Our take on Hero of Not Our Time
The focus on short, direct combat sessions leaves less room for a broader adventure structure. Weapon assembly, blood-based spell creation, and electronic implants add variety within the fighting system, while the dungeon-clearing format keeps the overall design narrow.
What is Hero of Not Our Time?
A 2D, top-down action game set in neo-noir dungeons.
Players search for an exit while fighting monsters with weapons and magic, clearing locations one after another. Players can assemble unique weapons with varied details and no stated customization restrictions. Magic spells are created using blood; spiritism and rituals can heal and increase strength. Electronic implants, including chips connected to the character's skull, provide gameplay improvements. New enemies appear as players progress, and difficulty increases over time. The violent combat is accompanied by energy EDM in synthwave and darksynth styles. The game pitches a short session format: log in, fight, and log out.
