Description
About This Game
The signal came back. Something else answered.
CINDER DIVIDE is a first-person horde survival shooter set in a fog-choked Eastern European exclusion zone. Alone or with up to three friends, you push through abandoned fields, dead woods and rusting industry while the horde closes in from every direction.
Every run is a new expedition
Each expedition is procedurally generated: new terrain, rivers, props and routes every time. Explore, kill for XP and gold, spend it on crates and monuments, then find the evacuation relay. Activate it, survive the transmission, defeat the boss and choose your next route.
4 stages with 2 possible regions each, from the Evacuation Fields to the Industrial Yard
The Zero Complex waits at the end — or loop back for a harder lap and keep your build
The threat grows over time: every minute you spend looting makes the zone more dangerous
3 difficulties: Recon, Incursion and Red Zone
Four survivors, four weapons
Each survivor carries one signature weapon and a Q ability. Start as the Scout and unlock the rest by what you achieve in the zone.
Scout — pistol: precise and steady
Guard — shotgun: six pellets at close range
Marksman — sniper rifle: long range, pierces targets
Support — machine gun: relentless rate of fire
Level up. Build your loadout.
Every level offers three cards: upgrade your weapon or take a new passive. Weapons grow through 12 levels, with major milestones at 3, 6 and 9 and a choice of three specializations at level 12. Passives stack without limit — fire, piercing, explosions, support radios, storm modules and more.
24 passive items across 5 rarities, including boss and anomalous items
12 weapon levels and 3 specializations per weapon
Buy extra passives from field crates and monuments with the gold you earn
Bosses guard every relay
Five distinct bosses hold the way forward, each with its own attacks, from the concrete-fisted Watchman to the final Operator of the Zero Complex. Elite enemies — corrosive, armored, unstable and hunter — join the horde as the zone escalates.
No one survives alone
Play online co-op with up to 4 players through Steam. Invite your friends, share the fight and hold the line together. Fallen players watch their team and return in the next sector.
Free Operation Pass: 100 levels
Just by playing, you earn XP for a free 100-level pass: outfits, weapon finishes, insignias, titles, shelter decor, story files, new passives and abilities.
Irena, field medic — unlocks at level 25
Marek, sapper — unlocks at level 60
Weapon skin crates
Earn crates by playing: clearing relays and winning expeditions. Every crate gives a new first-person weapon finish — no duplicates, 60 finishes to collect. Cosmetics never change damage, range or fire rate.
No microtransactions
Everything is already in the game. Survivors, the pass, crates and every cosmetic are earned by playing.
