The world is reeling from a nuclear cataclysm, created by Duncan, the tower architect. The First of his bombs fell in the summer of 1988, and by December they had blacked-out the sun with endless rain. We decided to stop keeping time after this, and it’s been 1988 ever since. Everything that lived through the initial attack will die in the extreme floods that followed. These are the times after, where there are no more months, or even weeks…everything is measured in minutes left to live. Take on the mantle of one of the last remaining misfit survivors, and fight your way to the top of the tower to kill the architect and stop the endless nuclear rain. Ascend to die, and die to survive.
Black Future ’88 is a lightning-fast synth-punk roguelike 2D action shooter where you have only 18 minutes to ascend a procedurally generated tower and exact revenge on its insane architect, Duncan. Fight through waves of murderous robots, laser traps, and screen-filling bosses while the clock ticks toward your inevitable nuclear-induced heart explosion. This Russian-language edition ships with full in-game text and subtitles in Russian.
Play solo or bring a friend in seamless couch co-op—sharing shields, ammo, and that ever-dwindling 18-minute life timer. Push your skills, climb the online leaderboards, and keep the beat pumping with an original soundtrack by Tremor Low.
Choose one of five unique survivors, each with their own starting weapon and special ability, then chain kills to overcharge devastating powers. Every run is a fresh synth-wave fever dream thanks to dynamic level layouts, random weapon drops, and stacking curses that reshape your build on the fly.
