When genocidal Reptilians invade from out of time, only the greatest heroes in history can stop them! Recruit icons like Cleopatra and Einstein in this retro turn-based tactics roguelite. Battle lizard armies across time, bend the rules with wild time-powers, and save humanity with style.

History's greatest heroes. Humanity’s weirdest crisis.

The timeline and everyone in it (that includes you) is under siege! Confront the Reptilian Rising, bring retro miniatures to life on battlefields across time. Fight against The Ouroboros through seven time periods, recruit the best of humanity’s heroes, and upgrade your favorites for the fight ahead. To accomplish this mission, players will take the role of recognisable faces, from heroes like Winston Churchill, Cleopatra, Albert Einstein and many more as they battle against an army of reptile monsters, like a three-headed fascist dinosaur, the Tri-Cannon - a triceratops mashed with a minigun and a legion of scaly sociopaths.

Reptilian Rising is a turn-based tactical roguelite inspired by ‘80s tabletop classics. Command a squad of retro-styled miniatures across battlefields that span the dawn of man to the distant future. Build your team, upgrade your powers, and bend time itself to turn the tide.

British developers Gregarious Games and Robot Circus, and independent game publisher Numskull Games are proud to announce that Reptilian Rising will be receiving a brand new demo this February 18 on Steam in advance of its long awaited full release.

Key Features:

• Squad Tactics, Retro Style: Fight back in fast-paced, reactive turn-based combat. Every attack provokes enemy response - so plan your moves wisely, chain powerful synergies, and use terrain to your advantage. With randomized battle setups and escalating challenges, no two runs are the same.
• Villains, But Make Them Weird: This isn't your average lizard invasion. Face down malevolent Manborgs, lethal Lazer Raptors, and the tri-headed Tri-Cannon. Then prepare to battle the ultimate foe: Dictatorsaur. Good luck. You’re going to need it.
• Big Bads vs Big Brains: With three of humanity’s worst villains sharing one giant dinosaur body, you’ll need the best our species can muster to even the odds. Call up heroes from the dawn of history like Julius Caesar (et tu, Reptiles?), medieval masters of war, like Robin Hood (take from the rich, shoot arrows at dinosaurs) and great minds of super-science like Albert Einstein - all things are relative, but we’re kicking the reptiles out of this family gathering!
• Time-Hopping Mayhem: There’s more to time travel than hopping in a DeLorean, phone booth, or retro police box. In Reptilian Rising you’ll use time energy on time-twisting abilities to throw the Reptilians for a loop. Create clones of your troops, call in reinforcements (we’ve got Scarface on speed-dial), or create time-gates to rush your heroes across the map double time.
• Secrets in the Loop: If you can turn the tide without causing a temporal paradox, you can replay missions to tackle bonus objectives, hop between time periods to uncover secrets, and more.

Reptilian Rising is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) in Spring 2026 at £24.99/ €27.99 / $29.99.
