Not just a Real Time Strategy game, but a Meta-Time Strategy game (world’s first, according to developers), Achron for the PC looks pretty interesting. From the developer website:
Like many other games, Achron allows the player to view an overhead map of the surrounding area. However, Achron also shows a map of the timeline. If the player is attacked at a certain point in time, the timeline will show the amount of damage received at that point by a large amount of red on that portion of the timeline. The timeline also shows information including damage dealt and chronoports. Being able to see the amount of available resources at any point in time helps the player figure out the best points in time to construct more units.
Even the purchasing of the game takes place out of real time. Not only do you get to pay for a game you get in the future (which makes you playing a game you paid for in the past), but you get, right now, five full single player levels. Purchasers will get all future major builds up through the final release, plus mod and development tools. Pretty sweet, right? Of course, back in our day, we used to call that a “beta.”
Check out the screenshots below for a glimpse backward through time into the game’s development.
