Ally-drafting Roguelike Launches on Steam

Independent developer David Vinokurov is excited to announce the release of Heroes Against Time, a unique turn-based ally-drafting roguelike launching today on Steam.

In Heroes Against Time, the player builds a team to defeat the final boss โ€” navigating across various tiles and powering up before the final confrontation.

Each ally the player comes across has their own effect and synergies, which helps them increase each others stats over bite-sized but challenging runs.

In order to win, players will have to manage their supplies and health carefully while avoiding the fog which slowly closes in on them, turn by turnโ€ฆ

Heroes Against Time is uniquely built to be equally fun when binged and when played in five minute increments – the length of an average run in the game.

This sets it apart from most established roguelikes while keeping the spirit of challenge, intense decision-making and occasional broken build which makes the genre so fun.

The full game release includes three sets of characters; “Heroes”, “Others” and “Evil”, as well as twenty run-changing relics, and multiple tiles which are unlocked as players progress through the game.

Players will also be able to explore three maps with their own unique challenges to navigation and resource management, as well as the last fourth map which combines these features into a lasting formidable finale.

Key features:

  • Quick and challenging runs.
  • Unlock new tiles and alternate color palettes as you progress through the game.
  • Three sets of characters and events, each with their own synergies and combos.
  • Multiple maps with their own challenges and enemies.
  • Handcrafted pixel art.
  • Original chiptune soundtrack by Tieff.
