About Out of Time
Out of Time is a chaotic co-op roguelike that blends frantic beat 'em up action with time-pressured survival. Developed by Manticore Games and released in December 2025, it drops you into a fractured world where past, present, and future bleed together. You and up to three friends fight through waves of corrupted enemies, dodge environmental hazards, and tackle mini-games that twist the battlefield. The goal? Survive as long as possible before the clock hits zero. With procedurally generated stages, gear-based progression, and permadeath stakes, it’s a high-risk, high-reward loop designed for players who thrive under pressure.
Gameplay
The game thrives on rapid combat and teamwork. You’ll slash, punch, and shoot through hordes of enemies while managing a shared stamina meter. Each stage forces you to balance offense and defense, corrupted bosses spawn mid-fight, and mini-games like timed platforming or puzzle-solving interrupt the action. The time counter ticks down relentlessly, adding urgency to every decision. Co-op play requires tight coordination: one player might tank damage while another buffs the group, and a third handles environmental threats. Controls are responsive but punishing; missing a dodge can mean instant death. Sessions rarely last longer than 20 minutes, but the loop of failure, gear upgrades, and strategy tweaks keeps you coming back for more.
What Players Think
Out of Time holds a 4.2/5 rating on Metacritic and a 78% completion rate on PlayPile. Players average 12.5 hours invested, with 62% reporting excitement and 28% frustration. The game’s 65 achievements take 15 hours to 100% complete, focusing on survival milestones and rare loot drops. Community reviews split between praise for its addictive chaos (“Best co-op rush since Dead Cells”) and criticism of its RNG-heavy difficulty (“Feels more like Russian roulette than strategy”). Multiplayer lobbies often fill quickly, but solo play remains viable with AI teammates. Despite a $39.99 price tag, 73% of players say it’s “worth the cost” if you enjoy punishing but fair challenges.
PlayPile's Take
Out of Time is a must-play for fans of chaotic co-op and roguelike grind. Its blend of frantic combat and time-based tension works best with friends, though solo runs with AI partners remain functional. The $39.99 price isn’t steep for the 15+ hours of content, but be prepared to repeat stages multiple times before unlocking meaningful upgrades. If you enjoy tight mechanics and don’t mind frustration as part of the challenge, this one’s worth your time. Skip it if you prefer slow-burn strategy or can’t tolerate permadeath penalties.
