Time Shift Drifters
History took a wrong turn. You took everything that wasn't nailed down.
COMING SOON TO STEAMA free-to-play, top-down multiplayer brawler set in a warped medieval past. Fight rival drifters, survive the undead, and loot everything that isn't bolted to the floor.
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.


Five ways to ruin a friendship.

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

Survive the undead together
Team up online or on the couch-adjacent LAN to hold back relentless waves of zombies. It's the one time you'll want your friends nearby.

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.

Dress your drifter
Pick your hairstyle, hair color, skin color, gender and wardrobe. Look your best while losing everything.

Every hit matters
WASD to move, cursor to aim. Land skill shots, dodge projectiles and use the environment to turn a losing fight around.
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.
IN DEVELOPMENT // DETAILS MAY CHANGE
The locals. Mostly harmless.
A town full of people with opinions, side jobs and very little patience for naked strangers.
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.
