About Norman Lives
Norman Lives is a 3D survival RPG set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Every death is permanent. Every choice matters. How long can you survive? EXPLORE A LIVING 3D WORLD Venture into an endless, procedurally generated wasteland spanning 8 biomes — from Dense Forest and Suburban Ruins to a scorching Desert, the Seaside, frozen Winter and volcanic hellscapes. Watch day turn to night as you discover fortified survivor villages, hostile rebel camps and abandoned buildings full of loot. The further you go, the more dangerous it gets. DEFEND VILLAGES FROM RAIDS Survivor villages are under constant threat. Enter one and raiders launch a 10-wave assault — from scrap bandits to war machines to hive queens. Fight alongside the villagers and their turrets, survive every wave, and earn the legendary Flame Ring power. CHOOSE YOUR FACTION Rescue trapped survivors and escort them to safety. Ally with survivor camps for shield upgrades and XP boosts — or join the rebels and face the villages' ice and desert warriors. Your choice decides who attacks and who defends. FIGHT TO SURVIVE Battle more than 30 enemy types, including mutant wolves, giant scorpions, mechs, sand worms and blizzard wraiths. Face 8 epic bosses, each with its own multi-phase attacks — from the Sentinel Core's energy barriers to the Sand Pharaoh and the Magma Titan. ARM YOURSELF Wield 33 melee and ranged weapons — from a lead pipe to a plasma sword, from a pistol to the Annihilator — across 5 rarity tiers and 6 damage types. Gather materials and blueprints to craft new weapons, and merge duplicates in the Weapon Lab to forge stronger gear. BUILD YOUR SURVIVOR Level up to unlock dodge rolls, auto-targeting, rapid fire and more. Spend coins in the skill tree on permanent upgrades — starting HP, armor, shields, elemental resistances and growth bonuses that carry across runs. Rescue 8 unique survivors for permanent bonuses like extra loot, less damage taken and passive healing. COMPLETE 42 MISSIONS Follow a story campaign with objectives ranging from boss hunts to biome exploration to weapon mastery. Earn rewards and unlock journal entries that reveal the world's lore. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Team up with 2-4 players in real-time co-op. Browse lobbies, host private games and survive together in the same world. Spectate your teammates after death.
