About Achron
How would combat change if you could foresee the future? If you could prevent your past mistakes from ever happening? What if your enemy could too?
Achron is the first game to feature single-player and multiplayer free-form time travel. It is the world's first meta-time strategy game, a real-time strategy game where players and units can jump to and play at different times simultaneously and independently.
Achron is now available for pre-order for $29.95 (Press Release). Those who pre-order can download the current release and will receive further early playable demos, mod tools, and more .
"[Achron] boasts the most interesting feature in, well, probably any RTS, ever. ...you want innovation in games? This is it." - Jim Rossignol, Rock, Paper, Shotgun
You can undo your mistakes, change your strategy after committing to it, preview the future, freeze time to perfectly coordinate attacks, and send entire fleets through time to when they are needed. However, all of your opponents will also be independently moving across time, attempting to rewrite history in their favor...
"...you can view this game design as the implementation of the sort of classic sci-fi time travel warfare that's been written about for a long time (with specific game design decisions to help make things workable and interesting). And it's like, hey, why *hasn't* someone done that yet?" - Jonathan Blow, creator of Braid

[ 8 / 10 ] - Gamers Daily News "...what Achron does changes the way one looks at one's actions in a video game. It's empowering to see the past, present and future all at once and to know they all can be changed. It's exciting to re-shape a timeline." - Kotaku "'Achron' is so far the boldest attempt to manipulate time to establish itself as a game element. " - Spiegel » See More Media Coverage
