What is Time Shift Drifters?

Rags, riches, and a lot of rusty knives.

Dropped into a warped medieval world with nothing to your name? Sounds like a skill issue.

Time Shift Drifters is a top-down multiplayer brawler where you start with nothing and fight your way up from penniless warrior to legend. Scavenge the battlefield, gear up, brawl other drifters for scraps and glory, or team up to hold back waves of the undead.

Aim with your mouse, move with WASD, dodge what's coming at your face, and throw a tomato at whatever isn't. Friendship is temporary. That rusty sword is yours.

Until somebody takes it.

Brawl rival drifters

Fast, scrappy fights against other players online or on LAN. Last one standing gets the glory. Everyone else gets a story.

Loot

Scavenge everything

Rusty knives, swords, shields, potions and flying tomatoes. If it's on the ground, it's yours. If it's in someone's hand, it's negotiable.

Skill

Every hit matters

WASD to move, cursor to aim. Land skill shots, dodge projectiles and use the environment to turn a losing fight around.

Horde mode

The First Three Nights

You wake up in the forest with nothing on. By the third night, the undead are at the castle gate. In between, you earn some trousers, earn the guards' respect, and earn enough friends to hold the line.

Who's who

The locals. Mostly harmless.

A town full of people with opinions, side jobs and very little patience for naked strangers.

    Crime and punishment

    The guards remember your face.

    Every crime the guards catch puts Rupals on your head, and it stacks. Escape and the chase ends, but walk back in looking the same and they'll know. Change your hat, find a helm, or pay up by dropping coin at their feet and hoping they count badly.
