Okay, I'm going to commit blasphemy...

I do not want to play Starcraft at all!

Yes, I love RTS, but if I want to play SC, I'll play the older ones with LAN.

Anyway, new game, new concept. They worked on it for 10 years.

I found out about it in another forum and it has to do with timetravel. How it works, you can work with past, present, and future to plan attacks. There's paradoxes that come into play which can push an advantage of factories being destroyed or creating a mega army.

All in all, it's a damn good concept for #30 bucks.

Demo on the site.

Now excuse me, I got hilarity to ensue.

What exactly are we discussing/talking about?

New RTS that has time travel as a game mechanic. It warns you about attacks from the future, you can destroy factories from the past, and paradoxes are dealt with in 8 minutes of gametime.

Never saw anything like it.

Is it for console?
If not I doubt I'll be getting it.

I doubt it'll be on anything but PC for a while but you can read about it here [http://achrongame.com/site/about-achron.php]

It's still an interesting concept. I'd love to see it on XBox eventually but it'll be hard to do for console.

Ahh... RTS have never been my type of game. I like them, but the feeling is one sided unfortunatly

Rts time-traveling? I am curious.

I pre-ordered it a while ago, and have been playing the alpha. It's a lot of fun, and hard. Not only do you have to watch out for attacks on all sides, but all points in time that aren't in the immutable (unchangeable) past. It's actually hard to wrap your head around until you give it a play.

Also, I've heard that when they actually release it, the single-player storyline should be really good too.

I thought this was about Archon, just misspelled. We had Archon II on our C64 back in the day. That was a great game... But it was a TBS with Action elements, not an RTS.

I loved those old Archon games!

I will check out Achron too tho!
