This is a very similar problem to what I've been fighting as well (also for a game). Personally, I didn't feel any of the packages I had found met my needs, so I created this: http://actionherojs.com/.
I'm working on support for both pure-node distributed data and for a common task queue. It's still pre V1, but I am always happy to have feedback.
