Void Reaver Where Packing Is Power
Climb a crumbling alien monolith, pack your grid, and let your build do the shooting while you dodge everything else.
Is Void Reaver worth it?
Void Reaver is worth it if…
- you like survivors-like runs where the aiming is automatic and your build does the killing
- you enjoy squeezing gear into a tight grid and hunting adjacency bonuses more than the shooting itself
- you want short, fast sessions that keep offering one more run
- you play games like Brotato or Vampire Survivors and want a packing twist on the formula

Move, dodge, let the guns fire themselves
The controls stay simple: your weapons fire on their own, so your job is movement and survival. That makes for a pure survivors-like loop. You pick a specialist, drop into an arena, and weave through thousands of enemies while your build wipes the screen around you. One moment a blade row shreds whatever closes in, the next an elemental combo erupts across half the arena. Skill here is about positioning and upgrade choices, not aiming, and a run lasts minutes, which makes "one more go" dangerously easy to say.
A puzzle inside the battle
The hook is the inventory. Weapons and artifacts sit on a limited grid, and placement matters: put an elemental weapon next to a melee blade for hybrid damage, or link engineering items to your drones for serious buffs. Duplicates merge into higher rarities with new properties, and in-run resources can expand your bag when it all stops fitting. When a build clicks, it stops being a list of items and becomes an engine. There are over 100 weapons and 200+ artifacts, so every run leaves room to try a different packing scheme.
A crew worth unlocking
Ten characters anchor the build variety, from melee berserkers to drone engineers and long-range snipers. Each one comes with a unique dash, an active ability and a skill tree of passives that define how a run plays. Death is not the end of progress: resources gathered on the tower feed a shared ship tech tree for permanent bonuses, plus per-character upgrades. New specialists unlock through challenges, like pushing armor past a certain number or buying from the shop a hundred times, and the store keeps every run moving with fresh gear to buy.
What about the music?
Can you play it solo?
Yes, it is a singleplayer game entirely. Every run is you against the hordes, with no multiplayer or co-op to arrange, so a session starts the moment you pick a character.
Is the soundtrack any good?
It is a genuine highlight. The OST comes from Nibana, the studio's co-creator, with collaborations including Ajja, Ryanosaurus, Kliment and Lunarave, and all ten tracks are unlockable in-game. A jukebox menu lets you playlist your favourites and curate the music from one level to the next.
What do you actually do in a run?
You survive set waves in hand-tailored arenas with biome-specific events, earning money from kills to buy weapons and gear in the shop. Between fights you rearrange the backpack and merge duplicates. If you want to test a build's limits, an endless mode keeps going past the usual wave count.
Is there a lot to unlock?
Plenty. Beyond the characters, their skill trees and the ship tech tree, there are over 10 quintillion possible build combinations across the weapons and artifacts, so packing puzzles stay fresh for a long time. Fair warning from the numbers: unlocking everything takes many runs.
