Games like Megabonk, sorted by how they play
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, Vampire Survivors and Brotato are the closest picks after Megabonk. Below they are split into 3D runs and classic top-down runs, with a note on phones and Roam horde games at the end.
What Megabonk is
Megabonk is a 3D survivors-like by solo developer vedinad. It came out on Steam on September 18, 2025, and sold over a million copies in about two weeks. In October 2025 it peaked at more than 117,000 players at once on Steam.
You run, jump and slide around a 3D map while your weapons fire on their own. Kill enemies, grab XP, pick an upgrade each level, open chests and survive until the boss shows up. The 3D movement is the twist: you can get above a crowd instead of only walking away from it. Look for that mix of auto-attacks and active movement in anything you play next.
Runs with a 3D or near-3D view
- Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Funday Games' spin-off of the co-op shooter. You play a dwarf who mines through cave walls while bugs pour in. It left early access in September 2025, on PC and Xbox.
- Risk of Rain 2. Hopoo Games' 2020 third-person roguelike. Items stack into silly builds and the enemy count climbs the longer you stay, so the pressure feels close to Megabonk.
Classic top-down runs
- Vampire Survivors. poncle's 2022 hit that started the genre. One button: move. Free on phones, paid on PC and consoles.
- Brotato. Blobfish's 2023 game: a potato with up to six weapons survives short waves and shops between them. Out for PC, Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and phones.
- Halls of Torment. Chasing Carrots' survivors-like with a late-90s look and slower, heavier fights.
- Survivor.io. Habby's mobile take with a zombie city setting and short chapters.
Megabonk on the phone, and Roam picks
Megabonk has no official phone version; it is a PC game. On iPhone, Vampire Survivors and Brotato are the official picks. Roam also has horde games built around the same loop:
- Swarm Survivors (Roam). Keep moving. Your guns do the rest.
- Hold the Hour (Roam). A Vampire Survivors-like where the horde keeps coming and you hold on.
- Crowd Crusher (Roam). A portal keeps spitting goblins and you keep stomping them.
- Kite or Die (Roam). A top-down survival shooter. Stop and the swarm gets you.
- Rotten Rounds (Roam). Twelve waves of zombies around one camp.
