What players say
Fun little game, very good for a relaxed pass time. I wish there were more weapons, combinations, and characters, but hopefully that will come in time.

Here is a list of random little things I found in the first hour that set this game apart from most generic 'Vampire Survivor' clones. Each character has a trigger ability which can be upgraded down two paths. These abilities can sometimes vastly alter runs. For instance one of my characters initially threw a bomb every 60 seconds. Fully upgraded the cooldown was reduced to 20ish seconds and the explosion generated...
While the initial progression of Time Survivors can be fun, the later portions of it feel tedious. All of the characters are 'unique' (one is straight up downgraded as you upgrade them) and that leads to some rough balancing situations where some situations you simply can't win unless you were lucky enough to find the right weapon/upgrade. Unique idea but not well executed in my opinion.
