. Yes, two modificators at once! This is only a fraction of power that the SUR5 engine possesses. During this event you will not lose any ELO ranking and will play with fan-favourite cataclysm: Tremors! We also decided to reduce the number of games that are required to obtain participation prizes. Roadmap Update Our team would also like to share a list of our plans for the next 2 months. Our priority is finishing the Story Mission (spoiler cards below!). After that we will be working on a passive Black Market event and releasing a wild-tree-monkey-mutant-guardian called Werwent that will support life gain archetype. In mission number 5 our protagonist Vex has been captured by sadistic vampire Sister Senn (changed from Blood Agent). It is up to Pepper to get her back by gathering people of Moggatro and defeating…
