ANVIL is ACTION SQUARE's multiplayer co-op top-down sci-fi roguelike shooter: play as Vault Breakers hunting alien artifacts across galaxies crawling with monsters and powerful bosses, strengthen your Breakers and push further each run, with cross-platform play. AnySquad's LFG posts help ANVIL players find a squad of Vault Breakers.
ANVIL's bosses and deeper galaxies are built for a co-op squad whose Breakers complement each other. Random parties pick the same role and fall apart; a team that plans its Breakers gets further every run.
ANVIL is developed and published by ACTION SQUARE. It has been on Steam since 2021. Multiplayer listed on Steam: online co-op and cross-platform play. 61% of its 1,898 Steam reviews are positive. It is Playable on Steam Deck.
A duo is the easiest way to play ANVIL with someone better than a random fill — one person you can actually talk to. For a full squad, post the slots you still need: a post that says what it is missing gets answered faster than a profile that lists what you play.
ANVIL posts on AnySquad are tagged by platform, so every post you see is one you can play with.
Say how many players you need, when you play, and the one thing you care about — a mic, a rank, a region or just no raging. Leave out the rest: a short post gets answered, a list of requirements gets scrolled past. Once your group is set, close the post.
