Time Survivors: Chapter 0

Time Survivors: Chapter 0 is a roguelike bullet-hell game in which you play as historical characters with unique abilities, fight enemy hordes across time and unravel a mystery. Runs last around 20 minutes, with quests and secrets to discover.

Stages and characters

Chapter 0 includes two stages, each with enemies, secrets, mini-bosses and an end-stage boss: The Dark Age and The Stone Age. You can unlock eight characters from across human history, each with a unique ability. For example, Oda Nobunaga can become a flying ninja robot, Abe Lincoln can create defensive barriers made of cherry trees, and Nero can set the battlefield ablaze.

The stages include skeletons in the Medieval Age and Velociraptors and T-Rexes in the Stone Age. Across the game, there are 41 different enemies.

Weapons and progression

Choose from 32 weapons and buffs, and collect from a pool of over 150 weapons, items, Relics and buffs during your runs. The game includes eight Cursed Relics and 35 unlockables.

A tree-based meta-progression system lets you unlock and upgrade characters, weapons, stages and game-mode modifiers using gold and resources collected during runs. You can allocate resources to shape your progression and build, or use Sandbox mode to test builds and train against any enemy.

Game modes

Sandbox mode lets you test builds and practise against enemies. The game also supports casual, quick sessions of around 20 minutes, with quests and secrets to find.
