Survivor Squad: Gauntlets
A tidy line-of-sight tactics roguelike with a level editor, undone by gauntlet runs that recycle the same decisions well before the trap layouts run out.
GamerScout Verdict
Worth it for tactics fans who want short line-of-sight puzzles and will actually dig into Workshop maps once the base runs dry.
Compare Prices(3 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Survivor Squad: Gauntlets
The store page promises tactical squad runs where vision cones decide everything, and for the first few hours that promise holds up exactly. Line of sight is genuinely the core system here, not a garnish: your four survivors only shoot what they can see, so the real decisions are angles, doorway pivots and when to burn the pause button to re-issue orders before something rounds a corner. Real-time with pause suits it, permadeath gives each order weight, and the short-session structure means a run fits in a lunch break. Endless Loop Studios kept the systems legible, which is rare in top-down tactics. Where reality diverges is depth over time. The gauntlet format hands you new trap layouts but not new problems to solve, so by run fifteen your build order is fixed and the AI is not clever enough to punish it. The Workshop level editor is the honest fix, and the community maps are why the 75% positive score is fair rather than generous. Treat it as a 15-hour tactics puzzler with a mod tail, not a campaign, and it delivers.
