Survive the Night in This Intense Roguelike
20 Minutes Till Dawn, a pixel-art action roguelike reminiscent of Vampire Survivors, has arrived on mobile after a successful early access stint on Steam. Its free on Jan 3rd, 2024 at Epic. Whether you choose the ad-supported or premium version, you’re in for a tense and satisfying battle against the forces of darkness.
Facing the Endless Horde
Your objective is simple: survive 20 minutes until dawn. You’ll wield one of ten unlockable characters, each with unique abilities, against an ever-growing swarm of Lovecraftian monstrosities. The art style is charmingly minimalist, with greyscale pixel art accented by red highlights on key elements. Despite its simplicity, the enemy designs are distinct and unsettling.
Gameplay That’s Easy to Learn, Hard to Master
Controls are intuitive: a virtual joystick on the left moves your character, and tapping the right side fires your weapon. Auto-aim keeps you focused on the closest threat, but manual aiming is available for tricky situations.
Level Up and Unleash Your Power
Defeating enemies grants experience points, used to unlock Talents that enhance your abilities. These range from increased fire rate and damage to defensive boons like shields and summoned allies. Talents can even combine into powerful Advanced Talents, offering strategic depth.
Unleash Your Inner Hero: Characters and Customization
Between runs, you can spend points on new Characters, Weapons, and Runes. Runes come in two flavors: Sword (offensive) and Shield (defensive), each with four unlockable ranks. You can equip one of each, tailoring your build to your playstyle.
Each character has a unique passive ability and three Exclusive Talents, adding further variety. For example, Shana, the starting character, can reroll her upgrade choices at each level, while Scarlett, the pyromancer, leaves a fiery trail with every third shot.
20 Minutes Well Spent
While 20 Minutes Till Dawn lacks a deep narrative, its gameplay loop is addictive. The simple yet challenging premise keeps you coming back for “just one more run.” Each victory unlocks new content, and even older weapons remain viable, thanks to the diverse upgrade system.
20 Minutes Till Dawn is a thrilling pixel-art roguelike that will keep you hooked for hours. With its simple yet deep gameplay, diverse characters and upgrades, and tense atmosphere, it’s a must-play for fans of the genre. You can download game on Epic which is free on Jan 03, 2024.
