Endless Challenge – The longer you last, the harder the battles become. Global Leaderboard – Compete with players worldwide and prove your mastery of time. An Epic Through the Ages As the Time Shogun, your enemies are as varied as the centuries themselves. Each era demands new tactics, new reflexes, and an unyielding will to survive. Time is Your Battlefield This isn’t just about reflexes—it’s about control. In every battle, you’re not only fighting enemies, you’re fighting the clock. How far will you push your luck before time catches up with you? Will You Become a Legend? The path to glory isn’t just paved with victories—it’s carved into history itself. Stand among the greatest warriors across time, prove your skills, and make your mark for generations to come. The challenge awaits. The centuries are calling. It’s time to draw your blade.

Vector's advantage is chart position (#100 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
