From what Ive put together you are an agent who travels to various places in time to fight different battles from different wars ranging from Pompei - Future including the American Civil War and both World Wars.

Its looks awesome check it out :drool:
 
It looks ...eh. Not really polished/sloppy gameplay, probably won't turn out good. Guess these developers are new so i'll give them that.
 
I personally liked the demo. It was fun mowing confed soldiers down with an automatic machine gun. Didnt kill the blue aura guys because my team usually took them down. It looks like a good game. Defiently buying it.
 
I thought this got canceled. I'm looking forward to it.

It's going to stink, but I can't crush my spirit.
 
looked pretty fun, but i was expecting to be using the weapons of the time you were in, not just take up some weapons and start shooting
 
whoa i hadnt heard of this game till now, just watched a trailer and it looks very interesting.

*goes to download the demo*
 
I work for the company that made this game. I didn't assist in the making of as that's not my "department" - plus I haven't been working here very long, but they're just down the hall. So I guess I can contribute. I don't think I can say too much about it, but here's what I will say.

This game is the first FPS game Phantom EFX has ever attempted, to my knowledge - though this is in combination with some other guys. They're used to making casino games.

This game really is pretty good. Graphically, really nice. The environments, the weapons, the explosions - all very cool. I'm happy I've got the system to be able to crank it out. And the gameplay as a whole, is equally cool. Nothing fancy - this game is more playing it for the experience of the IDEA than to spend 400 hours in.

The premise is this: You are a guy from the past, rescued by some time travelling company in the future. For saving your life, they send you to various points in time to ensure that history flows as it should as there tend to be certain issues with it.

All kinds of various wars, WWI, WWII, fighting indians, you name it - you're there. And a good portion of the time, you're there under some pretty crazy circumstances having to do some pretty crazy things.

The game isn't perfect. It's a small company, and this is a new thing for them. But I'm extremely surprised at what they were able to accomplish given the number of people.

I'd say it's worth the money.

Oh, and...

You do use the weapons from that time period, typically. But sometimes there are circumstances that require...evening things out. For history's sake, you understand.

Also, I believe this game will be available via Steam.

Lol isn't there already a shooter based on time travel? Oh yeah it's called Time Splitters :)
 
yeah the idea is really cool but it just wasn't playing well for me but it still could be just because it's a demo so I'll wait and see what the reviews are when the game comes out. It's a decent demo and worth the free download.
 
lol, nice defense against the company you work for. I'm sorry even if I did work for a company that put out a really horrible game. I would have enough dignity to say that it was no good. But no big deal. Agree to disagree I guess. No offense of course, but this game is just not up to par imo

I'm basing my opinions off of my own judgement.

I posted not to advertise or defend anything, but because there is so little information about the game around - people are very unsure and confused. And given that I've played more than the demo (I haven't even bothered playing the demo), I figured I could help give people one person's opinion on the matter more accurately than most.

All Hail Flea :)

Post any updates you get as I'm sure with this game you'll know before we do :)
 
I think the game was too easy on Normal. It ran well on my 9800 GT, but graphics aren't as tight as today's games. But I still liked it.

Interesting Idea, I liked how it works. Maybe I'll buy it if reviews go well, but I'm a tad busy with Wolfenstien at the moment.
