Create Chaos: Pattern Survivors – Unleash creativity in a unique bullet hell roguelite
Add to your wishlist and start crafting your own pattern of survival.

Pattern Survivors: Bullet Hell (Roguelike) is a dynamic action game where you take control of your cosmic tower and design attack patterns yourself to stop hordes of enemies! This is not another Vampire Survivors clone – this is a bullet hell where YOU create the chaos.
The Patterns appeared suddenly. They were not alien, they were not ours… they were fundamental.
As the Tower Operator, you must adapt, create, and survive waves of cosmic threats using the most powerful weapon: imagination.
In Pattern Survivors you don’t just play a bullet hell – you design it. Set emitters, modify angles, speeds, rotations, and spread to create your own bullet formations. Every wave is a test of creativity and reflexes.
Don’t wait, don’t read tutorials – just play!
1️⃣ Click New Game -> Quick Run -> add an emitter (or choose a ready preset)
2️⃣ Configure the emitter (optional)
3️⃣ Start the wave, upgrade your tower, and watch the chaos unfold
Done – from start to battle in less than 5 seconds! And the best players will cut that time down to 2–3 seconds!
If you’re not interested in the campaign, you can pick another mode and play the campaign later – or the other way around, play the campaign first and then the other modes. Or maybe all at once?
Campaign – Action-packed storyline with dialogue choices, main and side missions, 14 unique bosses, diverse enemies, and the mystery of the Patterns to uncover.
Survival – Endless waves, increasing difficulty, and global leaderboards. You start with no abilities – how long will you survive?
Sandbox – Full freedom, test builds, create experimental patterns, and have fun with God Mode.
Quick Run – Intense action for a short 10–20 minute session, global leaderboards, perfect if you’re not into the campaign but want a quick game.
Tower Defense – A classic tower defense mode with progressive difficulty. Enemies move along set paths, and each round becomes increasingly intense. The final stage turns into an endless survival battle. Perfect for fans of traditional tower defense games.

Nice format for a bullet hell/tower defense. Customization is a little overwhelming to begin with but in general it was great! Cant beat it for the price.
One of the most innovative Survivor-likes / Hybrid Tower Defense game on Steam at the moment. This is an absolute blast, the amount of customization allowed is astounding!
A crazy fun game. I'm no shooter but here you just input your defense strategy and let 'er rip. Lots of ways to play and you can jump right in. Thanks Airem
7/10 (Bullet Limit is Not Ideal)
The game is an interesting idea for a roguelike/ tower defense game in space, but the UI during gameplay feels very overwhelming at first glance that you can feel pretty lost with how the game works the first few tries. The game was designed more with the keyboard and mouse in mind and using a gamepad does not feel very intuitive. It felt more confusing than user friendly. The game is more approachable with the mouse from what I have noticed. It has potential to be a fun game, but it needs more polish in my opinion
В начале вроде немного затягивает. Но как только разбираешься с механикой игры, то понимаешь, что это просто пустышка не стоящая твоего времени. Всё проходится однотипно. Не смотря на то что купил, просто лучше удалю с аккаунта, чтобы никто не увидел, что я играл в такой позор.
люблю жанр рогалик но в этой игре хватает много, а так затянуть в начале может но всё слишком однотипно.
