Darkest of Days dated (interesting)

Darkest of Days is a time-travel FPS. The premise is that certain individuals try to alter the history by killing key figures, and it's up to you and your team to save them.

There are 5 time slices. You'll fight in the two World Wars, in the American Civil War, in the city of Pompeii during the eruption and at Little Big Horn (you know, alongside General Custer). You'll use both futuristic and time-specific weapons.

It was revealed in 2007, it's the first project of the devs, it's published by a very small publisher, looks pretty good and it's one of Nvidia's PhysX pet-projects.

What do you think? I guess it'll be a solid, Painkiller-ish shooter.

It will be launched on September 8th.

Looks like a good concept and the video on their website looked good

reminds me to assassins creed storyline... or concept at least...

Or Daikatana, Jericho and Undying.

This game looks pretty cool. It has a lot of potential, and so far it seems like it will meet that potential.

Not bad, but not even close to AAA

PhysX part looks decent, but nothing more - comparison video

Did the demo come out today?

Okay, just finished playing the demo. It's pretty mediocre. I mean, it's not bad, but it's not great. The enemy AI is absolutely terrible. It seems more like they programmed the enemies and allies to fight in large battles and then decided to throw a player in there at the last minute, because the enemies barely ever shoot at you. Using an assault rifle in the Civil War is pretty fun though.kieranb2000

Is it just a Civil War level in the demo then?

Looks interesting. Does this game use the same engine as Oblivion? looks similar especially in the second to last screenshot.

Sounds like a cool idea for a game, i guess i'll try the demo and see what i think

The concept sounds interesting. Probably worth the download.

The Civil War level was the last level in the demo. They just show a trailer after the level, and that is it.

It looks pretty good.

Found a good review of it here: http://gogaminggiant.com/2009/09/08/darkest-days-review/

Here's another detailed review:

I'm glad it's well received.

You save 10% if you buy it now on steam. It's 30 euro for me.
