Time Walker Dark World is a roguelike auto-battler with strategic combat. Players will need to adjust their formations, plan their resources, acquire loot, and upgrade skills to defeat formidable enemies and vicious bosses.
The core gameplay loop revolves around assembling a team of four unique "Time Walkers" and unleashing their diverse abilities in dynamic battles against formidable enemies and bosses. Players must carefully consider their team composition, skill synergies, and hero positioning to emerge victorious.
One of the game's standout features is its flexible character customization system. Players have access to over 40 unique skills that they can freely combine across their four-hero team, without any class restrictions. This allows them to experiment with a wide variety of build possibilities, creating their own personalized Time Walkers. The ability to merge and reforge abilities further deepens the customization and progression systems.
The strategic depth stems from the need to manage resources, plan formations, and adapt to the ever-changing enemy encounters. Each run presents new challenges, forcing players to adjust their tactics and skill combinations to overcome the formidable foes. The game's roguelike elements, such as procedurally generated levels and boss battles, contribute to the high replayability, as every run feels unique.
As players progress, they unlock a variety of new heroes, abilities, and meta-progression options, including advanced heroes with unique traits and powerful EX abilities formed by merging two skills. These unlocks and upgrades provide a sense of meaningful progression, encouraging players to continue exploring and experimenting with different build strategies.
