Extraction Compass
Games Finder Blog Calendar Player Counts Kord Breach Planner

Find your next extraction game.

No backlog. No black-box algorithm. You set the criteria, the terminal delivers the matches — including a percentage score whenever there’s no exact hit.

How does the filter tool work?

At the top you set hard filters: availability, mode, player mode, pricing model, platform, VR, setting and a maximum entry price. A title has to match every filter you set to show up in the list at all.

The sliders (wipe frequency, skill ceiling, solo friendliness, grind intensity, PvP aggressiveness) are soft preferences. They exclude nothing — they drive the match percentage shown on each card.

Top Match shows the single best fit plus alternatives; the Full List shows every matching title in chronological order, newest first. Reset parameters puts everything back to the start.

What is an extraction shooter?

An extraction shooter (also called extraction survival or "looter extraction") is built around one loop: you enter a dangerous zone with limited gear, secure loot, resources or objectives, and have to get out alive to keep any of it. Die before you extract and your run's inventory is gone – push for one more crate, or leave while you still can?

The range is wide: pure PvE co-op, brutal PvPvE where other players are the real threat, hardcore simulations with recurring wipes like Escape from Tarkov, or relaxed solo roguelikes. It isn't one tidy genre – it's a mechanic that plays out very differently across survival, military, sci-fi, fantasy and horror settings.

How this tool works

Extraction Compass is a discovery tool, not a review aggregator. You set what matters – mode, player mode, platform, entry price, setting – plus sliders for wipe frequency, skill ceiling, solo friendliness, grind intensity and PvP aggressiveness. Every title gets a match percentage, even when nothing is an exact fit.

The ratings for wipe, skill, grind and the rest are assessed editorially by us, not scraped from Steam tags. Steam review scores and live player counts come straight from the official Steam API. Ranking is based only on your criteria – no sponsored placements ahead of a better match.

What's in the database

Playable, announced and discontinued extraction shooters and survival-extraction games for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Mobile and VR – from big names like Escape from Tarkov, Hunt: Showdown 1896, ARC Raiders and Marathon to niche titles and solo-focused roguelikes.

Every entry links to a full page with mode, platforms, price, editorial ratings and current player numbers. Game data is maintained by hand; if a title is missing, tell us via the contact page.
