- Action players who want historical settings mixed with deliberately fictional powers
Skip it if you…

- Players looking for a long-form story with no run-based structure
Our take on Time Survivors
Its defining detail is the collision between recognizable historical figures and deliberately impossible powers, such as Lincoln creating cherry-tree barriers or Nobunaga becoming a flying ninja robot.
What is Time Survivors?
Time Survivors is a roguelike action game where historical figures such as Lincoln, Tesla, Cleopatra, Oda Nobunaga, and Nero battle enemy hordes using unconventional abilities.
Runs move through eras including the Stone Age, Medieval Age, Dark Age, and Ancient Egypt, with secrets, quests, mini bosses, and an end-stage boss. More than 150 weapons, items, Relics, and buffs shape each run. Resources collected during play can unlock and upgrade characters, weapons, and game-mode modifiers through a skill-tree progression system. Sessions are built around casual 20-minute play periods. Sandbox mode provides a separate space for testing builds and practicing against enemies.
