Achron, time shifting RTS
- StavrosK 14y agoWow, did this game just come out? I remember it being developed years and years ago!
- hp50g 14y agoI had an idea for a similar game in the late 90's but I never bothered with it (thanks to Unreal Tournament consuming a big chunk of my time) I'm glad someone else came up with the same thing as the idea certainly had some merit. I will be buying this and playing it when I get some time :)
- DoubleCluster 14y agoThe idea is nice, the "pathfinding" is broken enough for the game to be unplayable. Seriously, they just go directly towards their goal and get stuck everywhere.
- ElectroPrime 14y agoActually, it has been much improved in more recent versions. Try it again.
- DiabloD3 14y agoI was going to buy it, but it still seems to be not available for Linux. Also, why isn't this available through Steam?
- Triave 14y agoIt is available through Steam. http://store.steampowered.com/app/109700 http://store.steampowered.com/app/109700
- ElectroPrime 14y agoIt's available on Linux (and on Steam, but not Steam for Linux): http://www.achrongame.com/site/buy-and-download.php http://www.achrongame.com/site/buy-and-download.php
- DiabloD3 14y agoAhh, no wonder I didn't see it, nor did I see any of this listed first glance on the page you linked to. I wonder if they need to get a real marketing team working for them.
- richo 14y agoI bought it, but the DMG doesn't want to mount. file(1) reckons it's just bzip2 data so I'm unpacking it and gunna poke around.
- dave1010uk 14y agoThe Flash game Chronotron [1] is also based around time travel and is worth a quick play. [1] http://www.miniclip.com/games/chronotron/en/ http://www.miniclip.com/games/chronotron/en/
- barbs 14y agoLooks like it has kinda similar mechanics to Braid, which is probably the epitome of 2d-time-manipulating-platforming
- dave1010uk 14y agoBraid looks very cool. Link: http://braid-game.com/ http://braid-game.com/
- StavrosK 14y agoBraid is fantastic, buy it.
- acheron 14y agoWell, skimming that title makes me double-take.
- ndrake 14y agoI misread it as Archon and got excited it was a updated version of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archon_(computer_game) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archon_(computer_game)
- joelhooks 14y agoThere is a decent iOS Archon.
- shangaslammi 14y agoThe great thing is that the time-altering mechanics actually work really well and they even managed to make a user-friendly UI for what is arguably a rather complicated concept. However, the actual RTS part is woefully mediocre and has problems such as bad unit AI and bad path-finding. At least this was my impression of v1.0. I guess I should take another look one of these days and see if the numerous patches have improved things.
